What is Soda Blasting?

Soda Blasting is a revolutionary process; in which, Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) is used to clean or de-paint any surface. Soda blasting is similar to sand blasting, yet has the significant advantage of removing surface coatings without causing harm to the substrate or environment. Simply put, soda blasting will not damage surfaces being blasted such as: thin metal panels, aluminum, stainless, fiberglass, glass, plastic, wood, stone, concrete, brick, and countless other surfaces.



Soda Blast Process

Soda blasting uses specially designed blast pots and compressed air to propel the sodium bicarbonate onto the surface that is being blasted. As the soda comes in contact with the contaminant on the surface, the sodium bicarbonate particles explode. The energy released by the tiny explosions disrupts the contaminated surface leaving the substrate unaffected. This means no warping, bending, pitting, or scaring of the metal substrates.

There is no need to pre-wash or mask the surface, cutting the time and cost by 1/3 from other conventional methods of paint removal. In ideal blasting conditions the sodium bicarbonate acts as a rust inhibitor, allowing time to pass before the surface must be painted, unlike sand blasting where the surface must immediately be painted. When it is time to paint, simply rinse the sodium bicarbonate off with soap and water. Soda blasting eliminates the use of toxic chemicals, destructive abrasives, and the risks involved in chemical dipping, making the end results unbeatable.
