Why Soda Blasting?
ISSG is proud to offer a vast number of inexpensive substitutions to degreasing, chemical cleaning, chemical coatings removal, restoration and protection. Our specially designed 100% food grade baking soda is delivered to a surface by means of LOW PRESSURE compressed air at high velocity.
The soft, sharp granules of the baking soda are used to clean, degrease and remove paint or graffiti from many surfaces WITHOUT or very minimal to no damage to the surface including bearings and seals. Many other methods such as water blasting, sand blasting or chemical cleaning, are too abrasive to the surface and are not environmentally friendly. These methods can also be hazardous to the user. ISSG uses blasting media that is 100% food grade, biodegradable, non toxic, non hazardous, non sparking, non flammable, water soluble, odourless, eliminates odours, non irritant to the eyes and skin, non corrosive and mould resistant.

How Versatile Is Soda Blasting?
Soda Blasting has a wide range of specialised application.
- From removing burnt on carbon from pots and pans to removing concrete from glass.
- From restoring engine and hydraulic parts, to crack detection on large ships and structures.
- From wood and antique furniture restoration, to council domestic graffiti and bitumen removal.
- From glue and chewing gum removal, to main roads line marking removal. From paint removal on cars, to delicate aviation applications.

Does Soda Blasting Damage The Surface?
Soda blasting can be applied to numerous surfaces. These include glass, aluminium, stainless steel, wood, brick, steel, concrete and natural stone (sandstone, lime, marble) to name a few. Soda blasting causes very minimal or no damage to the surface.
In certain cases we are able to do selective paint layer removal taking only top coats off while leaving the undercoat in tact. We are even able to remove paint from an aluminium soft drink can without damage to the can. Unlike sandblasting, garnet blasting or bead blasting, Soda blasting creates very minimal or NO heat which ensures the shape and strength of the surface being blasted.
What Can Soda Blasting Do?
- Soda Blasting can remove a single layer of paint if required
- Soda Blasting can remove bitumen from glass and metal
- Soda Blasting can remove baked on carbon and grease from food equipment
- Soda Blasting can restore engine frames, wings and parts from the aviation industry
- Soda Blasting can remove paint and varnish from wood
- Soda Blasting can remove concrete from glass and metal
- Soda Blasting can remove grease and oil from engine and hydraulic parts
- Soda Blasting is great for crack detection on parts and structural joins

What Is Crack Detection?
The pressure, hardness and density of conventional blasting media, tends to peen over any cracks or imperfections that might need to be identified for reconditioning or fault finding purposes. If cracks and imperfections are not detected, this may cause a mechanical failure to the reconditioned parts and structural failure to buildings, support beams. Some structural beams within bridges and large ship hulls and other vessels are under extreme pressure. Cracks, faults and imperfections need to be identified in order to fix the problem. Soda Blasting is brilliant for crack and metal imperfection detection as it actually opens up the cracks, leaving them visible for all to see.
Can Soda Blasting Remove Bitumen?
Until now, there has been no effective way to remove bitumen.
Highly toxic chemicals including EB70 and kerosene together with high pressure water blasting was the only method known to date.
ISSG now brings this unique and state of the art cleaning method to Australia. Soda blasting quickly and easily removes and cleans difficult substance including BITUMEN, RUBBERISED BITUMEN, SPRAY SEALERS, EMULSION, SURFACE TREATMENTS, EPOXY RESINS, RESURFACING CONCRETE and many more. There is no other method today that can remove such hard wearing substances as quickly and efficiently as Soda Blasting.
ISSG can clean and remove such substances from plant equipment, machinery, tools, sprayers and tanks to name but a few. Further more these substances can be removed from delicate surfaces such as steel, stainless steel, concrete, rubber hoses and even glass with little or no damage to the surface.
Most EPA problems such as the use of highly toxic chemicals and waste run off are virtually eliminated as sodium bicarbonate being 100% natural is non toxic and environmentally friendly. As many states over Australia have water restrictions, the wasteful water issues associated with high pressure water blasting are now in many instances replaced with soda blasting.
Clean up is also a breeze as ISSG has a range of both quick and easy containment techniques. The only factor lies with what is actually being cleaned off. In most cases, the product being cleaned can be vacuumed, swept up or in some cases may be contained with the aid of sand or other natural absorbent products which soaks up any wastes.
What Are The Benefits Of Soda Blasting In The Mechanical Industry?
 |
Soda Blasting is a ONE step process. Baking soda being an A1 degreaser makes quick work in the mechanical industry. Benefits include:
- No pre-degreasing or pre-washing
- No removal of seals and bearings
- No damage and no pitting of metal
- Great for crack detection and no warping of metal
- Paint removal from metal panels with almost no prep work or masking
The mechanical uses for soda blasting include industries such as Automotive, Aviation, Hydraulic, Marine and Mining. |
What Are The Benefits Of Soda Blasting In The Food Industry?
Soda Blasting is a ONE step process. Baking soda being an A1 degreaser makes quick work in the food industry. Benefits include:
- No pre-degreasing, pre-washing or pre-heating
- No manual scraping
- No damage and no pitting of metal
- Food grade
The food grade uses for soda blasting include industries such as Commercial and Domestic Food Equipment, Manufacturing, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical and Injection Moulding.
These are merely a few of the vast range of Soda Blasting applications.
Isn’t Moisture A Major Problem Within The Blasting Industry???
MOISTURE is one of the largest problems facing the conventional blasting industry. Too much moisture in the air can cause major clogging and blockages to blasting equipment causing valuable down time. To overcome this problem, most blasting companies simply do not blast during wet, rainy or even humid conditions. This in turn will result in major delays when work efficiency is needed to complete work. Vast amount of funds are spent trying to cope with this problem including the uses of very expensive dryers, moisture control blasting rooms and still the problem continues.
BUMP SODA
HOWEVER, as ISSG uses our very own media BUMP SODA, an actual MOISTURE RESISTANT baking soda, our business is NOT effected by most moisture problems that normally plague the blasting industry and is among the only business, in conjunction with our very own machinery and our very own blasting media, that can actually blast in the rain….now when I say in the rain, I don’t mean blasting in a shed while it rains outside, I mean our blasting equipment, compressor and ourselves blasting in the rain.
