Steel Shot Blasting Method for Typical Applications
Steel "shot blasting" (aka "bead blasting") is typically the recommended method of surface preparation by most coating manufacturers. Shotblasting, also known as shotblast, shot blast, and bead blasting, is recommended for many reasons. Shotblasting offers high production rates, blast pattern accuracy, and wide abrasive selections make steel shot blasting an attractive choice for a variety of resulting surface profiles.
It eliminates the use of harsh non-eco friendly chemicals and leaves the concrete floor with the desired profile ready for coating. Applications such as mastic and glue removal, surface cleaning and texturing, concrete etching and profiling, and epoxy and sealer removal makes shotblasting an attractive alternative in various circumstances. Prep Tec can deliver any surface profile from CSP1 to CSP9 per ICR1 standards. (See www.icri.org)

Scarification for Heavy Duty Applications
Prep Tec uses steel and Tungsten carbide cutters to break or chip away a variety of coating materials. Scarification procedures used on horizontal surfaces can be a highly efficient method of removing urethanes, epoxies, polyurea, thermoplastic, etc. Prep Tec provides surface preparation of existing and new concrete floors through a mechanical dust-contained scarification system.
Using hardened tungsten carbide cutters, the scarifying process removes the toughest finishes including layers of concrete impregnated with contaminates, epoxy overlays, curing compounds, sealers, laitance, coatings, elastomeric membranes, traffic markings, and other surface coatings. The result is a prepared high profile surface.
Scarification Uses
- Epoxy removal
- Mastics removal
- Concrete milling and removal
- Paint removal
- Epoxy Line removal
- Traffic Lines removal
Milling for Super Heavy Duty Applications
Prep Tec's specialized Eliminator machines are designed specifically for heavy duty concrete milling which pulverizes concrete ¼” and more. Milling is designed for super heavy duty preparation needs. Customers with super heavy duty removal needs usually can find no one else in the marketplace and turn to Prep Tec. This type of super, heavy duty removal is often infrequent and therefore very few, if any, competitors invest the necessary capital for this capability. This ideal situation makes Prep Tec the only contractor, typically, that can do the project.
