The Dangers Of Silica Dust In The Shot Blasting Concrete Industry

In our workplace, we hang a “Silica Dust Warning Sign” to let our clients know that it is not safe to enter this working area while we are Shot Blasting Concrete without wearing the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that our employees are wearing. Even though we are using high-powered dust extractors made to handle the silica dust that our Shot Blaster is producing. Small amounts may still escape from our Shot Blaster and enter the air. This is why our employees wear P2 dust masks.

Please do not ever attempt to enter the workspace without a P2 dust mask while our employees are Shot Blasting your job. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Some dust particles can be so small that they are not visible; these are referred to as respirable particles. Respirable silica dust particles are those that are small enough to breathe in and penetrate deep into the lungs causing permanent damage that can lead to serious illness or death. Silica dust is also linked to the development of auto-immune disorders and chronic renal (kidney) disease.

Crystalline silica dust can be harmful when it’s inhaled into your lungs over a long period at low to moderate levels, or short periods at high levels.

When crystalline silica dust is inhaled it can cause silicosis, a scarring of the lungs. Silicosis is a serious and incurable disease, with symptoms including shortness of breath, coughing, fatigue, and weight loss. In severe cases, the damage caused to the lungs by silicosis can require a lung transplant or may lead to death. Silica dust is harmful when inhaled into your lungs. As it is 100 times smaller than a grain of sand, you can be breathing it in without knowing.

Breathing in silica dust can also cause other serious diseases, such as:

– Lung Cancer
– Kidney Disease
– Autoimmune Diseases, such as Scleroderma

Construction and demolition employees can be at especially high risk of developing these diseases.

Is Shot Blasting Concrete Dangerous?

Yes, Shot Blasting Concrete is dangerous.

– SERIOUS INJURIES: Sometimes Tiny pieces of Concrete can go flying in the air during the Shot Blasting Concrete process, this can accidentally hit your eye causing serious damage if not blindness. The tools required to perform this task are also dangerous to use for people who are not highly skilled in using these tools.

– ACCIDENTAL INJURIES: It’s easy to look up a guide on what tools to use, but injuries often occur from a lack of knowledge of how to use these tools safely.

– PERMANENT LUNG DAMAGE: Inhaling dangerous silica dust by not using the correct PPE and Dust Extractors can be deadly.

The longer silicosis goes without treatment, the more likely it is to develop a complication. Because the disease affects the immune system, silicosis patients are vulnerable to developing tuberculosis, lung cancer, COPD, and kidney disease.

• • Lung Cancer.
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
  • Kidney Disease.
  • Autoimmune Disease.

Breathing in very small (“respirable”) crystalline silica particles, causes multiple diseases, including silicosis, an incurable lung disease that leads to disability and death. Respirable crystalline silica also causes lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and kidney disease.

What Is Shot Blasting Typically Used For?

You can choose up to 10 different bead options for different results while Shot Blasting.  Similar to Concrete Grinding. Shot Blasting also has a range of different abrasives to choose from. Different types of abrasive beads are used to achieve your desired results.

– To Remove Top Layers & Coatings:
remove coatings like paint and epoxy. Shot Blasting is a great way to tackle tough and thick coatings that regular Concrete Grinders cannot penetrate. When it comes to a thick coating in places such as warehouses, Shot Blasting is the best method and quickest method.

– To Remove Markings & Rubber:
Remove line markings from highways, runways, industrial floors, and more.

– To Expose The Aggregate:
Abrasive blastings, such as sandblasting or shot blasting, can be used to expose the aggregate after the concrete has hardened and been set. However, this procedure is not suggested if you want to preserve the exposed aggregate’s colour and shape because it can break and diminish the entire look

– Preparation Of Line Marking On Polished Floors:
Painting on polished floors without abrasion of the floor prior to painting is essentially like painting on glass. The paint will not penetrate the floor and will not have a rough surface to grip. The paint will be sitting on top of the floor and once a vehicle tyre turns on it, the paint will dislodge immediately. Shot Blasting machines are used to prepare the area where line markings are applied to a polished floor to ensure the paint has a rough surface to which it can grip so it doesn’t flake off.

– Removal of Line Marking:
Shot Blasting is the best way to remove unwanted line markings. This is because the Shot Blasting machine moves in a straight, crisp line which results in a cleaner removal of paint. Once the removal process is completed, a surface seal is a great option to seal over the rough concrete and blend the treated surface back in with the rest of the floor

– To Clean And Prepare Surfaces, Such As Steel, Concrete, And Asphalt:
Shot Blasting is the quickest and most affordable way to remove thick layers of concrete per pass. You can choose up to 10 different bead options for different results while Shot Blasting. Similar to Concrete Grinding. Shot Blasting also has a range of different abrasives to choose from. Different types of abrasive beads are used to achieve your desired results.

– To Remove Markings, Rubber, And Asphalt, From Highways, Runways, Industrial Floors, And More:
Shot Blasting improves the micro-texture of the concrete and asphalt pavement surfaces; increasing skid resistance friction values and texture depth. Shot Blasting is an effective method for Highways, Runways, and Industrial Floors.

Is Shot Blasting Better Than Concrete Grinding?

