Sponge Media™

Sponge-Jet has engineered a line of composite abrasives, incorporating the best abrasives or micro-abrasive particles within high-performance synthetic sponge. The diverse range of recyclable composites provide superior results for aggressive profiling and abrading or delicate cleaning on highly sensitive substrates. The synthetic sponge captures up to 95% of the contaminants, reducing fugitive emissions through its MicroContainment™ feature.

Silver 30 Sponge Media™

This is the most commonly used Sponge Media for industrial coating removal and surface preparation. Silver 30 Sponge Media is ideal when a coarse angular profile is specified for the coating that is to be applied.

Sponge impregnated with 30-grit Aluminum Oxide to aggressively abrade and profile metals, concrete and other materials.
