What exactly is it we do you ask?
Soda blasting is a cleaning and surface preparation technique that uses specialised sodium bicarbonate as the blasting media. It is similar to traditional sandblasting, but instead of using sand or other abrasive materials, it relies on the gentle abrasiveness of soda particles to remove unwanted coatings, contaminants, and debris from various surfaces.
Our blasting process involves the following steps:
Blasting Equipment: A soda blasting machine or cabinet is used, which consists of a blasting gun or nozzle connected to an air compressor and a container that holds the media.
Soda Media: The blasting media used is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. The media particles are relatively soft compared to traditional abrasives like sand, making them less likely to damage delicate surfaces.
Blasting Procedure: The media blasting gun releases a high-pressure stream of compressed air combined with fine media particles. When directed at the target surface, the media particles impact and remove the unwanted material through a combination of abrasive action and a mild chemical reaction.
Cleaning and Coating Removal: our blasting is effective at removing paint, rust, grease, oil, graffiti, and other contaminants from surfaces like metal, wood, concrete, and fiberglass. It can be used on delicate surfaces, such as historical monuments, automotive parts, and fragile materials, without causing damage.
Environmentally Friendly: One of the significant advantages of our blasting is its eco-friendliness. The media is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it safe for the environment and for workers performing the blasting process.
Residue Removal: After blasting, the residual media particles and removed contaminants can be easily washed away with water or vacuumed up, leaving behind a clean surface ready for further treatment or coating application.
blasting is often preferred in situations where traditional abrasive blasting might be too harsh and cause damage or when environmental concerns require the use of a more eco-friendly method. However, it's essential to consider the specific requirements of the surface and the material being removed before deciding on the blasting method.