Shot Blasting is often significantly faster than Concrete Grinding in situations where both could be used. In addition to the time saved, the consumables needed for Concrete Grinders tend to be a lot more expensive than the consumables needed for Shot Blasting.

What Is Shot Blasting Concrete?

Shot Blasting machines concentrate these beads in one area at extremely high speeds to clear materials. Typically, this blasting method is used for metals and concrete, and it’s preferred for its surface preparation ability and environmental friendliness.

Shot Blasting Concrete works by using an airless, centrifugal wheel that propels blast media at a high velocity in a controlled pattern and direction. A blast wheel is accelerated at the concrete. Shot Blasting is a one-step preparation technique that removes laitance, paint, old coatings, dirt, and other contaminants and profiles the concrete surface all at once. It will not remove oil-ingress and water.

Shot Blasting machines propel thousands of shot beads as small as 1mm thick and up to 2mm thick over the surface of the floor to dislodge a thin layer of concrete. Once dislodged the loose concrete and shot beads are recycled back into the Shot Blasting machine, with the concrete dust going into an attached vacuum and the shot beads being recycled and used again in the same process.

Shot Blasting beads hit the concrete flooring at high pressure and speed in order to leave it in an optimal condition to then apply a new coating.

Shot Blasting machines are the professionals’ preferred solution for the cleaning and preparation of surfaces before applying a coating, paint, tiles, resin, ETC. It is completely Dust-Free with a high rate of removal, cost-effective & minimum downtime.

Captive Shot Blasting is very effective for the removal of concrete laitance, latex, old coatings, and contaminants, and for creating non-slip surfaces. The depth of the profile is variable allowing different textures from light abrasion to fully exposed aggregates depending on the floor specification.

Shot Blasting is a great way to prepare concrete floors for the application of line marking (to ensure the paint has a rough surface to adhere to) or to remove unwanted line markings.

However, it’s important to know that they can also be used on different types of floors, such as asphalt, concrete, and even steel.

What Are The Benefits Of Shot Blasting Concrete?

Shot Blasting Concrete is highly beneficial to any contractor who needs to prepare floors to give the ultimate anchor pattern for floor coatings, screeds and indeed, smart polished concrete contractors who want to massively reduce the time taken to grind down to the aggregate.

Golden Rule:
Use the smallest shot that will get the job done! The reason for this is:

– The Smaller Shot Will Blast Much Faster:
The job will go a lot faster as you will do more square metres per hour because the machine is far more powerful than a Concrete Grinder.

– You won’t take out the unnecessary depth of concrete:
Taking unnecessary depth only wears out the blast wheel and wears liners unnecessarily which means more depth will be taken away, which results in a coating or screed to be required to fill it.

– In The Case Of A Coating:
A beautiful fine-blasted finish will cover nicely, but an over-blasted surface will increase costs to fill the profile with epoxy if you use the wrong shot.

If you need to create a bigger profile for any reason then a bigger shot is the way to go. But still, the same rule applies; use the smallest shot that will give you the profile at the best time.

Shotblasting has the advantage that it is far faster and less costly per square metre to prepare floors and give excellent adhesion. Many coatings contractors will Shot Blast lightly, then diamond grind lightly, to get an excellent finish and give your customer the ultimate adhesion on the job. It’s faster, quicker and less costly.

How Does Shot Blasting Concrete Work?

Shot blasting concrete works by using an airless, centrifugal wheel that propels blast media at a high velocity in a controlled pattern and direction. A blast wheel is accelerated at the concrete surface and contaminants that are removed land in a recovery chamber. The steel shot comes in different grits or sizes.

Is Shot Blasting Concrete Hard?

Yes, Shot Blasting Concrete can be a difficult and time-consuming project and the challenges often remain hidden until the project is underway. Depending on the installation method and how the flooring system or coating has been installed.

If you have a Shot Blasting Concrete job that iss over 10 square metres, it is considered a hard task, that will be expensive and frustrating to attempt to do yourself. It’s often cheaper to hire a Shot Blasting Concrete contractor than to hire the tools, PPE, and other equipment required to attempt the project yourself.

There are several different installation methods when it comes to flooring systems and a huge range of different factors when it comes to floor coatings. We only recommend attempting Shot Blasting Concrete yourself if the project is under 10 square metres and you have the appropriate tools, PPE, and dust extraction equipment.

Shot Blasting equipment can be incredibly hard and frustrating to use. At Shot Blasting Concrete Sydney our team has specialised for years in the field of Shot Blasting Concrete.

Shot Blasting Concrete is normally best left up to a specialist team such as ourselves with the proper knowledge and equipment to do the job correctly while ensuring a smooth result while making sure the job is done correctly.

Floor Coatings can have a huge range of different factors which can make it more difficult or easier to remove. Shot Blasting Concrete is one of the most difficult services. Shot Blasting Concrete can be incredibly hard to learn and incredibly dangerous without the proper Shot Blaster and safety equipment.

Even if you head down to your local shop and hire a powerful Concrete Grinder. If you get the wrong diamond and you are not educated on how to use the equipment you could end up spending a huge amount of time and thousands of dollars by mistake while attempting to do the project yourself.

Even if you do remove the coating, you may have ruined your concrete slab in the process and end up spending more money than if you hired a professional Shot Blasting Concrete expert.
