Soda blasting strips metals before recoating
Mechanical cleaning and sandblasting of steel structures can disturb surface molecules, conceal stress corrosion, even leave activated anode or cathode
Mechanical cleaning and sandblasting of steel structures can disturb surface molecules, conceal stress corrosion, even leave activated anode or cathode steel molecules that can cause rust to redevelop. SodaBlast machines remove old paint, corrosion and rust from surfaces using safe, environmentally friendly sodium bicarbonate—ordinary baking soda—that does not harm sensitive substrates and that simply washes away. Soda ingredient contains treated free-flowing additive (TFF) and tri-calcium phosphate (TCP) that effectively strip metals without damaging structural surfaces, eliminate electrolytes such as acid and chlorides, and prevent further corrosion.
