Advanced Document SearchAsset Management, the need for corrosion mitigation or facility and equipment cleaning – are under constant constraint – because of:
The inability to shut down or disrupt production has led many facilities to forego projects, placing incalculable stress on assets. To achieve the benefits offered by advanced coatings better surface preparation is required. Sponge Media blasting allows for properly cleaned or prepared surfaces with minimal labor disruption or unnecessary shutdown.

Commercial coatings specialists involved in deleading and are yearning for larger contracts might find themselves looking to become more highly certified. Increasingly, large public and private entities (including oil companies, departments of transportation, and public utilities) insist contract bidders possess additional certifications from organizations such as SSPC (The Society for Protective Coatings). SSPC certifies both companies and individuals, verifying contractor organizations with defined knowledge and procedures.
Read More >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.
