Etymology
The term 'sandblaster' originated in the late 19th century when the technology for using compressed air to clean surfaces was developed. The 'sand' in sandblaster refers to the abrasive material commonly used in the process, which is usually silica sand. The concept of sandblasting was patented in 1870 by Benjamin Tilghman, who sought an efficient way to clean and prepare surfaces. As industries progressed, the method evolved, and the term 'sandblaster' became common, encompassing various types of abrasive blasting techniques, including those using materials other than sand. Over time, sandblasters have become essential tools in manufacturing and construction, streamlining the finishing processes and improving the quality of surface treatments.
