What Is a Blasting Helmet?
Blasting helmets, also known as sandblaster helmets, are headgear designed to ensure safety during sandblasting operations. Sandblasting involves spraying abrasive materials at high pressure, necessitating protection for the face, head, and neck from scattered abrasives.
Two main types of blasting helmets are available. Air-supplied helmets create a pressure difference between the helmet’s interior and exterior, preventing abrasive materials from entering. The dust mask style features a helmet with a front-mounted dust mask equipped with a filter. The helmet consists of a lens, hood, and helmet body, offering clear visibility, protection from abrasives, and head safety.
