Soda Blasting

Baking Soda Blasting by SPC

Baking soda blasting is a highly effective process for removing all contaminants from the surface of a substrate without causing damage. Sharretts Plating Company now offers soda blasting as part of our comprehensive offering of metal finishing and plating services. Call on SPC for soda blasting of your gear boxes, wheels, brakes, aluminum parts and more.

The Soda Blasting Process

Soda blasting involves the use of specialized equipment that utilizes compressed air to deliver baking soda onto the surface. The combination of highly pressurized air and the cleansing capabilities of the baking soda make for a powerful yet gentle cleaning process that really works.

The Safe Contaminant-Removing Alternative

Soda blasting provides you with essentially the same results as sand blasting, but without the latter's abrasiveness that often results in unwanted scratching on the surface of the substrate. Soda blasting also avoids the need to use harsh chemicals to remove stubborn materials, which makes it a more suitable option for any company committed to using metal finishing services that won't harm the environment. The process is safe to use on materials containing glass, rubber, polished stainless steel and chrome.

Effective Removal for All Types of Materials

Baking soda blasting from SPC can remove some of the most troublesome materials from surfaces with ease. We can remove corrosion, greases, gasket materials, oils and paint from metals, alloys and even plastics. An additional benefit of soda blasting is that it removes these substances while leaving hard anodized coatings completely intact.

Common Soda Blasting Applications

Just a few of the most common industrial baking soda blasting applications include:

• Cleaning and descaling aircraft engine and landing gear components
• Metal stripping (does not generate heat that can lead to warping)
• Removing paint, undercoating and seam sealers on autos
• Removing bottom paint from watercraft
• Removing paint and coats from carbon fiber products
• Cleaning industrial equipment such as pumps, machines, motors, conveyor belts and hydraulic shafts
