Meeting SSPC Industry Standards

Sandblasting enhances the visual aesthetics and strength of your fabricated steel. Halo Environmental offers industry-leading sandblasting in Western Canada to protect your industrial assets against corrosion and damage. Whether your surface needs to be smooth, rough or free from contaminants, our experienced team of professionals will get it done.

Halo Environmental is committed to offering industry-leading sandblasting in Western Canada that meets The Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) industry standards. Our experienced and highly trained team understands that without proper surface preparation, coatings won't adhere perfectly to substrates, and systems will fail.

By following SSPC standards, our team achieves standardized surface prep results across all our surface preparation services. We meet several SSPC standards, including:

  • SSPC-Surface Preparation (SP)-1 — Solvent Cleaning: Standard for removal of soluble substances from steel.

  • SSPC-SP-2 — hand tool cleaning: This standard covers the removal of all loose paint, rust, mill scale and other loose destructive foreign matter from coating applications or surfaces using non-powered hand tools.

  • SSPC-SP-3 — power tool cleaning: SP-3 guides the removal of all destructive foreign matter from the surface of coating applications using powered tools.

  • SSPC-SP-5 — white metal blasting: This standard directs the use of abrasive blast media to effectively clean a painted or unpainted steel surface of any foreign matter, such as oil, grease, dust and dirt, into a white metal condition.

  • SSPC-SP-6 — commercial blast cleaning: SP-6 checks that all steel surfaces are cleaned into white metal conditions — as in SP-5 above. It further checks that the foreign matter doesn't leave more than 33% of random staining from previous exposure.

  • SSPC-SP-7 — brush-off blast cleaning: SP-7 covers the threshold for cleaning mill scale, oil, grease, dust and other adherents from painted or unpainted steel surfaces using abrasive blast media.

  • Other SSPC standards we adhere to include:


  • SSPC-SP-10 — near-white metal blast cleaning

  • SSPC-SP-11 — power tool cleaning to bare metal

  • SSPC-SP-14 — industrial blast cleaning

  • SSPC-SP-15 — commercial grade power tool cleaning

  • SSPC-SP-16 — brush-off blast cleaning of non-ferrous metals
