Superior Preparation — Increases Coating Life
According to the NACE International 75% of coating failures are the result of improper surface preparation. Sponge Blasting allows professionals to achieve optimum surface preparation, increase adhesion and extend coating life.
The dry, low dust, no ricochet characteristics of Sponge Media provides the freedom to specify a perfect white metal blast in all areas where:
- Power tools are required
- Electrical or rotating equipment is present
- Adjacent surfaces can be damaged from ricochet
- Visibility during blasting is desired
Testimonials
"Sponge Jet enabled us to acquire a blasting permit from the state of TX and locally, in an area we otherwise would have been unable to get one. By being able to blast on site we are able to better control our production and are seeing quicker turn around through the paint shop. The low dust and ability to recycle the media has made this a good solution for us." - Brian Henslee, TESMEC S.p.A

What is Nuclear Decommissioning?
Nuclear decommissioning is the process of permanently shutting down the operations of a nuclear power plant. This process must be done safely, and is strictly regulated by government agencies. For example, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is the U.S. agency responsible for making and enforcing the rules, regulations, and procedures that govern nuclear power plant decommissioning. In the United Kingdom, it is the Office of Nuclear Regulation that oversees, regulates and monitors nuclear decommissioning.
