Home to the historic HMNB Portsmouth and major defence contractors like BAE Systems Maritime, the local economy relies heavily on robust marine engineering and naval shipbuilding. Maintaining these massive maritime assets and the surrounding port infrastructure creates a constant, high-volume demand for industrial-grade surface preparation and protective coating applications.

What Is Mill Scale Removal Shot Blasting?

Mill scale removal by shot blasting strips the hard, brittle oxide layer that forms on hot-rolled steel during manufacturing. Mill scale must be removed before protective coatings are applied — if left in place, it causes premature coating failure as it detaches from the underlying steel. Shot blasting is the most effective and efficient method of mill scale removal.
