Sponge Jet Blasting

Clean Harbors Industrial Services commonly employs Sponge Jet Blasting.  This low dust application, which encapsulates airborne contaminants, is clean, safe and is designed to protect the most delicate to the most durable surfaces.

Uses for Sponge Jet Technology

• Removes paint and graffiti from brick and other concrete surfaces
• Works as a surface preparation for steel surfaces prior to coating – can achieve white metal finish
• Ideal for post fire restoration for removal of soot stains from steel, concrete and wood surfaces
• Removes lead paint
• Decontaminates black oil contaminated surfaces
• Removes hardened deposits from boiler tube walls

Benefits of Sponge Jet Technology

• Allows blasting controllability by varying blast pressure and media to protect the existing surface
• Generates low airborne dust; limited isolation measures are required
• Affords reuse of aggregate (can be recycled up to nine times in some cases)
• Minimizes disposal and aggregate costs
• Poses less risk to workers than other surface preparation techniques
