Sodium Bicarbonate

It was developed for various purposes, it’s a 100% environmentally friendly material that doesnot harm our planet.

• Pros: it is a smooth cleaning process with a great final result asit leaves the surface ready to be treated. If the surface to be treated is ferrous, it also helps as a corrosion inhibitor.
• Cons: because it is a slower process compared with the others, it can be more expensive.

Garnet

It is natural sand which works as a non-active abrasive. It does not cause silicosis.

• Pros: Fast low-cost process.
• Disadvantages: it doesn’t leave a perfect finish, it requiresa metallization or paint treatment within a short period of time in order to avoid corrosion.

Glass blasting beads (glass beads)

Thanks to their hardness and spherical form, they allow us to remove impurities and corrosion without damaging the surfaces we are working on.

• Pros: Fast pickling and perfect finish (ideal for small parts).
• Cons: Expensive process whichrequires a metallization or paint treatment within a short period of time in order to avoid corrosion.
