What is the role of ultra high pressure water-jetting in surface preparation?

The role of ultra high pressure water-jetting in surface preparation is primarily to provide a non-destructive cleaning method. This technique uses high-pressure water streams to effectively remove contaminants such as dirt, grease, and loose debris from surfaces without damaging the underlying material. It is especially useful in situations where traditional abrasive cleaning methods might impair the integrity of the substrate.

While ultra high pressure water-jetting can also enhance paint adhesion by ensuring that the surface is clean, its primary designation as a method is for cleaning rather than altering the texture of the surface or stripping away significant layers of material. This makes it an important process in ensuring that surfaces are suitable for subsequent coatings while preserving the integrity of the substrate being treated.
