Sponge-Jet Technology:
THE Science Behind Superior Results
A transformative and environmentally responsible technology that delivers measurable results.
Sponge-Jet’s MicroContainment Technology™ embeds high-quality micro-abrasives into a durable synthetic sponge, creating a recyclable media that can handle everything from heavy-duty surface profiling to gentle cleaning. Combined with their precision blast equipment and efficient recycling systems, Sponge-Jet delivers a comprehensive solution.
Outdated methods are costing you IN more ways than you think.
Traditional blasting methods create avoidable problems. Hazardous dust and debris, excessive waste, lost productivity, costly clean-ups, and mounting environmental risks. For many industries, this means downtime, disposal headaches and compliance failures that drive costs up and efficiency down. The truth is, these challenges aren’t just frustrating, they’re unnecessary. Sponge-Jet exists because there’s a cleaner, safer, and smarter way to achieve the same or better results without the waste, disruption, or risk.

FAQs
-
Media selection can depend on several factors including the surface type (substrate), coating or contaminant, the desired finish and future use, as well as the environment itself. Our experienced and friendly technical team will be able to advise you on the most appropriate media based on a thorough review of your requirements.
-
As well as the desired sponge, blast unit and recycler, you will need a compressor with a capacity of at least 10m³/min 8 bar and a blast pot (feed unit™). Please contact us and we will be happy to advise you.
-
Sponge-Jet have engineered a system that starts by separating and ejecting unwanted and oversized contaminates, before completing a second cycle that ejects hazardous contaminates such as lead, radioactive particles and fractures abrasives. The recycled media is then ready for re-use and can be mixed in with fresh media to continue operations.
-
Blast nozzles are an integral part of the Sponge-Jet system and choosing the right nozzle depends on the surface type, coating, desired finish, and air supply. Our knowledgeable team can supply and expertly advise on the most appropriate selection to ensure efficient, safe, and consistent surface preparation.
-
Yes! Because Sponge-Jets application eliminates harmful rebound and reduces dust and debris by 98%, it can safely be used in confined areas where traditional blasting would be disruptive and dangerous. It can be applied manually by operatives or in robotic format for areas that may be high risk or inaccessible.
-
Absolutely! Matom SpongeTech have a dedicated demonstration booth at our purpose-built facility in St Asaph, North Wales where you can see Sponge-Jet in action and have a hands-on experience. We also offer on-site demonstrations at your facility.
