Contractors & Coating Professionals Applications

  • Coating preparation on steel super-structure at Dos Bocas Marine Terminal (Mexico)

    Coating preparation on steel super-structure at Dos Bocas Marine Terminal (Mexico); the contractor was tasked to remove corrosion and repaint beams while controlling fugitive emissions during blasting - and without interrupting multiple trades or causing seaside contamination. Specifications called for 65micron (2.5 mil) profile with a Near White Metal Blast Cleaning - Sa2.5 (NACE 2 / SSPC SP-10).

  • Tank Coating Removal in Cerrejón Coal Mine; World’s Largest Open-pit Coal Mine

    Sponge-Jet chosen was over ordinary abrasives and slurry blasting to remove failed coatings on this tank-top because dust migration to surrounding worker and surrounding tanks were unacceptable.

  • Taiwanese Plastics Manufacturer Uses Sponge-Jet to Better Realize Life of Tanks

    Taiwanese plastics manufacturer; after premature coating failure on compressed air tanks, the maintenance department relied on the contractor and Sponge-Jet surface preparation with the goal to provide an Sa3 (SSPC SP-5 / NACE 1), White Metal Blast Cleaning finish and match the designed life of the steel tanks.

  • When Productivity was Paramount, Shipyard Adds Sponge Blasters

    With productivity paramount this shipyard added Sponge Blasters; there was no concern about dust and visibility during because Sponge-Jet suppresses dust at the source of generation.

  • A Guide to Removing Rubberized and Polyurea Coatings

    Typically applied thick, polyurea and rubber coatings are notoriously hard to remove. Regular abrasive blasting methods are rarely effective in removing these coatings. Abrasives like garnet and coal slag bounce off these surfaces causing them to heat and become gum-like with little removal. This burned residue should not be coated over and would normally require further surface preparation. To avoid these issues, specifiers, contractors and facility owners have three options for polyurea and rubber coating removal.

  • How to Blast Plasma Cut or Flame Hardened Steel

    Surface cleanliness and profile are the cornerstones of proper surface preparation, but those standards are not always met. Frequently, metal fabrication projects suffer from bad surface prep. When steel is cut with flame or plasma, the edges that have been cut become harder than the middle part of the steel. This creates challenges for those trying to follow coatings application best practices.
