Vapour Blasting
Vapour blasting, also known as wet blasting or liquid honing, is rapidly becoming the number one choice for applications requiring the highest quality of surface finish. The key to the vapour blasting process is that the finish is produced through flow of water borne abrasive, giving a finer finish due to the flushing action of the water. No media is impregnated into the component, nor is there any dust created by the break-up of media, unlike dry blasting where the finish is produced by sheer force of media impact.
Advantages of Vapour Blasting
-
Dust free process
-
Cleans by flow of water not by impact
-
Simultaneously degrease & blast clean
-
Water acts as a lubricant between media & component
-
Promotes longer media life
-
Produces a 'softer' finish
-
Avoids media impregnation on soft materials

Powder Coating
Powder coating is a surface treatment used to protect metals and other materials. This coating is applied electrostatically as a free-flowing powder and cured under heat or UV light. It can be applied to any material, but it is commonly used on steel, aluminium, and plastic.
Powder coating provides excellent rust prevention, colour uniformity and scratch protection.
Powder coating is a commonly used surface coating on motorcycle parts since it is tough, can vary in thickness, and comes in various colours and surface finishes.
