First Response Media Blasting Services include Dry Ice Blasting, Hydroblasting/Power Washing, & Sodablasting.  These types of processes are effective ways to clean and restore many surfaces with out damaging the item or structure.  These services are commonly used in restorative cleaning and decontamination projects.  Call our experienced  team today with questions you have  and find out how First Response can help with your restoration project.

DRY ICE BLASTING

Dry ice blast cleaning uses solid CO2, a non-abrasive media that won't damage surfaces or equipment. The accelerated, super cooled dry ice pellets or particles, are blasted at supersonic speeds and sublimate on impact resulting in the surface being cleaned, lifting dirt and contaminants off the underlying substrate.

Dry ice blast cleaning utilizes a unique combination of forces to powerfully lift surface contaminates without causing damage or creating harmful secondary waste. Similar to sand, bead and soda blasting, dry ice blast cleaning prepares and cleans surfaces using a medium accelerated in a pressurized air stream. But, that's where the similarity ends.

The power of Dry Ice blasting brings winning solutions to a diverse list of industry leaders around the globe, including:

Aerospace Automotive Contract Cleaning Disaster Remediation

Electronics Food Processing Foundry Manufacturing

Packaging Power Generation Printing Restoration Rubber & Plastics

HYDROBLASTING

Hydroblasting or Power Washing is done by directing jets of pressurized water against a surface to remove paint and debris. Hydroblasting is a technique for cleaning surfaces, which relies entirely on the energy of water striking a surface to achieve its cleaning effect. Abrasives are not used in hydroblasting systems which eliminates  the problems caused by dust pollution and by the disposal of spent abrasives.

We are able to clean many surfaces, including residential siding, interior and exterior surfaces of businesses, concrete surfaces and more. We are also able to remove graffiti.

Power Washing with hot water at temperatures between 200 to 250 degrees, is able to clean the toughest grease or oil jobs. We are also able to decontaminate surfaces using powerful, multi-purpose disinfectants.

SODABLASTING

Sodablasting is a cleaning and restorative process where sodium bicarbonate is applied against a surface using compressed air. One of the best examples of its’ early use was to restore the Statue of Liberty in the late 1980s. Sodablasting is a non-destructive method for many applications in cleaning, paint stripping, restoration, industrial equipment maintenance, rust removal, graffiti removal, molecular steel passivation against rust, oil removal by saponification and translocation, masonry cleaning and restoration, soot remediation, boat hull cleaning, and for cleaning food processing facilities and equipment.
