Professional surface preparation to Australian Standards using 20/40 garnet abrasive media.

EXPERT SURFACE PREPARATION FOR LASTING PROTECTION

40+
Years

Proper surface preparation is critical to the success of any industrial coating system. Neumann Industrial Coatings delivers professional abrasive blasting services using 20/40 garnet media in our purpose-built 20m x 7m x 7m blast room—one of the Gold Coast's largest facilities for surface preparation.

Our experienced blasting operators work to Australian Standards (AS 1627.4-2005), delivering Sa 2, Sa 2.5, and Sa 3 blast classifications to suit your specific coating system requirements. Whether you're preparing marine vessels, truck bodies, structural steel, or industrial equipment, we create the optimal surface profile for maximum coating adhesion and long-term protection.

From small components to complete vessels and vehicle bodies, our large-scale facility handles projects of all sizes. We work closely with you to determine the appropriate blast grade for your application, ensuring your coating system performs as intended in its service environment.

COMPREHENSIVE ABRASIVE BLASTING SERVICES

GARNET ABRASIVE BLASTING

We use garnet garnet abrasive media for all blasting operations. Garnet delivers excellent cutting performance, creating the ideal surface profile for coating adhesion while minimising dust and providing a clean, consistent finish. This abrasive is suitable for steel, ductile iron, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals, preparing surfaces effectively for primer and coating application.

Key Benefits:

  • Image
    Excellent cutting performance and efficiency.
  • Image
    Consistent surface profile for optimal coating adhesion.
  • Image
    Low dust generation in controlled environment.
  • Image
    Suitable for all ferrous metal substrates.

15M X 7M X 7M BLAST ROOM FACILITY

Our purpose-built blast room measures 15 metres long, 7 metres wide, and 7 metres tall—providing the capacity to handle truck bodies, marine vessels, large fabrications, and complete assemblies. The controlled environment ensures consistent results, containment of abrasive media, and safe working conditions for our operators. Projects too large for the blast room can be assessed for on-site blasting where conditions permit.

Key Benefits:

  • Image
    One of the Gold Coast's largest blast rooms.
  • Image
    Handles complete vehicles and vessels.
  • Image
    Controlled environment for consistent results.
  • Image
    Safe containment and media recovery systems.

BLASTING TO AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS

All abrasive blasting work is performed to AS 1627.4-2005 (Standards for Surface Preparation). We deliver three primary blast classifications: Sa 2 (commercial blast clean), Sa 2.5 (near-white blast clean), and Sa 3 (white metal blast clean). The appropriate classification is selected based on your coating system requirements, service environment, and manufacturer specifications. Our team provides expert advice to ensure you get the right surface preparation for your application.

Key Benefits:

  • Image
    Compliance with AS 1627.4-2005 standards.
  • Image
    Sa 2, Sa 2.5, and Sa 3 classifications available.
  • Image
    Expert advice on blast grade selection.
  • Image
    Proper surface profile for coating systems.

UNDERSTANDING BLAST CLASSIFICATIONS

SA 2 - COMMERCIAL BLAST CLEAN

Also known as commercial blast clean, Sa 2 removes mill scale, rust, and coating layers, leaving up to 5% of the original surface with slight shadows or discolouration. Suitable for standard atmospheric coating systems and general industrial applications.

SA 2.5 - NEAR-WHITE BLAST CLEAN

The most commonly specified classification, Sa 2.5 removes virtually all mill scale, rust, and contaminants, leaving minimal traces (less than 5% of surface showing slight staining). Ideal for most industrial coating systems including marine and immersion applications.

SA 3 - WHITE METAL BLAST CLEAN

The highest level of surface preparation, Sa 3 removes all visible mill scale, rust, coating, and foreign matter, leaving a uniform metallic appearance. Required for high-performance coating systems and severe service environments.
