For Tho­rough Surface Preparation

Con­crete is a durable and ver­satile building material. Over time, however, it is heavily stressed by wea­thering, mecha­nical loads, che­micals, or abrasion. Cracks, efflo­re­s­cence, dirt, algae growth, or old coa­tings can impair the sta­bility and appearance of structures. 

For suc­cessful con­crete reno­vation, tho­rough surface pre­pa­ration is crucial. Blasting agents remove damaged layers, deposits, or loose par­ticles. This creates a struc­tured, clean surface that opti­mizes the adhesion of reno­vation plasters, coa­tings, or pro­tective systems.

Why Blasting Agents are Important in Con­crete Renovation

The demands on con­crete sur­faces in the reno­vation sector are high: the sur­faces must be load-bearing, clean, and roug­hened to securely receive new layers. Blasting agents ensure that: 

  • loose par­ticles, old coa­tings, and deposits are removed,
  • the surface roughness required for the adhesion of reno­vation plaster, epoxy resin, or coa­tings is created.
  • the adhesion and lon­gevity of the reno­vation are increased.
  • In addition, stan­dards such as DIN EN 1504 for con­crete repair are com­plied with.

By cor­rectly choosing the blasting agent type, grit size, and blasting pressure, effi­cient cleaning, material pre­ser­vation, and maximum adhesion can be combined.

Advan­tages of Using Blasting Agents in Con­crete Renovation

  • Effective removal of old coa­tings, deposits, and loose material
  • Standard-com­­pliant surface pre­pa­ration for reno­vation plasters and pro­tective systems.
  • Material-fri­endly cleaning of sen­sitive con­crete surfaces
  • Optimal adhesion for new coa­tings or repair materials.
  • Longer lifespan and sta­bility of the reno­vated components.

Tips for Using Blasting Agents in Con­crete Renovation

Treat soft, delicate sur­faces only with gentle blasting agents. Heavily damaged or soiled con­crete sur­faces require blasting agents with high material removal rates.

For reno­vation plasters or coa­tings, a certain roughness is usually recom­mended depending on the material and coating system.

Too high a pressure can damage the con­crete; too low a pressure will not suf­fi­ci­ently remove deposits.

With fresh con­crete or damp sur­faces, blasting can lead to pore damage. Dry material ensures better results.

Blasting work gene­rates dust, abrasion, and splashes. Respi­ratory pro­tection, safety glasses, gloves, and pro­tective suits are man­datory. An extra­ction system or dust filter increases safety.

After blasting, sur­faces should be treated promptly with reno­vation plaster, coating, or cor­rosion pro­tection to ensure optimal adhesion.
