Sodium Bicarbonate has unique characteristics that make it possible to remove contaminants from a part surface with minimal to no disruption of the component substrate. ARMEX offers multiple formulas for varying applications
SODIUM
BICARBONATE
BLAST ABRASIVE
"SODA BLAST"
Sodium Bicarbonate has many uses in the cleaning and rebuilding industries. Due to its very low hardness, the particles will scour surfaces while leaving most substrates untouched and ready for secondary operations. Because of Sodium Bicarbonate's water solubility properties, media will not be left behind in critical areas or contaminate delicate environments.

RESOURCES
Maintenance XL
Formulated using our largest "XL" crystals and our standard moisture control system, MoistureGuard™ 2, absorbing moisture before can cause flow problems. The "XL" crystals are the most aggressive and ideal for most paint removal applications.
General purpose surface preparation and coatings removal

Maintenance XL
with SupraKleen
Has all the features of Maintenance XL with the added benefit of our patented rinse accelerator which improves cleaning capabilities, simplifies clean-up and provides a cleaner surface which is fundamental to maximizing coating performance.
Coatings removal for new coating

(270 Micron)
Maintenance
Maintenance Formula is 170 micron sized crystal and is appropriate for mold restoration, fire cleaning, and most cleaning or paint removal applications. Formulated using our medium sized crystals and our standard moisture control system, MoistureGuard™ 2, which absorbs moisture before it can create flow problems.
General Purpose, fire and mold restoration for wood framing

HydroFlex XL
Designed specifically for use with pressure washers and associated injection systems. HydroFlex combines our largest crystals and standard moisture control system with our patented grease and oil removal technology which encapsulates soils lifting them from the surface so they are completely removed during rinsing.
Heavy duty cleaning, carbon, grease and oil removal, animal, vegetable or petrochemical
70
(270 Micron)
Composite
Utilizes our smallest sodium bicarbonate crystal with our premium moisture control system. For use on the most delicate substrates like graphite-epoxy or fiberglass to minimize the potential for damage and to provide a smooth surface finish.
For use on sensitive, thin or composite materials with thin coatings, or for use in Microblasting equipment

(70 Micron)
Electronics P
Made with our smallest crystals, it contains no flow aid, but is premium packaged for flowability with a desiccant. This formula receives a final screening just prior to being packaged to eliminate finer particles. Designed specifically for micro-abrasive blasters it is packaged conveniently in a 37.5 lb Mylar® bag inside a cardboard box.
For use through microblasting equipment on electronic components, or on medical devices. Containing no flow aid and packaged in a Mylar® bag and carton with desiccant
