Advanced Document SearchSubjected to the most rigorous environments, military equipment is expected to operate at top performance at all times. Corrosion prevention is a priority to maintain equipment; naval vessels, aircraft, vehicles, heavy equipment and armament. Sponge Media™ blasting can prepare most surfaces, including:
Selectively strip coatings, remove contaminants and hazardous materials from substrates without generating the excessive dust environments or ricochet damage normally encountered when rehabilitating assets. Sponge-Jet prepared surfaces optimize coating life and asset readiness.
Newport News Shipbuilding used Sponge Media™ abrasives during a maintenance overhaul to conduct bilge space repair on the Nimitz class Super Carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70); the choice was made based on the technology’s ability to protect adjacent coatings from abrasive ricochet, which is known to cause pinhole corrosion.
Sponge-Jet wins out over ordinary abrasives on the exterior overhaul of Australian Navy barges; cost of dust (abrasive cleaning/collection labor, inability to work nearby blasting and inability to reuse abrasives) all cut by Sponge-Jet - savings calculated to $120,000 per barge.
Aggressive grades of Silver Sponge Media™ abrasives make easy work of removing chemical agent resistant coatings like those used on the surface of this Middle East Army vehicle.
Thai navy turns to Sponge-Jet to remove non-skid coating from perimeter deck of aircraft carrier; the process achieved specified Near White Metal Blast Cleaning Sa2.5 (NACE 2 / SSPC SP-10).
Blasting gun turret on US Navy ship; chose Sponge-Jet to limit grit intrusion of the rotating parts (e.g. bearings and seals)
NAVSEA directive turns to Sponge-Jet to obtain 15-20 year lifespan on new coating systems in the bilge tank of this USN LHD 6 amphibious assault ship; With greatly enhanced visibility and low rebound, blasters are able to strictly adhere to the specified Sa3 (NACE 1 / SSPC SP-5) White Metal Blast Cleaning finish.
Sponge-Jet abrasives are used for restoring pressure hull and outer shell mounts (removing tile adhesive and corrosion); Canadian Department of National Defense and NAVSEA have approved the use of Sponge-Jet as a replacement for ordinary abrasives.
Military restoration contractor blasts hummer with Sponge-Jet; Silver 80 Sponge media™ abrasive removes coating and imparts 65 micron (2.5mil) profile.
Selective coating removal, carefully exposes chromate primer on aircraft; Sponge-Jet was the perfect solution to selectively strip and expose harmful hexavalent chromium-based primer because it’s controlled abrasion and extreme dust-suppressing properties.

Both Freshwater and Saltwater vessels see all sorts of contaminants and corrosion throughout their service life. Corrosion can threaten everything on ships, from power gen and water storage tanks, to their general structural integrity. In order to overcome these threats, proper surface preparation is key.
Per saperne di più >Pipelines are crucial for transporting clean water from treatment plants to cities, businesses, and homes. By maintaining a closed piping system from the source to the faucet, water utilities reduce the risk of water contamination. During the manufacturing of these pipes, proper surface prep must be completed to ensure that they maintain their integrity after coating and installation.
