Absolute Blast - Soda blasting - Sandblasting and Painting (One stop shop for all your requirements)

Soda Blasting

Sodablasting is a process in which sodium bicarbonate is applied against a surface using compressed air.  (The statue of Liberty was restored this way in the late 1980s).

Sodablasting is a non-destructive method for many applications in cleaning, paint stripping, automotive restoration, industrial equipment maintenance, rust removal, molecular steel passivation against rust, oil removal by saponification and translocation, masonry cleaning and restoration, soot remediation, boat hull cleaning and for food processing equipment.  Soda blasting is very effective also for mold, fire / smoke damage clean up and deodorizes.

A Sodablaster differs from a Sand Blaster in that the sodablaster is a direct pressure system, not gravity fed.  The blast media is directly forced out of the pressure vessel, not introduced into a stream of compressed air.

Abrasive Blasting
We do 3 types of sandblasting to class 3, Higher profile Blast required for coatings to specification, Class 2.5 which is most cost effective for general purpose media. It is typically used for gates, railings, bric-a-brac, steel fabrications, bikes, car parts and outdoor furniture (to name a few). We do a class 1 or a whip blast, this is similar to 100 grade sandpaper and most paints will cover it. This is used on delicate items or jobs which require a smoother finish. These include car panels, truck chassis, sheet metal as well as general blasting work.

Protective Coatings
We offer all industrial protective coatings using conventional or airless spray equipment. These include all epoxies, polyurethane’s, enamels, zinc’s, chlorinated rubbers, acrylics, micaceous iron oxides and heat resistant coatings. We follow all approved paint application procedures.

General Information
Due to the porous nature of metal, we advise you to collect and apply a good primer to stop rust re-occurring as soon as notified of job completion. Rust can return within hours. We do however provide a priming service to customers.

All goods must be cleaned of oil & grease before delivery or we can offer a separate chemical wash & steam clean, degrease items prior to blasting at an additional cost.

A storage fee may apply to some goods not collected within 1 week of completion.
