Eco Media Blasting

Description

In New York State, engineers were looking for a way to clean the Statute of Liberty and had concerns about doing this with little or no affect on the environment, and for protecting the soft copper plates that make up the exterior of the Statute, so after experimenting with and modifying a sand-blaster, we now have what is now called a Soda Blaster. In the passed, the only way you could restore an unsightly or contaminated surface was to strip it with removers, sandblasting, pressure washing or simply removing it and starting over from scratch, all of them very costly and a waste of usable material discarded to landfills. Now there is an alternative to this problem called Soda / Media Blasting, the process of using Sodium Bicarbonate Crystals (Baking Soda) and eco-friendly abrasives that are natural, non-hazardous, food grade quality, inorganic salt with a soft crystalline structure an ideal solution to these problems. Baking Soda is also completely soluble in water and poses no special safety or disposal concerns to the environment.
