Soda Blasting - What is Sodablasting?

Soda Blasting revolutionises traditional abrasive cleaning / stripping and eliminates the need for toxic chemicals. It’s safe, eco-friendly, and doesn’t damage the underlying material being cleaned.

Soda blasting strips and cleans by propelling a bicarbonate-of-soda media (via compressed air) onto the area to be cleaned. This process removes paint and contaminate without harming the underlying surface. Blast material is specially formulated sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), called Natrium soda, a non-toxic, non-hazardous food-grade material that is 100% water-soluble and environmentally friendly.

How does it work? Soda blast particles remove surface contaminate by the energy released as the particles explode when pressure-driven into contact with a surface. The resulting release of energy disrupts the contaminate surface leaving the substrate completely unaffected.

Why is it better than other abrasive blasting techniques? Unlike soda blasting, alternatives such as sand blasting are very damaging to the substrate surface and can cause it to bend or warp (known as oil-canning). Other more manual stripping techniques require scrapers, sanders or grinders to remove paint from the surface and can take days to prepare, strip and clean. The non-destructive abrasive characteristic of soda blasting allows projects like vehicles to be completely stripped in as little as 3 to 4 hours. Another benefit of the baking soda media is the elimination of odours, which can be an advantage in food processing and other industries.

What equipment is involved? The patented BUSTER BLASTER 100 MOBILE SODA BLAST UNIT is specially designed to administer the correct flow and pressure for optimum soda blasting results. This award winning design provides a ‘turn-key’ business opportunity – see our Equipment page for more information.

What can it be used for?
Clean and strip paint and other contaminate from almost any surface including:

• Metal, glass, rubber, chrome or aluminum vehicle trim
• Fibreglass or composite parts and panels
• Wood and masonry
• Aluminium and stainless steel

Clean, de-grease and strip:

• Cars, trucks, trailers
• Containers, heavy equipment
• Engine components
• Fibreglass and wooden boats

Also:

• Mould Remediation and Fire Restoration.
• Graffiti removal
• Surface rust removal
• Stain elimination
• Monument cleaning

Soda blasting is also ideal for cleaning all types of delicate equipment and surfaces, eliminating sanding, soaking, scrubbing and destructive abrasive blasting. It will not damage automotive sheet metal, glass, chrome or rubber parts and no flash rust problems!
