Etymology

The term 'sandblasted' comes from the process of sandblasting which emerged in the late 19th century. The invention of the sandblasting machine is credited to an American named Benjamin Chew Tilghman in 1870. The original process involved using a high-pressure stream of sand to clean or etch surfaces, which was revolutionary at the time. Sandblasting became popular in various industries, including construction, manufacturing, and art. Over time, the technique evolved, leading to the use of different abrasives and methods, but the fundamental concept of using an abrasive medium remains unchanged. Today, the term is widely used to describe both the process and the products resulting from this method, reflecting its significance in modern industrial applications.
