Sponge Jet Media Blasting
A Different Approach to Blasting
Sponge media blasting uses abrasive particles encapsulated in sponge material to clean and prepare surfaces. As the media impacts the surface, it flattens to expose the abrasive, then expands to capture dust and contaminants.
This process reduces airborne dust and allows for greater control compared to ordinary abrasive blasting methods.
How It Works
1. Impact
The sponge media strikes the surface and exposes the abrasive.
2. Clean
The abrasive removes coatings, rust, or contaminants from the surface.
3. Capture
The sponge rebounds and traps dust, debris, and contaminants.
