Outdated methods could be costing you in more ways than you thought…

Traditional blasting techniques have been the standard for decades, but that doesn’t mean they still fits today’s world. Dust, waste, disruption and environmental hazards are no longer acceptable. It’s time for a cleaner, smarter approach.

Discover a better way with Matom Sponge-Tech

  • Traditional blasting methods are restrictive and struggle to adapt across different surfaces, contaminates and project requirements. They offer limited control over surface profiles and preparation, resulting in the need for costly, multiple blasting systems.

  • Traditional approaches such as sand and grit blasting produce excessive volumes of hard-to-manage waste, driving up costs and creating logistical challenges for storage, disposal, and transportation.

  • With traditional methods, airborne dust, debris, and ricochet risks create hazardous working conditions, while poor visibility limits safe operation, especially in confined or active work areas. Traditional methods cannot safely operate alongside other maintenance or critical, non-stop operations resulting in prolonged and costly downtime, delays and reduced productivity.

  • Traditional blasting methods frequently deliver inconsistent surface preparation, leaving contaminants or damage behind. Over 75% of coating failures are the direct result of poor surface preparation which increases maintenance, rework, and operational costs.

ABOUT MATOM SPONGETECH

What is Sponge-Jet Technology

Sponge-Jet replaces traditional abrasive techniques with a complete solution that delivers world leading performance, versatility and sustainability. Powered by compressed air and delivered by highly adaptable feed units™ it's patented MicroContainment™ Technology embeds micro-abrasives into engineered synthetic sponge. On impact, the sponge compresses to clean or remove coatings, then expands to capture dust and contaminants before being recycled and re-used. The results are unmatched precision, versatility, effectiveness and safety, whilst dramatically reducing waste and environmental impacts.

What Our Clients Say

  • "When you find yourself in a situation where you need to do blasting but need to control the dust and are concerned about safety and the environment, it's useful to know there's machinery that can do the job."

    - Branch Manager, Brisk Waterproofing Co.

  • "No more back breaking labor loading the buckets with grit and loading into the blaster. My back has never been happier”

    — Boat Painter, US Coast Guard -Don Holcomb, US Coast Guard C30


  • "Sponge-Jet Blast Media absorbs the contamination without re-depositing it on the material or the floor and walls of our containment structure, not to mention all of our breathing air samples have been 'clean' to this point."

    - Dave Jordan, Materials Engineering Technician, Westinghouse Electrical Company


  • "This technology requires less logistics (preparation) than other alternative technologies commonly used in the oil industry for surface preparation jobs (e.g. hydro-blasting, wet-blasting and sandblasting)."

    - Nelson E. Rodriquez G, Ecopetrol S.A.

  • "Dust produced by the process is near zero. The spent media doesn't travel very far from the point of impact, so it can be easily cleaned up. The sponge media is reusable, and we are successfully using it several times over."

    - Pete Judt, Department Head, Todd Pacific Shipyards

  • "Sponge-Jet is a much cleaner process for the interior repair and prep of our rail cars. The greatly reduced dust levels and easy cleanup has been a great benefit. The cost is slightly higher than conventional media but the ability to recycle and other benefits far outweigh the initial cost."

    - Billy Jones, Procurement & Operations, Trinity Rail
