What is sandblasting, and why is it important for concrete floor preparation?
Sandblasting is a surface preparation technique that involves using high-pressure air and abrasive materials to clean and roughen the surface of the concrete. It helps remove contaminants, old coatings, and impurities, creating a clean and porous surface that allows the new coating to adhere properly. Sandblasting is important for concrete floor preparation as it improves the bond between the concrete and the coating, ensuring better longevity and performance.
