Large production and maintenance jobs

Shipyards

Bridges

Tanks

Pipelines

Rail



 


Need for speed in volume: 

  • Big projects with tight, rigid production timetables
  • Work schedules with no time allowance for post-blast cleaning or rework
  • Settings where poor worker visibility caused by abrasive dust reduces speed (and quality)
  • Critical assets back online faster
  • Eliminate hand-tooling ahead of blasting


Need for speed in volume:

  • Uniform surface profile across expansive areas
  • Environments where low visibility from abrasive dust could
  • compromise craftsmanship
  • Ultra-clean jobsite required
  • Delayed rust bloom and low-to-no embedment
  • Tackle more jobs per year through increased productivity


Difficult-to-remove coatings:

  • Remove thick coatings, elastomerics, multi-layers, two-part epoxies, fusion bonded, polyurea, tank liners, marine coatings and more


Reducing total job cost:

  • Jobs of sufficient scale—where increased speed and reduced abrasive consumption can deliver payback in reduced cost per sq. ft. 
  • Reduce rework from embedment, rust bloom and coating failure


Safety:

  • Exceptional worker safety
  • Exceptional environmental safety: air and water quality - Can be harmlessly left on the ground or in water (TCLP)

KinetiX superoxalloy abrasive on the job



KinetiX superoxalloy abrasive: Removes 200+ mil of paint layers, eliminating baking and scraping

With ultra-effective KinetiX, this ultra-thick coating didn’t stand a chance.


The Challenge:

A painting contractor tested 10X superoxalloy abrasive on paint racks with 250 mils of numerous coating layers from multiple paint jobs. No abrasive in their shop — including garnet, staurolite or steel grit — could be used to remove this coating. Before 10X, the racks were baked or hand scraped to restore them for reuse.


The 10X Breakthrough:

Operators were stunned to see that KinetiX 20/40 immediately cut through the coating and left a beautifully profiled white metal finish.

KinetiX superoxalloy abrasive: Prevents flash rusting without chemical inhibitors

This ship hull was blasted and left fully exposed to humidity for two weeks. Maintained SSPC-SP6 outside the rain runoff areas. 


The Challenge:

Flash rust after blasting steel can be a major scheduling challenge and cost drain for surface preparation and painting contractors. Painters have to be ready to come in right behind blasters to make sure surfaces are coated before flash rusting starts. It is common for parts and structures to have to be blasted a second time if they are not coated in time.


The 10X Breakthrough:

With KinetiX superoxalloy abrasive, blasters can say “goodbye” to rust bloom. There’s no need for extra steps, like chemical treatment, or extra equipment, like dehumidifiers. In a customer trial, a single panel was blasted with garnet and KinetiX superoxalloy abrasive, then left outside for a period of 3 days, during which it rained for periods of time. The portion blasted with garnet showed significant rust, while the portion blasted with KinetiX superoxalloy did not. 10X superoxalloy abrasives leave a truly clean surface with no embedment or residue to initiate corrosion on the surface.

KinetiX superoxalloy abrasive: 74% less blasting media consumed with KinetiX vs. copper slag

Prepping this tank surface with KinetiX consumed 74% less blasting media vs. copper slag.


The Challenge: 

A contractor preparing a tank for recoating blasted through a 50 lb. bag of copper slag 20/40 in 2 minutes and 43 seconds, removing only 5 sq. ft. of rust from the tank. The copper slag showed visible signs of embedment, potentially triggering rust bloom.


The 10X Breakthrough

When the blasting media was switched to superoxalloy abrasive, 50 lbs. of KinetiX 20/70 finished the rest of the job in 10 minutes and 8 seconds. Less abrasive used and an increase in speed produced a 33% cost savings for the job compared to copper slag. In addition, KinetiX left a brighter, cleaner, ready-to-coat surface with no embedment.


74% less blasting media consumed with KinetiX superoxalloy vs. copper slag

KinetiX superoxalloy abrasive: 36% faster than garnet at removing epoxy, less abrasive consumed

On this surface, KinetiX was 40% faster than garnet at removing epoxy.


The Challenge:

A contractor removing tough, marine-grade epoxy with garnet was experiencing long job completion times and high material costs, sapping profitability.


The 10X Breakthrough:

KinetiX 20/70 superoxalloy abrasive blasted through the 3.54 sq. ft. test area of expoy (25-35 mil thick) nearly 40% faster than garnet 30/60. In addition, the KinetiX test area consumed about 1/3 less abrasive and showed no signs of particle embedment. Compared to garnet, KinetiX superoxalloy abrasive delivered a 23.6% reduction in total job cost.
