Why Is Soda Blast Cleaning So Effective?

Why Is Soda Blast Cleaning So Effective?

Blasting soda is an extremely friable and soft material that undergoes micro fragmentation on impact, taking away surface materials without damaging the fabric of your building or surface.  Soda particles fracture on impact thus providing the energy for a thorough cleaning action while softening the impact on the substrate.

specialised soda blasting technique is fast becoming the preferred method for cleaning and restoring many heritage and architectural buildings, monuments, commercial buildings, industrial and engineering works, refineries, food processing, transport and marine structures.

It is an environmentally friendly, non-destructive, non-abrasive blasting process using specially formulated granules of natural bicarbonate of soda and controlled amounts of compressed air. No harmful conventional chemical cleaning products are used.

Soda blasting is by far the quickest, safest and most cost effective method to clean and remove decades of pollution, residues, micro-organisms and coatings from virtually any surface without damaging the substrate.

It Is A Proven, Highly Versatile Process With Many Applications In Cleaning, Renovation And conservation Restoration works Including:

·         - paint stripping

·         - graffiti removal

·         -  molecular steel passivation against rust

·         - oil removal by saponification and translocation

·         - paint removal from delicate fibreglass

·         - industrial equipment maintenance

The Soda Blast cleaning process…

We operate with blast pressures from as low as 0.5 bar using the New Vortex II Spin Blast Head Nozzle which allows for greater accuracy for very sensitive services.

soda blast cleaning equipment is a unique design combined with the latest technology that complies with European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC, also known as the PED.

It is a self contained system that includes a blast generator, high pressure compressed air, moisture decontamination system, blast hose with remote controls, and a blast nozzle that is capable of handling dry or wet blasting material.

Some Of The Benefits Of Soda Blasting

·         Environmentally friendly – no dangerous solvents, chemicals or harmful abrasives are used.           These can seriously damage the fabric of your building and create disposal issues

·         Gentle – mild and non-abrasive, will not damage the material of your building

·         Quick – cleans in a fraction of time compared to traditional cleaning methods, saving you costs         while reducing any disturbance to your business

·         Rapid clean up – little or nothing needs to be spent to clean up following soda blasting

·         Highly versatile – can be used on a multitude of surfaces to remove a multitude of coatings, debris   and pollution

·         Low pressure system safety – using the unique Vortex II spin head nozzle  Non-flammable & non-sparking
