Most DFW powder coating shops outsource their sandblasting, adding 5-10 days to your turnaround and creating quality control issues. At Performance Powder Works, blasting and coating happen under one roof.
❌ Outsourced Sandblasting
- • 1-2 week external turnaround
- • Unknown prep quality
- • Coordination delays
- • Potential contamination
- • No control over process
✅ In-House Sandblasting
- • Same-day blasting and coating
- • Controlled surface profile
- • Seamless workflow
- • Immediate coating on fresh blast
- • Complete quality control
Technical Capabilities
Booth Size
Accommodates parts up to 8' wide × 8' tall × 16' long - handles most structural steel and fabrications
Blasting Media
Aluminum oxide, steel grit, glass bead - media selected based on substrate and coating requirements
SSPC Standards
SSPC-SP 10 (near-white metal) and SSPC-SP 6 (commercial blast) - industry-standard surface prep
Surface Profile
1.5-3.0 mils typical anchor pattern - creates mechanical grip for superior coating adhesion
Same-Day Processing
Most parts move directly from blast booth to powder coating - no waiting, no oxidation
Quality Verification
Visual inspection of surface cleanliness and profile - ensures compliance with coating requirements
Our Sandblasting Process
Inspection & Assessment
Evaluate surface condition, rust levels, and contamination. Determine optimal blasting media and profile based on coating requirements.
Abrasive Blasting
Remove mill scale, rust, old coatings, oil, and grease. Create uniform anchor pattern for coating adhesion. Expose clean, reactive metal surface.
Quality Verification
Inspect surface profile and cleanliness. Verify compliance with SSPC-SP standards. Ensure proper prep for coating type.
Immediate Coating
Parts move directly from blast booth to powder coating. No oxidation or contamination between steps. Superior adhesion and coating performance.
What We Sandblast
Steel & Iron
- Structural steel with mill scale
- Rusty or corroded parts
- Previously painted or coated steel
- Welded fabrications and assemblies
Non-Ferrous Metals
- Aluminum (with appropriate media)
- Stainless steel
- Bronze and brass
- Cast metals
Why Surface Prep Matters
The best powder coating will fail if applied over poor surface preparation. Proper sandblasting is the foundation of a durable, long-lasting finish.
Removes Contaminants
Eliminates all substances that prevent adhesion - oil, grease, rust, mill scale
Creates Anchor
Mechanical grip lets coating lock into the surface for superior bond strength
Long-Term Performance
Proper prep ensures 15-20+ year coating lifespan in Texas weather
⚠️ Important:
Skip or rush surface prep, and your coating will peel, flake, or fail prematurely - regardless of how expensive the powder was.
Standalone Sandblasting Services
While most of our clients combine sandblasting with powder coating, we also offer standalone blasting services for:
- • Pre-welding surface preparation
- • Restoration projects
- • Parts being coated elsewhere
- • Surface cleaning and contamination removal
