What is Vapour Cleaning?
Vapour cleaning (also known as vapour blasting or honing) is a process of stripping metal using blasting media and water. The media used for blasting includes ceramic beads, glass beads and other abrasives which are combined with water to clean metal surfaces. Vapour cleaning removes:
- paint,
- grease & oil,
- corrosion and rust,
- other contaminants, chemicals and residues.
The impact of metal cleaning on our environment is one of our major concerns. We decided on using the vapour honing process because it’s the best for the Earth.
Auto vapour honing is the most eco-friendly method of cleaning parts because the materials are reused multiple times. All water and abrasives that flow through the AVC closed-loop system are reused after they are filtered of any debris from the parts we clean. Any hazardous waste that remains is carefully disposed of in barrels made of recycled materials by our waste management partners.
