sandblast resists
Serigraf provides a range of quality products and services for the glass etch and sandblast industries from Ikonics Imaging Systems. Ikonics Imaging Systems is the world's leading supplier of products used in a popular and profitable decorating technique known as sandcarving.
WHAT IS sandcarving
Picture a glass award that has a design etched or engraved in its surface. Sandblasting, is the process used to produce that effect. It is one of the simplest and most accessible methods for personalising or decorating glass, crystal, marble, stone and other surfaces. And, with a low entry cost,sandblasting
is surprisingly affordable.


HOW DOES sandcarving WORK
The sandblasting process is relatively straightforward. First, a photo resist mask is applied to the surface that’s being imaged or blasted. Then, an abrasive, sand-like material (such as aluminium oxide) is propelled onto that surface. The abrasive carves the surface only in the open areas of the stencil, while the areas covered by the photo resist mask remain smooth and spotless. As a result, the image made in the glass, crystal or stone cleanly follows the pattern of the photo resist mask.
Anyone who has the right sandblasting equipment can easily produce intricate, three-dimensional designs on glass, crystal, marble, stone and other surfaces. The finished product can be kept for personal enjoyment, or sold for a profit.
