Southern Blasters, Inc. is a sandblasting and industrial coatings company based at 615 Waco Road in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Wet abrasive blasting utilizes water to propel abrasives. This method offers several advantages, including dust suppression by trapping airborne particles and providing surface lubrication. Additionally, the water minimizes impact force, thereby reducing the risk of removing intact material.
Dry blasting, also referred to as abrasive blasting, is a broad term describing the process of smoothing, shaping, and cleaning a hard surface by propelling dry solid particles at high speeds across it, such as Starblast, Soda Blast, Glass Beads, Walnut Shells, Plastic Media and Black Beauty.
Inner Diameter (ID) Blasting is the process of cleaning or preparing the inside surface of a pipe using specialized equipment to direct a stream of abrasive material to reach the entire internal area, typically using compressed air to propel the abrasive particles. This removes rust or other contaminants and prepares the inside of pipes before applying coatings or for surface modifications.
All types of industrial painting and coatings, including High Build Epoxies, Polyurethane, Polysiloxanes, Acrylic, Latex, Alkyd, Zinc-Rich, Industrial Enamels and many more.
Powder coating applies a dry, electrostatically charged powder to a freshly blasted surface, then heat-cures it into a hard, even finish. The result resists chipping, scratching, corrosion and fading far better than conventional paint, with no runs or drips. It's a great fit for trailers, railings, outdoor furniture, equipment parts and more, in a wide range of colors and finishes.

Wet blasting mixes water with the abrasive, which keeps dust down and softens the impact so less sound material is removed. Dry blasting (sandblasting) propels dry media at high speed and is the fastest way to strip rust, paint, and mill scale from steel. We will recommend the right method for your part and coating.
