Industrial coating surface preparation

At Thomas, we’ve always been ones for fundamentals. And in our business, you really can’t get much more fundamental than properly prepping your surface for your scripted next step.

We’ve surface-preparation experience in the form of abrasive blasting. And we’ve used an assortment of media including glass, grit, slag, sand, sponge, walnut and steel shot. We use specialized media-recycling equipment designed for large-scale surface prep. And in addition to the big jobs, we of course have the tools and expertise for the small ones too.

Short of it? We can prep nearly any surface.
