MaxxStrip™ is a pH neutral, water-soluble blasting abrasive. It has a bulk density of 90 lbs/cu.ft which is similar in weight to silica sand. The specific gravity is 2.6 Mohs and hardness is 3.5. The color is beige to almost white. MaxxStrip™ is sold in three basic size graduations: Fine (60-80 Mesh), Medium (40-60 Mesh), and Course (20-40 Mesh).

MaxxStrip™ is environmentally sound. It is easy to clean up and will not damage or kill vegetation.  It will not corrode copper, brass or aluminum substances.

MaxxStrip™ has worker safety in mind.  It is non-sparking, non-toxic, non-irritating, and silica free.  There are no solvents or caustic chemicals in MaxxStrip™.

MaxxStrip™is effective and quick.  It is the first soft abrasive that is capable of removing coatings, mill scale and medium to heavy rust scale without harming the substrate.  It is safe to use around rotating equipment, bearings and sliding mechanisms.  It cleans, removes paints and degreases in one step without shutting down process streams.  MaxxStrip™is being used in low, high, and ultra high water blasting systems.  Use of MaxxStrip™in these systems will result in much higher production rates than water only systems.

The MaxxStrip™ and SofStrip™ BLAST MEDIA are processed and blended water soluble abrasives that incorporate two hydrophobic (water repellant) flow aids for maximum shelf life and extended performance in pressure vessels. They are used extensively for general cleaning and paint removal in a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications. Both water soluble abrasives can be used in pneumatic systems and in low (500 PSI) to ultra high (40,000 PSI) water blast systems. Both are environmentally friendly and non sparking. Degreases and removes paint in one step. The MaxxStrip™ and SofStrip™ BLAST MEDIA are fast, cost effective methods for cleaning and surface preparation.
