Advisory Council

A Primary Mission of the Council is to promote effective means of surface preparation in the maintenance industry using water and water/abrasive blasting techniques. An electrolyte is contained in a liquid-absorbent material to which a counter electrode is attached. This apparatus, often combined with a liner, is attached to the painted metal surface (typically steel) […]

A Primary Mission of the Council is to promote effective means of surface preparation in the maintenance industry using water and water/abrasive blasting techniques. Costs for hazardous waste disposal are more than double that of non-hazardous waste disposal costs.1 This, combined with the liability involved with hazardous waste disposal has brought other options to the […]

A Primary Mission of the Advisory Council is to promote effective means of surface preparation in the maintenance industry using water and water/abrasive blasting techniques. The Abrasive Injected Water Blasting (AIWB) process involves introducing an abrasive into a high pressure water stream where it is delivered to the surface to be blasted. AIWB will impart […]

Slurry blasting and surfaces. This slurry material is forced through the blast hose to the nozzle using compressed air, similar to the method used to move dry abrasive through hoses in conventional abrasive blasting operations. However, the Torbo® system allows the blast operator to control the following directly at the nozzle: abrasive mixture quantity, air […]
