Commercial Applications
Powder Coating
Sandblasting can take about a minute for every 2 square inches of powder coating removal. Dustless Blasting can take about a minute per square FOOT thanks to its unique and powerful process!
Chemical stripping is dangerous and expensive because it involves dipping powder coated parts into large containers of toxic chemicals. Dustless Blasting’s eco-friendly abrasive is much more affordable and safer. Simply point and blast away even the most difficult of coatings.
Offshore
Your employees can continue to work because the dustless blasting process suppresses the dust plume. You stay productive and profitable. We can also help you stay OSHA compliant – workers stay safe!
No static electricity or ignitable sparks are created in the process, making Dustless Blasting safe for oil rig platforms and even live pipelines.
Heavy Equipment
Industrial strength coatings used on heavy machinery are no match for Dustless Blasting. The powerful mixture of water and abrasive combined with a highly focused nozzle can remove the toughest coatings with ease.
The speed and efficiency of Dustless Blasting is unmatched, minimizing any downtime for your heavy equipment. Because the process uses water, heat and friction are no issue so you don’t have to worry about any risk of warping.
Refinery
Our process allows you to perform refinery maintenance quickly and efficiently without shutting down plant operations. Others can continue to work alongside the Dustless Blaster because there is no huge plume of dust. Plus, our system creates no ignitable sparks or static electricity, making it far safer than traditional dry blasting.
Quickly strip paint and primer — while also removing rust, grease, and other contaminants — in one easy step.
We have a process for each of the surfaces you need restored and guarantee our services 100% to your satisfaction.

Get you restoration project going while saving time and money!
Dustless Blasting is perfect for surface stripping of rust, paint, body fillers and undercoats, while being significantly faster than sandblasting.
Water cools the surface and prevents heat, so no warpage occurs. Fiberglass body gel coats are not damaged and the surface is left like new. Old rusty frames, body shells and components are left in white metal and look better than new and ready for primer. Save time, money and hard work and let us start you next project off right.
The outside of most cars can be completely stripped quickly and efficiently. The removed paint and blasting materials will stay on the ground beneath and around the car. Proper use of the rust inhibitor allows up to 72 hours of rust resistance in ideal conditions, but we recommend that you prime as soon as possible after blasting.
We also have the ability and experience the complete the job all the way through the paint process. Our shop is fully staffed with the equipment needed to paint your vehicle!

How it Works
Water & media create a powerful combination to remove virtually any material and prep nearly every surface!
Dustless Blasting works by mixing water and an abrasive inside the blast tank. By introducing water we’re drastically increasing mass and energy the machine is putting out, while at the same time eliminating dust.
Many people ask what the difference is between dry sand blasting and modern Dust Blasting. There are numerous advantage to Dustless Blasting:
- Faster
The Dustless Blaster can strip a car in just a few hours. - Minimal Dust
The abrasive gets trapped in water and grounded, eliminating the plume of dust. - No Warping
The water prevents friction and won’t warp thin metal like sandblasting will. - Less Containment Needed
In most cases, expensive, time consuming containment doesn’t need to be set up. - Doesn’t Affect Nearby Workers
Never sacrifice productivity, other workers can work nearby unaffected. - Leaves a Paint Ready Surface
The rust inhibitor decontaminates the metal leaving a clean, chloride free paint ready surface.
FAQ
Since Water Is Used, Won’t It Rust Metal?
We use a rust inhibitor to prevent flash rusting for up to 72 hours. This extremely effective rust inhibitor is added to the blast water to prevent flash rust during blasting, and then used to rinse after blasting is complete. Watch the video below to learn more about HoldTight 102 and how to use it correctly.
Will The Dustless Blaster Damage Chrome And Glass?
Glass and chrome can be damaged by any kind of abrasive blasting. You should always mask off the chrome and glass prior to blasting.
Can The Dustless Blaster Cause Warping Like Sandblasting Can?
Warping occurs when the metal heats up due to friction from dry abrasive. The Dustless Blaster will not cause warping, because friction and heat are reduced by the water. In fact the temperature of the metal being blasted usually comes down about 10 degrees from ambient. Some people say warping can still occur regardless of temperature, we disagree. Have you ever seen a blacksmith working cold metal? With that being said, you can still bend metal by applying too much pressure, just like you could bend it with a solid object. For large flat pieces of metal like trunks or hoods we recommend using about 60 PSI at a 20º angle to avoid bending metal. Also, be careful not to separate the sheet metal from the betal bracing on the underside of a trunk or hood.
