Tests have shown when stripping paint off metal using the same equipment, Super K is twenty to thirty percent faster than sodium bicarbonate.
Another test concluded in comparison to seventy grit silica sand, Super K was as fast in removing paint without pitting the metal surface unlike silica sand.
SurfaceTek is a company dedicated to the coatings removal industry.
Super K
Super K ( Potassium Sulphate) a hard sharp crystal used as a blasting media. Super K is water-soluble, environmentallyfriendly
blast media that cleans, degreases and removes paint, coatings and surface rust. Super K works like soda but is
much faster and more aggressive with minimum disturbance to the under laying surface.
Effective & Quick
Capable of removing coatings, mill scale and medium to
heavy rust scale. Twenty to thirty faster than blasting
with soda bicarbonate.
Environmentally Safe
Water soluble, non-toxic, ph neutral. Will not damage or
kill foliage or vegetation.
Safe for Process Areas
Safe to use around rotating equipment, bearings, and
sliding mechanisms
Non Sparking
Will not produce sparks and is suitable for use in
explosion proof areas; including refineries, chemical
plants, and grain elevators
PH Neutral
Surface does not need to be neutralized after blasting.
Water Soluble
Super K can be used in low, high and ultra high water
blasting systems. Use of Super K in these systems result
in higher production rates than water only.
Worker Friendly
Non-toxic, silica free.
Minimum Disturbance to Under Laying Surface
Super K will not create heat build up, pit, score, or warp
metal. Effective on steel, concrete, fiberglass, gelcoat,
thin gauge sheet metal, aluminum and other soft metals.
Improved Crack Detection
Abrasive blast medias tend to peen a crack closed,
making crack detection difficult. Blasting with Super K
actually cleans out the crack without peening , leaving it
exposed and easy to detect.
