Application
When working with Black Blast™, use
gloves to prevent skin abrasion and
safety glasses to prevent irritation. Use
blast material in the cleaning or
preparing of a surface by forcibly
propelling a stream of abrasive material
against it. Use the material to make it
smoother, remove surface contaminants
or to roughen a surface. Can be used for
removal of paint and to create a proper
surface for a new coating. Proper use
and sizing will give a precision finish.
Black Blast™ is made for abrasive
blasting applications. Dry abrasive
blasting applications are typically
powered from a diesel air compressor.
Most applications involve a pressurized
vessel that contains the abrasive and
meters it into the compressed air stream.
Wet blasting is accomplished by injecting
the abrasive into a pressurized water
stream or creating a slurry of abrasive
and water that is pressurized or
introduced into a compressed air stream.
Wet blasting is often used in applications
where the minimal dust generation is
desired. Portable applications may or
may not recycle the abrasive and
portable dry blasting generally does not
attempt to contain or minimize the dust
generated from the operation.
Clean Up
Clean up excess blasting material and
blasted surface material with a vacuum
or a broom.

Precautions
Black Blast™ contains a low free silica
material. When used as a sand blast abrasive
follow these safety precautions.
Material may be irritating to the skin and
eyes. Use protective equipment, abrasive
resistant clothing, safety shoes, leather
gloves, eye and ear protection and
approved helmet.
Avoid breathing dust. Prolonged exposure
to high concentrations of dust may lead to
a depression of the pulmonary function.
Use of OSHA/NIOSH approved respirator
or hood is recommended.
