In general, this technology is intended for decorative purposes: the capacity to preserve the original colour of the processed material, the option to select the level of coarseness suitable for the desired application and the applicability of this technology on any thickness make it an essential work tool. The degree of erosion produces various finishing effects on the surface and together with the chromatic variety of each material preserved during the process, this results in decorative effects that cannot be reproduced with other technologies.

The various levels of coarseness are obtained by modifying three primary factors: the pressure employed during the process, the distance between the nozzle and the material, and the synchronised speed at which the nozzle moves.

As in the cutting process, the Hydrofinish system is an entirely environmentally sustainable industrial process, since it does not produce smoke, heat or polluting liquid waste.
