'Soda blasting in action'
.
|
In the past, the only way you could really clean, remove paint or some other unsightly material from the hull of your boat was to either chip it off, sand blast it, use harsh chemicals, or hand sand it until your arm fell off or your equipment failed. Now, there's Eco-friendly Soda Blasting...
With Soda Blasting, any surface can be cleaned or coatings of any kind can also be stripped from a substrate both efficiently and safely. It is very similar to traditional sand blasting yet has the significant advantage of cleaning the surface without causing any harm to the substrate or the environment
Eco-friendly SodaBlasting uses a special formulation of non-toxic sodium bicarbonate - baking soda - to remove paint and marine growth from boat bottoms without harming the gelcoat.

In the SodaBlasting process, a non-destructive stream of air-driven, specially formulated baking soda under high pressure is first used to strip the antifoulant paint and open the blister. Then, to prepare the surface for repair and repainting, the affected area around the blister is feathered by split-second, swirled 'micro-blasting'. This finishes the surface in preparation for repair. The entire process can be accomplished in 1/10 the time as traditional techniques, resulting in a properly prepared surface that is ready for blister repair and painting.
The SodaBlasting hull cleaning service is available from a network of company-trained, Preferred SodaBlasting Contractors worldwide. They are found in the United Kingdom, Spain, Poland, USA, Canada, Australia and Chile.
