Blasting
applications for
ABATEMENT & Remediation
Lead paint, asbestos coatings, and PCB-contaminated surfaces present serious health and safety risks. Effective removal requires methods that minimize hazardous dust while providing thorough surface preparation. We offer wet abrasive blasting solutions — including ClearBlast and ECO-Flex systems — designed to safely and efficiently handle environmental abatement projects while supporting EPA and OSHA compliance
Why Use Abrasive Blasting for Abatement & Remediation?
Traditional dry blasting, sanding, or grinding can release toxic particles into the air, creating major hazards for workers and surrounding areas. Wet abrasive blasting combines water and media to suppress up to 92% of airborne dust, keeping dangerous contaminants contained and controlled.
Lead Paint Removal
Safely strips lead-based coatings from steel, concrete, brick, and wood. Wet blasting reduces airborne lead dust, making abatement safer and cleaner while preparing surfaces for repainting or restoration.
Asbestos Abatement
Removes asbestos-containing coatings and fireproofing materials without the high fiber release associated with dry methods. Wet abrasive blasting provides a compliant, controlled solution that reduces exposure risk for operators.
PCB Surface Abatement
Used for surfaces that contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in paint, caulks & industrial coatings. Wet blasting aligns with EPA recommendations for dust suppression, containment & waste collection.
Dust-Controlled
Wet blasting minimizes up to 92% of hazardous dust, which supports EPA and OSHA safe work practices. Our equipment is also compatible with eco-friendly media for further reduced environmental impact.

What is the safest method for lead paint removal?
Wet abrasive blasting is widely recognized as the safest and most effective method for lead paint removal. By combining water with abrasive, systems like ClearBlast and ECO-Flex reduce up to 92% of dust emissions compared to dry blasting, helping contractors meet EPA and OSHA compliance standards.
Can abrasive blasting be used in asbestos abatement?
Yes. Wet abrasive blasting is an approved abatement method for removing asbestos-containing coatings and fireproofing materials. The water suppresses asbestos fibers, reducing airborne hazards while providing efficient surface preparation for remediation projects.
How can abrasive blasting help in PCB abatement?
PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) are highly toxic and tightly regulated. EPA guidance discourages sanding, grinding, or dry blasting because of dust hazards. Wet abrasive blasting aligns with EPA recommendations by suppressing dust, keeping contaminants contained, and supporting safe waste collection and disposal.
What blast media should be used for abatement and remediation?
Contact Eclipse for guidance on media compatibility with ClearBlast and ECO-Flex equipment. Final media selection should account for the substrate, coating and project requirements.
How do Eclipse blasting systems support compliance?
ClearBlast and ECO-Flex systems use water to help suppress dust during blasting. Eclipse can provide guidance on equipment selection and operation as part of the contractor’s broader abatement and remediation plan.
