Soda Blasting is an alternative to what has been used for years as we know of as sandblasting.

Soda Blasting is a process where sodium bicarbonate is applied against a surface using compressed air. An early use was to restore the Statue of Liberty in the late 1980.

Soda blasting is a non-destructive method for many applications in cleaning, paint stripping, automotive restoration, industrial equipment maintenance, rust removal, graffiti removal, molecular steel assignation against rust, oil removal by specification and translocation, masonry cleaning and restoration, soot remediation, boat hull cleaning, food processing facilities and equipment.

Applications

It can be used for cleaning cars, boat hulls, masonry, and food processing equipment. Soda blasting can also be used to remove graffiti and to clean structural steel. Soda blasting is very effective for mold and fire/smoke damage cleanup as it cleans and deodorizes.

One paint manufacturer recommends against using their automotive epoxy primer over soda blasted substrates. A refinish specialist from a major vehicle manufacturer does not recommend soda blasting prior to automotive refinishing.

Tools

A Soda blaster is a self contained system that includes a blast generator, high pressure compressed air, moisture decontamination system, blast hose, and a blast nozzle. The blast nozzle in soda blasting applications is not a typical wear part, as a result nozzles can be ceramic or metal, such as tungsten carbide.

The blasting material consists of formulated sodium bicarbonate (also known as baking soda). Blasting soda is an extremely friable material that has micro fragmentation on impact, literally exploding away surface materials without damage to the substrate.

A Soda blaster differs from a sandblaster in that the Soda blaster is not gravity-fed, meaning it will not come out of the bottom of the pressure vessel.[citation needed] Soda blaster are direct pressure systems, not siphon/gravity fed.

NASB was founded and started by William Harrison of Eco-Friendly Soda Blasting Inc. From Alberta Canada in October of 2010. William Harrison bought this technology into Alberta and Sask after trying to find a method of removing graffiti in the winter months, when methods of liquids used would fail due to freezing.

Eco-Friendly Soda Blasting Inc.,  has maintained the number #1 Soda Blasting company on Google for years and is the foremost authority on blasting with ECO friendly media in the industry.
