Sodium Bicarbonate 240 mesh

Understanding 240 Mesh Soda Blast Media

Sodium bicarbonate abrasive is a friable crystal that explodes on impact with a surface, providing a gentle scouring action. The 240 mesh particle size is particularly fine, making it ideal for applications where a smooth, consistent finish is critical and substrate preservation is the top priority. Unlike harder angular abrasives like aluminum oxide or garnet, soda bicarbonate will not etch glass, pit aluminum, or warp thin sheet metal.

This media is commonly used in air blast systems, either in direct pressure or suction-fed pots, with moisture control being a key factor for optimal flow. Its water solubility allows for easy cleanup, though it leaves a protective film that must be rinsed before applying new coatings.

Key Industrial Applications

• Automotive Restoration: Safely strips paint, primer, and body filler from fiberglass, aluminum panels, and chrome without causing heat warping or surface profiling.
• Mold and Fire Damage Remediation: Effectively removes char, soot, and mold spores from wood studs, concrete, and masonry, while also acting as a deodorizer.
• Historic Building Restoration: Cleans delicate brick, terra cotta, and marble facades without eroding the original surface or harming adjacent glass and metalwork.
• Food and Beverage Processing Equipment: Degreases and cleans stainless steel machinery, ovens, and conveyor parts without leaving toxic residues, simplifying post-blast cleanup.
• Graffiti Removal: Lifts paint from painted metal signs, plastics, and other surfaces where chemical strippers or aggressive blasting would cause damage.

Selection and Handling Tips

To achieve the best results with 240 mesh sodium bicarbonate, ensure your blasting system is equipped with a moisture separator and an air dryer. The media is hygroscopic and can clump if exposed to humidity. Use a blast nozzle with a minimum 1/4-inch orifice and maintain a consistent blast pressure between 60 and 100 PSI, adjusting based on the substrate's sensitivity. Always perform a test patch on a non-critical area to confirm the cleaning rate and surface finish before proceeding with the full project.
