Benefits Of Process - In a 'nut shell' (one of the materials we use), here's some benefits of Eco Blasting vs Conventional Sand Blasting.

• Environmentally Sensible
• Non-Hazardous to Workers
• Non-Toxic Media
• Water Soluble Media
• Low Blasting Pressure
• Does Not Generate Explosive Dust
• Does Not Pose A Threat Of Silicosis

Ecological
In years past, rust and paint were literally 'blasted' off the steel by using sand, propelled by air at high pressure. Over the years it was discovered that many of the people who worked in that industry had become afflicted with a disease known as Silicosis. This disease is similar to Black Lung Disease, but is caused by inhalation of silica ( a component of sand ). This disease is frequently fatal. Sand, as a blasting medium, is actually banned in some states and all packaging now warns purchasers not to use the product for sand blasting.

Unique Cutting Action
There are multiple media types offering a variety of applications. Some surfaces are hard such as concrete or steel, some are soft such as wood. Others are in the middle such as a fiberglass hull. Unlike sand where one grain fits all, eco-blasting allows us to choose what medium will have the least amount of degradation of the surface skin while providing the most refinishing benefit. A fine example of this would be the use of sodium bicorbonate. The softness (Mohs Hardness = 2.4) and friable nature of this crystal produces a unique cutting action with little or no effort on most substrates. For example, thick coatings can be removed from glass without any etching effect on the glass itself. With proper care, delicate substrates can be cleaned without damage.
