SodaBlast Systems Mobile Units Provide Marinas & Boatyards With Eco-Friendly Hull Cleaning Services
HOUSTON, TEXAS (USA) - SodaBlast Systems unique mobile units make it convenient to provide eco-friendly boat hull cleaning services to marinas and boatyards stepping up their efforts to minimize the impact of their operations on the environment. .
Eco-friendly SodaBlasting uses a special formulation of non-toxic sodium bicarbonate - baking soda - to remove paint and marine growth from boat bottoms without harming the gelcoat.In the SodaBlasting process, a non-destructive stream of air-driven, specially formulated baking soda under high pressure is first used to strip the antifoulant paint and open the blister. Then, to prepare the surface for repair and repainting, the affected area around the blister is feathered by split-second, swirled "micro-blasting”. This finishes the surface in preparation for repair. The entire process can be accomplished in 1/10 the time as traditional techniques, resulting in a properly prepared surface that is ready for blister repair and painting.
Easy to use and maintain SodaBlast Systems mobile units provide up to four hours of continuous blast time. A trailer-mounted system (pictured) includes a heavy-duty air compressor. A skid-mounted unit, which will fit in the back of a pickup truck, can be used with a portable air compressor. Both systems feature a heavy-duty moisture separator to keep soda dry and the equipment running smoothly.
