What does the specification A-A 1722 refer to?

The specification A-A 1722 specifically refers to standards for blast media used in surface preparation, which is critical in the painting process. This specification outlines the types of materials that can be used for blasting, their properties, and the approved preparation methods to ensure the surface is adequately prepared before the application of protective coatings. Proper selection and handling of blast media are essential for optimal adhesion of paints and coatings, as well as ensuring that the surface is free from contaminants that could negatively impact the performance of the coatings.

Understanding the correct use of blast media is integral to the overall quality of surface preparation and contributes significantly to the longevity and effectiveness of protective coatings applied thereafter.
