Superior Technology based Microblasting - IEPCO AG
Microblasting technology is a dry, fine blasting process that uses blasting shots with defined grain sizes, hardnesses and geometries to influence the microtopography of surfaces of any kind and condition in order to change them positively.
Why do surfaces have to be microblasted ?
- 100% pure base material with no loose particles
- No preferred direction, unlike in brush finishing
- Reproducible machining process
- Time and cost savings
- Optimum adherend surface for subsequent coatings
- Repair of mould cavities to produce VDI-compliant surfaces
Ease & Accuracy - Easy to Install & Maintain

- Medical technology
IEPCO Microblasting in 2 Steps
The technology presented below is to be applied for eroded surfaces, ground surfaces and HSC milled cavities and mould sections.
Eroded surface
The so called “white zone” adheres to the thermally damaged surface and can lead to problems in subsequent coating ( PVD, CVD and galvanic ). Thermal post-treatment is also negatively influenced.
Step 1: Cleaning
The surface is cleaned and uniformed with a fine, pointed microblasting shot that also removes all loose parts. The adherend surface prepared for all types of coating, if necessary.
Step 2: Densification
The mould surface is densificated while tribological additives are simultaneously dispersed into the metal surface. The tribological properties are improved for a wide variety of applications.
High Quality, Precision & Controlled Erosion
Furrowing, overheating and grinding wheel residues from grinding, steps from milling, splintering or base material stripping from HSC milling. These sometimes undesired appearances after machining can be eliminated with iepco microblasting.
