How Soda Blast Works
Soda blasting using Sodium Bicarbonate [baking Soda] is an environmentally friendly method of removing surface contaminants and coatings from automotive parts. As the sodium bicarbonate particles come in contact with the surface, it removes the contaminant or coating. The sodium bicarbonate process is a safe nondestructive system of cleaning and ideal for automotive restoration.
Benefits of using Bicarbonate of Soda cleaning
Sodium bicarbonate is an environmentally friendly, water soluble organic material that will remove contaminants and coatings from automotive components efficiently without damaging delicate parts.
Because Bicarbonate of Soda is relatively soft, 2.5 on Mohs hardness scale, it is an ideal media for many parts involved with the restoration of automotive components.
We carry out test cleaning prior to the process to ensure no damage will be caused and that the material is suitable for the process to make sure bicarbonate of soda blast cleaning is the appropriate media for the application.
Bicarbonate of Soda Composition
Granular sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) has been specially formulated for blast cleaning process. Each formulation consists of sodium bicarbonate particles, which are uniform in size to enable consistent flow characteristics to ensure accurate, efficient and productive clean results.
