Soda is the Best Choice

Back in 1972, 2hen New York State Engineers were looking for ways to clean the Statue Of Liberty, they had many concerns involving issues of the environment, waste disposal and protection of the statues surface itself. Any use of any abrasive material to clean the surface would have been very harmful to the soft copper plates, let alone the waste in the water surrounding the statue.

Sodablast was invented because it would not only do the job while having a negligible impact on the waterways and harbour, but it was also non-abrasive.

Just like the surface of the Statue of Liberty, this non abrasive action allows SodaBlasters to be used on surfaces that current popular abrasive media would damage. i.e.: aluminium, stainless steel, brick, stone, glass, fibreglass, wood, some plastics, seals, bearings, splines, radiator cores, transmission, cases and hydraulic cylinders. In some cases, using Soda Blasting dry, shutdown of electric motors and pumps is not necessary.

Sodablast better than sand and grit blasting?

Sodablast particles remove contaminants by the energy released when the particles 'explode' as they come in contact with the surface to be cleaned. his results in no damage to underlying substrates. By contrast, sand and grit blasting does.
