Operational Efficiency

  • 90% less front-end loader usage during blasting with 10X Engineered Materials (minimal cleanup required)
  • Significantly reduced diesel fuel consumption
  • No mid-process cleanup interruptions

Material & Waste Savings

  • 20 gallons less paint thinner per vessel blasted with 10X Engineered Materials
  • 5 gallons less paint per vessel blasted with superoxalloy
  • Eliminated 3 spray system flushed per project

Labor & Time Savings

  • 45 hours to 15 hours of nozzle time on average
  • 4-5 week turnaround to 1-2 week turnaround
  • Cleaning labor decreased from 25 hours to 6 hours per vessel
