Marine Maintenance

PROVIDE FAST AND EFFECTIVE SURFACE PREPARATION FOR ALL BOATS, SHIPS AND MARINE VESSELS

The beST METHOD FOR MARINE RESTORATION

 

A marine coating faces extreme environmental factors and when not properly managed, it can cause downtime for additional maintenance and repairs. It is critical to have proper surface preparation so a new coating can properly adhere when applied.

Reveal Blister Damage

Gelcoats can develop blisters that will need to be repaired. Dustless Blasting can remove thick marine coatings to easily expose the blisters.

Suppress The Dust

Dustless Blasting is an OSHA-recommended alternative to dry blasting producing substantially lower dust emissions and lessening the amount of containment required.

Powerful Removal

Easily remove rust, blistering, and tough old marine coatings with abrasive encapsulated in water so particulates are not embedded in the substrate. This means there is a properly cleaned surface that will not affect the integrity of a fresh coating. 

Easy Containment

Simply use Visqueen plastic, tarps, or vacuum systems to contain dust and debris.

Blast Various Substrates

 

Whether you're blasting steel, aluminum or fiberglass, you can vary your pressure settings and media to remove failed coatings and corrosion.

Environmental Excellence 

 

Because there is no dust plume or toxic chemicals, Dustless Blasting systems can be used in areas with strict environmental rules where containment is required.

Remove antifouling paint and open gelcoat blisters.

Antifouling paint needed to be removed from this 54 foot Viking yacht, so that a new layer of antifouling paint could be applied. Many blisters had also developed in the fiberglass gelcoat. These blisters needed to be opened up for repair.

"Marine maintenance has never been this easy or this profitable."
