What is Wet-Abrasive Blasting?
Abrasive media is immersed in water and sent to a nozzle where regulated compressed air is added to adjust the aggressiveness as it discharges over a surface. It is a cost-effective and environmentally safe surface cleaning and preparation method.

What results can I expect?
GEOBLASTER will remove the toughest coatings, yet can be adjusted to clean the most fragile surfaces, without embedment or damage. Whether removing corrosion on a battleship or removing graffiti from sandstone, the GEOBLASTER is extremely versatile.

What about the environmental impact?
There are many abrasives that are non-toxic and environmentally friendly and do not contain carcinogens, chemicals or chemical by-products, and after use, can be disposed of easily and properly.

How quickly does the GEOBLASTER clean?
After a short set-up time, precise and evenly textured finishes on virtually all surfaces are easily achieved at production rates rivaling sandblasting.

How costly is the GEOBLASTER to operate?
Because cleaning speeds are so quick, and abrasive consumption is minimal (50-200lbs/hr), operating costs are typically a fraction of that of conventional abrasive blasting. Little to no containment is required to protect adjacent buildings, equipment or the general public, saving considerable labor hours by minimizing set-up and clean-up procedures.

What is the difference compared to Dry Blasting?
The GEOBLASTER process eliminates more than 90% of the ambient dust, eliminates abrasive embedment in the substrate, and produces a more consistent finish. Abrasive consumption is 1/6th to 1/10th of the volume of traditional dry-blasting methods, which makes it not only the safest and greenest option, but the most economical as well!

What about Flash Rust?
In many cases simply by washing and air-drying the substrate, flash rust will be inhibited. Certain applications will require the use of organically based and environmentally friendly rust inhibitors that can be mixed directly with the water. When removing salts choose a low ph based surface passivator.
