Sponge-Jet Marine Industry Overview

Both Freshwater and Saltwater vessels see all sorts of contaminants and corrosion throughout their service life. Corrosion can threaten everything on ships, from power gen and water storage tanks, to their general structural integrity. In order to overcome these threats, proper surface preparation is key. While OSHA has found that abrasive blasting is the most common surface preparation technique in the marine industry, not every abrasive used for blasting is created equal.

Every nook and cranny counts when it comes to surface preparation. While other abrasives may not be able to fully remove contaminants like chlorides  from the smaller crevices of girders or weld seams, Sponge-Jet technology boasts these capabilities. Thanks to the high angularity of dry, low dust, low ricochet Sponge Media™ abrasives, you’re able to prepare even the most complicated areas of your vessel to the highest quality standard.
