Sandblasting and Powder Coating
Aegis provides powder coating in Richmond, the Fraser Valley and Greater Vancouver. We provide sandblasting and powder coating services for metal fabricators, manufacturers and other companies that need the added protection offered with powder coating. Aegis has over four decades of experience in sandblasting and powder coating.
Our powder coating facility include cleaning and sandblasting. In cases where we receive material already cleaned and sandblasted, we always do a quick blast to remove any possible contaminants picked up during transportation. A clean metal surface is essential for coating powder bonding and adhesion.
For most metals we follow the SSPC (Society for Protective Coatings) cleaning specifications. For aluminum cleaning and preparation we follow the American Architectural manufacturers Association’s AAMA 2605 specifications.
