The LE LEMATEC LEI-08-7 Soda Blasting Media is a professional-grade technical sodium bicarbonate engineered specifically for sandblasting applications. Unlike household baking soda, this precision-milled abrasive media features uniform particle distribution that prevents clogging and delivers consistent, gentle cleaning power for automotive restoration, machinery refurbishment, and delicate surface preparation.
Soda blasting is the preferred method when you need to remove coatings, rust, carbon deposits, and contaminants without damaging the underlying surface. Technical-grade sodium bicarbonate is softer than most substrates, making it safe for aluminum, chrome, fiberglass, glass, and even wood surfaces where harder abrasives like silicon carbide or aluminum oxide would cause damage.
Soda blasting media excels in automotive restoration (removing paint from body panels without warping), engine and transmission cleaning, carbon deposit removal from cylinder heads and pistons, mold and mildew remediation, graffiti removal, fire damage restoration, food processing equipment cleaning, and delicate antique restoration where surface preservation is critical.
Technical-grade soda blasting media is precision-milled to a specific particle size distribution optimized for sandblasting equipment. Household baking soda has inconsistent particle sizes that cause clogging and uneven results. Professional soda media also has lower moisture content for better flow characteristics.
Yes. This media is compatible with gravity-feed sandblasters, siphon-feed guns, pressure pots, and blast cabinets. It works with all standard air compressor systems and all LE LEMATEC sandblasting equipment.
Soda blasting is one of the gentlest abrasive methods available. It safely removes coatings from aluminum, fiberglass, chrome, glass, rubber, and wood without etching, warping, or pitting the surface. This makes it ideal for automotive body panels, engine parts, and delicate restoration work.
Depending on the application and blast pressure, technical-grade soda media can typically be reused 3-5 times by sifting through a fine mesh screen between uses. The media gradually breaks down with each cycle but remains effective for lighter cleaning passes.
This is a convenient 2.2 lb (1 kg) bag, perfect for small to medium restoration projects, engine cleaning, and workshop applications. For larger projects, multiple bags can be purchased.
Soda blasting uses sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) as an abrasive media for gentle surface cleaning. It removes paint, grease, carbon buildup, and oxidation without damaging the underlying surface. Ideal for classic car restoration, kitchen equipment, boat hulls, and delicate surfaces where aggressive media would cause damage.
No, regular baking soda has inconsistent particle sizes that can clog your sandblaster nozzle. This professional blasting-grade sodium bicarbonate is milled to a uniform particle size specifically designed for pneumatic sandblasters, ensuring consistent flow and even cleaning results.
The Le Lematec AS118 Soda Blaster is specifically designed for soda blasting media. The standard AS118 and AS118-2 sandblasters can also use soda media with proper nozzle adjustment. Use 60-90 PSI for best results with sodium bicarbonate.
For best results, set your soda blaster to 60-90 PSI and maintain a 6-8 inch nozzle distance from the work surface. Soda blasting media is ideal for delicate surfaces like fiberglass, chrome, aluminum, and painted surfaces where you need to remove coatings without damaging the substrate. Unlike aggressive abrasives, sodium bicarbonate is water-soluble — simply rinse the workpiece after blasting. Always use an inline air filter to keep moisture out of your media supply.
