What is Bicarbonate Soda Blasting?
24 09 2007Soda Blasting is the newest technology available that safely strips paint and cleans nearly any type of surface. Before sodablasting, the best way to remove paint and other types of coverings from a surface was to sand blast it, sand it, scrap it, or use environmentally harmful chemicals.
Similar to sandblasting, soda blasting uses pressurized air to blast bicarbonate soda (a.k.a baking soda) on the surface removing various containments such as paints, rust, grease, oils, and corrosion. The benefit to soda blasting is that it does not harm the surface in any way. You can soda blast plastics, fiberglass, composites, and even aluminum without harming it. Plus bicarbonate soda also know as baking soda is environmentally safe and will not harm the environment at all!
