What is Sponge-Jet Blasting?
Sponge-Jet blasting is a revolutionary way to strip paint, rust, and contaminants from almost any surface. Instead of using a traditional abrasive media—such as sand, soda, or water vapor—Sponge-Jet blasting uses synthetic sponges with an embedded abrasive. Upon striking the surface, the sponge flattens and exposes the abrasive, traps, and removes the contaminant. The trapped dust, paint, lead, soot, corrosion, rust, or other materials fall to the ground, where a vacuum can easily collect it instead of being released into the air from other abrasion blasting styles.
Benefits of Sponge-Jet Blasting
Less Dust
One of the biggest reasons customers and contractors love Sponge-Jet is because it produces minimal dust. This system traps the contaminants as it strips the surface rather than simply blasting the surface’s impurities. The synthetic sponge captures up to 95% of the contaminants, reducing fugitive emissions through its MicroContainment™ feature. This means less dust and other pollutants getting into the air.
Quicker Set-up and Clean-up
Because Sponge-Jet blasting produces so little dust, the containment requirements are minimal compared to other types of blasting. Our team can quickly set up, perform the work, and clean-up. The foam projectiles and surface contaminants can be easily and quickly vacuumed up. There is no wastewater to contain, collect, and dispose of as hazardous waste. This means minimum disruption to your business and the public.
Environmentally-Friendly Restoration Service
The EPA conducted extensive testing on Sponge-Jet media and found it far superior to traditional blasting media. Sponge-Jet blasting is an environmentally responsible way to strip and prep because the sponges can be recycled and used again. It is an eco-friendly and green choice for blasting and stripping.
Safe Around Sensitive Equipment
Perhaps the most significant disadvantage to sand-blasting is that sand ricochets off the surface, and precautions must be taken to protect nearby equipment. This is mainly a problem with sensitive instrumentation and rotating equipment. However, these issues are eliminated with Sponge-Jet blasting. The soft sponge material does not ricochet and has a much smaller containment zone.
Economical Abrasive Blasting
You would expect to pay a premium for the benefits of Sponge-Jet blasting services. However, you will be pleasantly surprised to discover that Surface Resto’ Sponge-Jet blasting service is comparable in cost to our other traditional blasting media. This is possible for several reasons:
• Lower Labor Costs – Sponge-Jet blasting requires fewer labor hours for a start-to-finish project.
• Lower Freight Costs – The sponges are far lighter than sand or soda. We do not pay as much in freight costs, and we pass that savings on to you.
• Reusable Sponges – The sponges can be reused up to fifteen times. This allows us to vacuum them up and reuse them immediately on your job, which substantially reduces the amount of media required and saves you money.

Applications for Sponge-Jet Blasting
Surface Resto provides a low-cost and efficient option when any part of the job requires stripping or blasting. The low-dust, low-ricochet features of Sponge-Jet allow it to be used on almost any site. Many customers have even found that they could obtain blasting permits for Sponge-Jet, where they could not get a sand-blasting permit. Whatever your stripping, cleaning, restoration, or surface profiling needs, Sponge-Jet blasting has you covered. Below are a few of the proven applications for foam-based abrasive blasting:
Industrial Equipment Projects
Sponge-Jet blasting has grown in popularity as an efficient method of cleaning industrial equipment. The flexible scheduling offered by Surface Resto means that you can schedule our team at your convenience to address your surface preparation needs. Our quick set-up minimizes disruptions, and the low-dust process also allows your craftsmen to continue their work while we blast. Avoid costly delays and call Surface Resto to solve your surface preparation needs quickly.
Coating Preparation Projects
It is estimated that inadequate surface preparation is responsible for up to 75% of coating failures. The increased visibility during the dustless Sponge-Jet blasting process also helps the operator review the finished surface before coating. To avoid the waste and unnecessary costs associated with coating failure, use Surface Resto’s Sponge-Jet blasting to get it done right the first time.
Restoration Projects
While Sponge-Jet has an array of applications, restoration projects are perhaps where its value is most apparent. The variable pressure from the Sponge-Jet portable feed-unit allows a skilled operator to vary the pressure according to the job requirements. At low-pressure, delicate blasting jobs—such as cleaning window frames without breaking the glass—are possible.
