Inner and outer surface to be painted is cleaned from all impacts such as grease, dirt, rust and dust which may harm the quality of coating with Grid Blasting method and so the surface has the right roughness value necessary for coating.
Cleanliness degree is determined by taking into consideration related standards and customer necessities with EN ISO 8501-1 standard of cleanliness degrees. The cleanliness degree used mostly is Sa 2 ½.
Surface roughness which is cleaned with Grid Blasting method is supposed to be betweem the values of 40 and 70 microns according to ISO 4287-1.
