Fun Facts About Sandblasting 

 Senko Abrasive Blasting is based in Brisbane, and provides a world-class service, but did you know that sandblasting originated in the United States? 

Sandblasting was invented as early as 1870, and it came from simple life observations of the creator; Benjamin Chew Tilgham was a soldier and he noted how the sand, when blown by the wind would etch onto the glass, this observation led him to develop sandblasting in industrial processes. 

It took another 80 years after the introduction of sandblasting for the process of wet sandblasting to be introduced, and it was very effective in reducing dust and reducing static electricity. 

Sandblasting is a safe process, but it was not always, the UK banned the use of silica in the art of sandblasting in 1950 and were followed by the rest of Europe in 1966, due to the high risk of silicosis. 

So, how popular is sandblasting? Something that might make you gauge the global sandblasting market, in 2022 alone, the market for sandblasting abrasive was estimated at over 30,000,000 tonnes, and it’s continued to grow year on year since!
