Will Vapor Honing Damage Sealing Surfaces

We get many questions every day but today we will be focusing on one question, which is “will vapor honing damage sealing surfaces?” Today, we will answer that question for you. Additionally, what is Vapor Honing? Vapor honing is a surface refinishing process that combines water, compressed air, and abrasives to clean and restore surfaces. In our video below, we will discuss the vapor honing process on a cylinder that came off a motorcycle.

 

With a delicate and gentle process such as this it will not erode and damage sealing surfaces. The flow-based nature of the process gently washes and scrubs away contaminates on the surface doing no harm to the surface being blasted. With our vapor honing machine, you can blast most surfaces such as metal, wood, plastic, and rubber.

 

Benefits

Water plays a big role in the vapor honing process. With water, it makes it possible to clean while eliminating contaminates at the same time. With the addition of water, it always keeps the surface cool meaning it will not generate any heat. Most importantly, water acts as a lubricant and when mixed with abrasive, it cushions the abrasive upon impact. Upon impact, the water will flow off the surface and will naturally clean as you go. The Vapor Honing process is a safe method that does not emit dust, meaning you can work side by side.

Vapor Honing is a great process to clean and remove contaminates from the surfaces. Unlike traditional dry blasting, there is no cushioning effect when undergoing this process. The impact of dry blasting is the sheer forces of abrasives slamming against the surfaces with nothing to cushion the abrasives. Can you imagine the damage on a sealing surface such as a cylinder from a motorcycle?

Hopefully you have learned something new today and your question is answered. Vapor Honing will not damage any sealing surfaces because the water cushions the abrasive upon impact.  Its also fast and easy to operate.
