Marine   Building   Car Restoration   Public Works   Graffiti Removal   Fire and Flood   Machinery   Food Industry

Marine

Removes layers of old paint in 1/10th of the time of traditional methods   Removes bilge oil film, old paint and exposes blisters   Does not penetrate the protective gel coat   Ensures hull retains ‘no drag’ due to multiple layers of paint being removed   Environmentally kind using little or no water

Building

Is the perfect preparation prior to rendering old walls   Is pretty much the only way to remove paint and dirt from sandstone. See pictures for examples   Will remove paint, oil, grease, graffiti and other contaminants from most surfaces   Is water soluble and kind to the environment   Is mobile and can access hard to reach places   Requires virtually no preparation or clean up

When preparing walls for painting or rendering Sodablast is the ideal solution. It quickly removes all paint and contaminates from the mortar and in the grain of the bricks, leaving the surface looking brand new. Preparation is minimal and there is virtually no clean up besides a quick rinse.

Car Restoration

Sodablast Qualities for the Car Restorer:

Strip or prepare painted surfaces without affecting substrate   Minimal masking – no damage to glass or rubber   Blast metal surfaces - No Warping   Degrease parts - No Solvents   Removes carbon deposits - No Pitting   Clean or de-paint soft & hard metals - No Abrasive Entrapment   Re-work aluminum precision parts   Composite parts - No Sanding   Re-work engine components, heads, alternators, starters, water pumps etc   Re-work aluminium wheels and covers

Public Works

Removes graffiti quickly and efficiently   Removes rust, staining, paint, exhaust fumes pollution and more from most surfaces   Does NOT cause damage to the original surface   Restores sandstone & marble monuments effortlessly   Water soluble and kind to the environment   Generally uses no water during the blast process. See FAQs for more details   Cost effective with minimal or no preparation or clean up required

Graffiti Removal

Removes graffiti quickly and efficiently   No water or chemicals required   Prevents reoccurrence when removed quickly   Can be used on concrete, brick, metal, glass, aluminium, PVC, wood & more   Is water soluble and has NO impact on the environment   Is cost effective and requires little or no preparation time or clean up

Fire and Flood

The last thing you want in a mould cleanup is water, hence Sodablast is perfect!   Perfect for internal clean up as no water is used   Soda is a natural deodoriser that helps eliminate odours   Can reach hard to access places easily   Is quick and removes contaminants completely   Will not damage metal, glass, timber, PVC or other relatively hard surfaces   Is cost effective due to the speed of clean-up

Machinery

Strips paint around welding for crack test inspection without changing surface   Removes dirt, oil, grease, process residue and paint   Will not harm bearings, packing’s, seals, gaskets, metals, galvanise or glass   Will not cause sparks when striking any surface   Requires minimal preparation, containment and clean up   Is fast, efficient and cost saving   Will access hard to reach places and is mobile

Food Industry

In depth cleaning using baking soda that is soluble in water   Significantly reduces production down time   Easily reaches ‘hard to access places’   Will not harm machinery or surfaces   Removes oil, grease and food remnants
