About Sponge-Jet, Inc.

Sponge-Jet, Inc. is the world’s leading manufacturer of dry, low dust, recyclable abrasive blasting media and related high-production equipment. The Sponge-Jet process is recognized and used in over fourteen different industries with particular usage in the oil and gas, shipbuilding, petrochemical, historic preservation, power and nuclear industries – as well as in many other industries for surface preparation and maintenance activities.

The concept of saving hours – even days of downtime relating to surface preparation and coating operations can mean millions when considering the opportunity gained from extending the serviceable life of high-value capital assets. Sponge-Jet, with its clean, dry, low dust and low rebound Sponge Media™ abrasives, provides the ability to improve and condense this often wasteful and disruptive process by (1) allowing other trades to work in close proximity during blasting, (2) by eliminating costly and damaging overspray to adjacent painted surfaces, (3) by reducing impact to sensitive surrounding rotating equipment, bearings, seals and electronics, (4) by greatly reducing job-site clean-up and the overall waste foot-print and lastly (5) by providing enhanced visibility which promotes efficient, high-quality, first-pass cleaning, corrosion and coating removal.

The company remains dedicated – as it has been for over two decades – to developing and marketing innovative, cost-effective, low-dust solutions to the surface preparation, worker safety and environmental protection needs of a very wide range of commercial/industrial customers.
