Soda blasting is a method of removing surface contaminants and coatings by using sodium bicarbonate {baking soda}.
This is a surface preparation technique that is an environmentally friendly replacement to conventional blasting or chemical stripping.
This technique is often the preferred method of cleaning.
The softness and friable nature {2.5 Mohs'Hardness Scale} of baking soda produces a unique cutting action with little or no effect on most substrates.
Compressed air from a specialized blasting machine propels particles against the surface to be cleaned.
Sodium bicarbinate particles remove contaminants by the energy released when the particles explode as they come in contact with the surface.
Effectively de-coats and cleans the substrate in one step.
