Boat cleaning and antifoul removal

Boat cleaning is generally not a job you look forward to, but dry-docking a boat for routine hull cleaning is a job that has to be done to ensure the optimum operation and lifespan of your boat. Soda blasting has the unique benefit of being equally effective at cleaning both wood and fibreglass boats, without damaging either. Additionally it means a faster strip back for easier antifoul removal and surface contaminant clean up.

This can substantially speed up the job because there’s no more painstaking scrapping and sanding. Soda blasting can take care of your boat cleaning and antifoul removal whether your boat is wood, fibreglass, aluminium, ferro or steel.

On fibreglass boat hulls it’s difficult using traditional methods to strip back just the antifoul without damaging the epoxy barrier coat. Soda blasting with the specliased media used in the Buster Blaster, namely Natrium soda, ensures that any barrier coat, and the substrate material are left completely intact. This is possible only with the use of baking soda blast media. The Natrium soda 260 blast media provides the fastest, least dusty and least damaging clean available.

With correct procedures in place, using soda blasting for boat cleaning is not only a lot faster than traditional methods, it also means clean up is simple and ensures minimal solid waste. This in turn means lower waste disposal costs and a more eco-friendly process.

Even if it’s not time for antifoul removal, there’s considerable period maintenance and boat cleaning to be taken care of on an ongoing basis. For general cleaning, of decks and large cabin (??) exteriors, optimum results can be achieved through using reduced pressure to clean without stripping and without risking driving surface contaminants into the substrate.

Whether you need an effective boat cleaning solution or you want to ensure fast, efficient antifoul removal, the Buster Blaster and soda blasting technology will help get your boat back on the water faster, cleaner and safer.
