A Concise Description Of The Sponge Blasting Method

By Misty Tyler


When there is a need to remove unwanted paint, dirt or other substances from various surfaces, the best option to check is sponge media. When Ohio companies need to find reliable ways to clean and prepare surfaces for any purpose, the sponge blasting method is the best options for several reasons. The product consists of a type of polyurethane with a water base. The substance is impregnated with various grades of abrasives. The sponge media is sprayed on the specific surface. Upon impact with the paint or other substance, the cells flatten out and expose the abrasive materials. The structure of the polyurethane cells causes them to constrict and this action pulls the paint or other materials away from the surface. The material is then captured and reused. It never goes into the air.

Even when there are multiple layers of unwanted paint, dirt or other substances, they can be removed safely, without harm to the surface below. Various categories of the cleaning product are available, depending upon the type of material. The safety of the method lies in the fact that it is almost dustless.

Because of the design of the media and the abrasives, there won't be damage to the underlying surfaces. At the most gentle level, the product has very minimal abrasives included, so that the process won't hurt even delicate surfaces. No dust is released and the cleaning process doesn't incorporate water, so that it is suitable for indoor, as well as outdoor use. This makes the process suitable even for restoration of historic homes.

The most powerful type of sponge media is imbued with steel grit as the abrasive material. It will strip tough coatings and is also suitable to remove layers of rust. It works well to remove various industrial strength coating such as those which line rail cars or petrochemical storage tanks.

Also very effective for industrial type coatings is the sponge media which contains aluminum oxide as an abrasive. It cleans surfaces in the offshore drilling, marine manufacturing, military and petrochemical industries. It can also be used to take care of pulp and paper industry equipment. The underlying surface is unaffected.

When there are sensitive surfaces under the tough coatings, an abrasive consisting of plastic chips is helpful. This media type will remove graffiti and other coatings from surfaces such as fiberglass, tile, composites and other exotic surfaces.

The mildest type of abrasive is helpful when there is a need to remove grease or oil from costly or delicate equipment. It also works to get rid of dirt from soot and smoke from concrete or brick. The cleaning process allows areas that are difficult to reach by hand cleaning methods to receive the cleaning techniques.

The advantages of using this method are several. There is no dust with potentially harmful contaminants becoming airborne. The cleaning process allows for capturing and reusing the media product. Because there is no dust blowing around or water spray, there is very little debris left to clean up after the process is completed.
