Protect Military Assets And Readiness

Subjected to the most rigorous environments, military equipment is expected to operate at top performance at all times. Corrosion prevention is a priority to maintain equipment; naval vessels, aircraft, vehicles, heavy equipment and armament. Sponge Media™ blasting can prepare most surfaces, including:

  • Advanced materials & armored plates
  • Aluminum
  • Bronze
  • Brass
  • Super duplex
  • Stainless steel
  • Composites
  • Fiberglass
  • High-strength steel and alloys

Selectively strip coatings, remove contaminants and hazardous materials from substrates without generating the excessive dust environments or ricochet damage normally encountered when rehabilitating assets. Sponge-Jet prepared surfaces optimize coating life and asset readiness.

Features & Benefits

  • Decontaminate, entrap and abate hazards
  • Simplify job staging
  • Protect integrity & reliability of equipment
  • Increase asset life and coating performance
  • Reliably schedule & budget
  • Improve worker health and safety

  • Protecting Adjacent Coatings During Bilge Space Spot Repairs

    Newport News Shipbuilding used Sponge Media™ abrasives during a maintenance overhaul to conduct bilge space repair on the Nimitz class Super Carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70); the choice was made based on the technology’s ability to protect adjacent coatings from abrasive ricochet, which is known to cause pinhole corrosion.

  • Australian Navy Barge uses Sponge Media™ over Ordinary Abrasives

    Sponge-Jet wins out over ordinary abrasives on the exterior overhaul of Australian Navy barges; cost of dust (abrasive cleaning/collection labor, inability to work nearby blasting and inability to reuse abrasives) all cut by Sponge-Jet - savings calculated to $120,000 per barge.

  • Effective Removal of Abrasive/CARC Coating with Sponge-Jet

    Aggressive grades of Silver Sponge Media™ abrasives make easy work of removing chemical agent resistant coatings like those used on the surface of this Middle East Army vehicle.

  • Sponge-Jet Removes Toughest Marine Coatings; e.g. top-side non-skid.

    Thai navy turns to Sponge-Jet to remove non-skid coating from perimeter deck of aircraft carrier; the process achieved specified Near White Metal Blast Cleaning Sa2.5 (NACE 2 / SSPC SP-10).

  • US NAVY turns to Sponge-Jet for Protection from Grit Intrusion

    Blasting gun turret on US Navy ship; chose Sponge-Jet to limit grit intrusion of the rotating parts (e.g. bearings and seals)

  • NAVSEA Expects 15-20 year Life-span for Sponge-Jet Blasted Substrates

    NAVSEA directive turns to Sponge-Jet to obtain 15-20 year lifespan on new coating systems in the bilge tank of this USN LHD 6 amphibious assault ship; With greatly enhanced visibility and low rebound, blasters are able to strictly adhere to the specified Sa3 (NACE 1 / SSPC SP-5) White Metal Blast Cleaning finish.

  • Canadian DND Calls for Sponge-Jet to Replace Ordinary Abrasives

    Sponge-Jet abrasives are used for restoring pressure hull and outer shell mounts (removing tile adhesive and corrosion); Canadian Department of National Defense and NAVSEA have approved the use of Sponge-Jet as a replacement for ordinary abrasives.

  • Sponge Blasting Military Vehicles; One-step Coating Removal, Cleaning and Profiling

    Military restoration contractor blasts hummer with Sponge-Jet; Silver 80 Sponge media™ abrasive removes coating and imparts 65 micron (2.5mil) profile.

  • Precision Control to Selectively Strip Coatings

    Selective coating removal, carefully exposes chromate primer on aircraft; Sponge-Jet was the perfect solution to selectively strip and expose harmful hexavalent chromium-based primer because it’s controlled abrasion and extreme dust-suppressing properties.

  • Power Tooling vs Abrasive Blasting for Surface Prep

    Power tooling is a method of surface preparation commonly used in tight spaces where access is limited. Pneumatic, electric, and hand tools such as angle grinders, needle guns, wire wheels, wire brushes, scrapers, and sanding pads can be used to remove rust, paint, and other contaminants from a surface.
