Is there any risk of fire with Sodablast?
Its non-flammable properties allow sodium bicarbonate to be used for cleaning in the petroleum industry where other methods could not be used. Static electricity is an unavoidable by product of using high pressure air to propel blast media. Whilst Sodablast reduces the amount of static produced, there is still a need to properly ground a metal object. However, sodium bicarbonate does not produce electrical sparks the same way that sand striking metal does. This is an obvious advantage where flammable gases and liquids might be present.
