What is Soda Blasting?
One of the most commonly asked questions of Advanced Services & Solutions is, what is Soda Blasting? Soda Blasting is an environmentally-friendly type of media that cleans fire damage, mold, paint, dirt, grease, coatings and other surface contaminants without causing damage to the substrate (surface) being cleaned.
How does soda blasting work?
Blasting soda is a material that undergoes micro fragmentation on impact, literally exploding away surface materials without damage to the substrate underneath.
What are the advantages of soda blasting over harder abrasives?
Unlike abrasive blasting, sodium bicarbonate particles remove contaminants by the energy released when the particles explode as they come in contact with the surface to be cleaned.
Can I recycle or re-use the Sodium Bicarbonate?
No. You cannot recycle it once used. It is considered a one-pass media. Unlike other abrasives, Sodium Bicarbonate is extremely friable, meaning that it fractures into much smaller particles upon impact.
What surfaces can soda blasting be used on?
Soda blasting can be used to remove grease, indelible stains, paint, asphalt, soot and mold from virtually any surface, including chrome, steel, aluminum, fiberglass, concrete, brick, glass, and even wood.
Is soda blasting environmentally friendly?
Yes it is. Sodium Bicarbonate is high in PH (8.4). Sodium Bicarbonate is non-toxic, non-hazardous and is 100% water soluble. If a coating will be applied after the soda blasting process, a special cleaning method must be performed.
