SodaBlast Systems Appoints 9 New Preferred Contractors
For Eco-Friendly Boat Hull Cleaning

HOUSTON, TEXAS, NOVEMBER 12, 2008 (USA) - SodaBlast Systems today announced the appointment of nine new preferred contractors in the US for its eco-friendly boat hull cleaning systems. There are now more than 180 company-trained contractors providing SodaBlasting services worldwide.

SodaBlasting Hull Cleaning

In the SodaBlasting process, a non-destructive stream of air-driven, specially formulated baking soda under high pressure is first used to strip the antifoulant paint and open the blister. Then, to prepare the surface for repair and repainting, the affected area around the blister is feathered by split-second, swirled "micro-blasting”. This finishes the surface in preparation for repair. The entire process can be accomplished in 1/10 the time as traditional techniques, resulting in a properly prepared surface that is ready for blister repair and painting.

The new SodaBlasting Preferred Contractors are:

Advanced Stripping Technologies, Bloomfield, NM
Bob's SodaBlasting, Cape May, NJ
Chris Melvy, Ravensdale, WA
City of San Marcos Parks & Recreation, San Marcos, TX
Colorado SodaBlasting, Greeley, CO
Oakley Auto Body, Ayden, NC
Potts Auto Body, Minford, OH
SodaPro, Golden, CO
Waren Stone, Kihei, HI
