Architectural sandblasting for new concrete surfaces that need a clean looking appearance, or when the new look is desired on older structures. This form of sandblasting can be used to expose the aggregate in brick, pebble, or rock projects. It can also be used in wood projects when fire or smoke damage has stained the wood. Ceiling wood beams may also need sandblasting to restore the original col
or. Benefits:
◾Approved to be environmentally safe.
◾Faster cutting due to its durability and sharp angular edges.
◾Leaves surfaces clean. Applications:
◾Concrete
◾Wood
◾Brick
◾Metal
SODA BLASTING
Description:
Sodablasting is a non-destructive Eco-Friendly method for many applications in abrasive cleaning such as paint stripping, graffiti removal restoration, Fire and smoke remediation, industrial equipment maintenance, rust removal, oil removal, masonry cleaning, soot remediation, boat hull cleaning, food processing facilities, equipment and so much more. Benefits:
◾Easy clean-up: washes off with water.
◾Environmentally friendly: no harmful chemicals or dust (non-toxic).
◾Neutralizes fire and smoke odor.
◾Versatile: works on aluminum, steel, fiberglass, and more. Common Applications:
◾Fire and Smoke Damage Remediation
◾Graffiti Removal
◾Historical Preservation
◾Mold Remediation
◾Cleaning Monuments / Statues
◾Unique Cases
DRY ICE BLASTING
Description:
Blasting with Dry Ice is clean and safe. Dry ice blasting (also known as dry ice cleaning, dry ice blast cleaning, and dry ice dusting) is similar to sand blasting or soda blasting where a medium is accelerated in a pressurized air stream to impact a surface to be cleaned or prepared. Dry ice cleaning uses soft dry ice pellets, accelerated at supersonic speeds to lift the undesirable item off the underlying substrate. Video:
Benefits:
◾No blasting media to clean-up.
◾Kills organic contaminants by temperature shock.
◾Is non-abrasive, nonflammable and nonconductive.
◾Environmentally-friendly: contains no secondary contaminants such as solvents.
◾Clean and approved for use in the food industry.
◾Allows most items to be cleaned in place without time-consuming disassembly. Applications:
◾Mold remediation in mold affected attics, floor joists, basements and crawl spaces.
◾Removes smoke from framing and plywood.
◾Cleans brick and masonry. Corn Cob Blasting Mediacorn cob blasting media
Description:
Corn Cob is very effective for blasting wood, aluminum, fiberglass, buildings, boats, and excellent for log cabin restoration. Corn cob blasting is accomplished with the same equipment as used for sand blasting. Because corn cob blasting grit is considerably less aggressive than sand, it is often categorized as a “soft abrasive” and does not etch glass or foul bearings and is frequently used to clean electric motors and machinery with hydraulic cylinders. Benefits:
◾Non-toxic blast cleanin media causes no health or environmental hazards.
◾Dust-free corn cob.
◾Biodegradable.
◾Preserves micro finishes. Applications:
◾Cleaning of motors, generators, and heavy equipment.
◾Cleaning of insulators and transformers.
◾Removal of manufacturing soils from the ceiling of industrial facilities.
◾Cleaning of pipes and pumps in processing plants.
◾Cleaning and paint preparation of buildings.
◾Cleaning of timbers in log homes prior to sealing.
◾Cleaning of boat hulls. Walnut Shell
Description:
Blasting with walnut shell is particularly effective where the surface of the substrate under its coat of paint, dirt, grease, scale, carbon, etc. should remain unchanged or otherwise unimpaired. Benefits:
◾Cleans without leaving scratches or pitting.
◾Non-toxic, natural and biodegradable, causes no health or environmental hazards.
◾Long-lasting & re-usable.
◾Reduces cycle time of finishing operations.
◾Preserves micro finishes.
◾Non-corrosive. Applications:
◾Walnut Shell Blasting for paint stripping & coatings removal.
◾Effective on boats, buildings, bridges, outdoor statuaries, cars, graffiti removal.
◾Blast cleaning for aircraft engine cleanout & steam turbines. Shot Blasting/Surface Preparation:
Applications:
Shotblasting, also known as bead blasting, is a method of surface preparation often recommended by coating manufacturers to remove mastics, epoxy, sealers and more. This method along with some scraping and grinding, produces excellent bonding characteristics that promote reduced coating failure and maximum floor life
