Distribution Pact Reached
for Abrasive Blasting
Corrosion solutions specialist Presserv
(Stavanger, Norway) recently signed an
agreement for Scotland and offshore U.K.
distribution rights with Sponge Jet (New-
ington, New Hampshire), an abrasive blast-
ing technology provider aiming to boost
operator efficiency. Unlike standard blast-
ing methods using water or grit to blast sur-
faces in preparation for applying corrosion
solutions, the Sponge Jet method uses small
pieces of sponge as its abrasive substance.
"The Sponge Jet low dust and low rebound
technology means that surface preparation
can continue alongside other trades, where
previously traditional grit blasting methods
required full encapsulation," says Stuart
Rennie, sales manager at Presserv. Because
of the low dust and low rebound character-
istics, work spaces are kept to a minimum
and there is less impact upon normal oper-
ations, says Presserv.
