Using baking soda (potassium sulfate) as the blasting media, this process removes paint, surface contamination, and light corrosion without damaging the underlying material.
Because of its non-destructive nature and environmentally friendly properties, a professional soda blaster is commonly used for restoration, fire damage cleanup, and sensitive mechanical components.
Soda blasting is suitable for sensitive applications such as window seals, bearings, hydraulic rams, and mechanical components. It can remove paint and buildup around hydraulic rams and fittings without pitting or damaging the metal surface.
Paint is pulverized on contact rather than chipped or stripped in large fragments, leaving no visible paint chips behind and reducing cleanup effort.
Baking soda is safe for people, animals, and surrounding environments. Because it is water soluble, residual media can be rinsed away easily with water.
In many cases, soda residue can be safely washed into the sewer system, where it acts as a mild buffering agent rather than a contaminant.
Effectively removes paint, light surface rust, body fillers such as Bondo, and surface contaminants while preserving the substrate beneath.
Unlike traditional abrasive blasting, soda blasting leaves a light protective layer on metal surfaces, helping to prevent flash rust immediately after cleaning.
Soda blasting acts as a natural deodorizer, removing smoke residue and odours from wood, masonry, and other fire-damaged surfaces without the use of chemicals.
