Soda
Blasting is a nondestructive operation that can remove or
prepare old paint and will not damage most base materials
comprising the body structure, i.e. steel, aluminum,
fiberglass, moldings, window glass, etc.
- SodaClean is a non
hazardous food grade material that is 100% water soluble
and environmentally safe.
- Soda Blasting will
eliminate the need of using toxic cleaning chemicals.
- Soda Blasting will
clean multilayered surfaces to any level desired.
- Soda Blasting may be
used to clean while machines and processes are in
operation.
Standard abrasive blasting is a dirty process, often loading
and even embedding the surface with contaminants (grease,
oil, tar & abrasive particles) in the process of removing
the coating. Recycled abrasives compound this problem by
loading increased amounts of contaminants into the
substrate.
SodaClean
Maintenance Plus blast media effectively de-coats and cleans
the substrate in one step; producing a level of cleanliness
not seen with most processes. The media is not reusable thus
eliminating the issue of blasting with re-used media.
Coating adhesion relies heavily on surface cleanliness and a
surface profile has been used to offset this lack of
cleanliness.

SodaClean Maintenance Plus blast media offers the unique
properties of sodium bicarbonate, the primary ingredient.
The softness and friable nature of this crystal produces a
unique cutting action with little or no effect on most
substrates. For example, thick coatings can be removed from
glass without any etching effect. With proper care, delicate
substrates can be cleaned without damage. |
