Soda blasting

Sodium bicarbonate particles are driven by compressed air through the equipment and, on hitting the surface, produce an almost immediate cleaning. The process is done in a single pass and generates no contaminants.

Cleaning without damaging the substrate
• The softness of the bicarbonate crystals cleans without attacking the material: it keeps surfaces such as aluminum, stainless steel, brick, stone, marble, fiberglass, seals and plastic in perfect condition.
• On very fragile surfaces, such as glass, it achieves optimal cleaning with no etching effect.

No prior preparation or abrasive recovery
• It requires no prior surface preparation or degreasing: the alkaline nature of bicarbonate also acts on greases and oils.
• The system does not recover the abrasive: each particle works only once, ensuring a consistently uniform result.
• Bicarbonate dissolves easily in fresh water and can be discharged into treatment systems or open water without contaminating, even reducing odors

As a light abrasive, sodium bicarbonate combines cleaning effectiveness with an environmental and safety profile that is hard to match. Its main advantages:

• Does not damage the Surface: it removes paint, grease or coatings in a single operation without breaking the metal substrate.
• Non-toxic and non-irritant: not by inhalation, contact or ingestion, and it does not irritate eyes or skin (non-toxic per OSHA parameters).
• Replaces chemicals: through its action on oils and greases, it avoids the use of many conventional cleaning chemicals.
• Spark-free: suitable for sensitive environments such as refineries, chemical plants and grain elevators.
• Eco-friendly: biodegradable, water-soluble, non-flammable and with no fume emission.
• Practical: used with cold or hot pressurized water, and it uses standard, readily available compressed-air spare parts.

Thanks to its damage-free cleaning and non-toxic profile, soda blasting is used across very diverse sectors:

• Automotive: strips paint from cars and motorcycles and cleans engines without damaging their delicate components; ideal for body shops, machine shops and restoration, removing grease, oil and sediment without affecting parts.
• Monument restoration: professional cleaning without causing damage; removes mold, pigmentation, stains and paint from marble, concrete, stone and granite.
• Food industry: cleaning of ovens, grills and equipment; since bicarbonate is a food product, it poses no contamination risk.
• Construction: removes grease, grime and paint from walls and ceilings, avoiding chemicals, quickly and eco-friendly.
• Sensitive environments: suitable for refineries, chemical plants and grain elevators, because it produces no sparks.
