Ultra High Pressure (UHP) Water Blasting involves the use of UHP Water (usually between 20,000 psi and 40000 psi) to prepare a surface for coating or paint. UHP Water Blasting uses an array of motors (usually diesel to handle the flow rate and psi needed for Surface Preparation), pumps, and accessories to ensure that a surface is ready for paint or coating is as little time as possible.

Benefits of Water Blasting  

• UHP Water Blasting is cleaner and less wasteful than Abrasive Blasting.
• Compared to Abrasive Blasting, UHP Water Blasting leaves 98% less residue behind
• KMT Aqua-Dyne UHP Water Blasting is dust free. 
• Dust free environment allows coating and painting to happen simultaneously with Surface Preparation.
• Dust sensitive areas can be maintained while Surface Preparation is taking place.
• Removal of multi-layered coating systems is possible.
• Preparation of specific areas is possible without harming the surrounding areas
• UHP Water Blasting is extremely gentle. It will not distort or change the physical property of the surface.
• There is no damage to sensitive areas, such as welding seams and connecting joints
• Lower cost for disposal of material.
• Prepared surfaces are contaminant free.

Surface Preparation is the process of removing contaminants from a substrate to be maintained or painted. Removable contaminants include paint, oil, scale, or rust. 

In recent years, UHP Water Blasting has become the leading method for Surface Preparation. It is extremely ingenious and environmentally friendly. It also eliminates the cost associated with acquisition, transportation and disposal of abrasives because it uses only pressurized water.
