PLASMABLAST IN ACTION
REmovING COATINGS
Get A Clean Surface withOUT DAMAGE TO THE SUBSTrATE
AcHIEVE A SUPERIOR RESULT WITHOUT CHEMICALS oR ABRASIVES. AVOID COSTLY CONTAINMENT AND CLEAN UP.
PlasmaBlast coating removal uses a plasma beam to vaporize coatings from a surface. A non-technical description is to think of PlasmaBlast as a plasma ray-gun that disintegrates coatings but preserves the surface under the coating. It may sound like science-fiction but the technology is based on proven and patented science-fact. More technically, the chemically reactive plasma beam transforms up to 60% of the coatings into harmless gases, carbon dioxide and water vapor. The rest of the coating is blown away from the surface as a dry dust.
3 KEY BENEFITS OF PLASMABLAST COATING REMOVAL
THIS SYSTEM OPERATES WITH ONlY THE INPUTS of AIR AND ELECTRICITY
FAST, PRECISE REMOVAL ON IRREGULAR SHAPES
The PlasmaBlast system treats the complete surface (cracks, crevices, profile valleys) without changing the profile or mechanical/metallurgical properties of the metal. The coating removal effect of the plasma flows like a fluid and can remove coatings covering any shape or complex geometry surface.
LOWER THE RISK OF WORKER INJURY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
This tool has been designed with the safety of the operator in mind. Eliminates WASTE, VIBRATION, NOISE, OFF-GASSING / The treatment produces carbon dioxide, water vapor, and small quantities of non-toxic gases and dust. Additionally, the tool is easy to use and quick to be trained on, in comparison to some conventional methods.
THIS TOOL GOES WHERE OTHER TOOLS CAN'T REACH
PlasmaBlast has been used 300 feet above the ground on wind towers and 7 decks below on an aircraft carrier. Because the plasma beam flows like water this technology is perfect to clean the intricate threads of a coated bolt, reach down into a crack of a corroded part or remove the paint from the crease in a dent. The 34 pound, PB-7000 series are portable plasma systems for manual use or robotic implementation on industrial and military assets. The tool has been ruggedized to ensure successful operation in harsh environments.

Atmospheric Plasma Coating Removal: The Future Without Spent Abrasive
Purpose of the Study
To show that APCR could be effectively used to remove coatings from steel substrates and leave a surface that is ready for recoating and provide similar adhesion to that of a grit blasted surface.
We'VE PROVEN SUCCESS WITH THESE
coatings, sealants, and substrates
The PB 7000-M system has been shown effective in removing a wide range of coatings and sealants from a wide variety of substrates. The technology has been validated by Fortune 100 companies and in projects and related contracts with the US Navy, US Air Force, NATO and the Strategic Environmental Research and Development program (SERDP).
