What is Soda Blasting?
Soda Blasting is an environmentally friendly way to remove paint, stain, dirt, smoke, soot, other coatings and contaminants without damaging the surface being blasted. The action of the sodium bicarbonate removes the coating without causing heat buildup, sparks or abrasion to the surface. The other mediums we use have similar traits and utilize basically the identical process.
A. Soda blasting is an environmentally friendly way of removing paint, dirt, coatings and other surface contaminants without causing damage to the surface being cleaned. Unlike sand blasting, the action of the sodium bicarbonate used, does not cause heat buildup, sparks, or abrasion to the substrata. Sodium bicarbonate is water-soluble and in most cases, depending on your local laws, can be disposed of through conventional drainage systems. The only material that needs to be disposed of is the contaminant removed, which can be separated by dissolving the blast media in water, and the use of a filter or centrifuge to separate the contaminant from the solution.
