However, if you do find a contractor in your area, does that mean you’re out of luck? Of course not — there is plenty of work to go around. Imagine if every town only had one painter, for example. He wouldn’t be able to handle all the work himself. It’s the same with Dustless Blasting.

We found that when people used the phrase “Dustless Blasting” in their business name, it got a little confusing for their potential customers.

We spend millions on having a large and established online presence, so when someone searches for “Dustless Blasting,” they’re more likely to find us, rather than their local provider who shares a nearly identical name. We don’t want to take away business from the small local guys, so having that guideline in place helps everybody.

Of course, you can say things like “we use Dustless Blasting equipment” or “we provide Dustless Blasting services.” The only place you can’t use the words is in your actual business name!

We recommend using 40/70 recycled bottle glass as an abrasive, which is chemically inert, environmentally friendly and contain less than 1% free silica.

Traditional sandblasting can create hazardous dust levels, and release toxic metals that may be generated from both the blasting material and the underlying substrate and coatings being blasted.

Because Dustless Blasting suppresses dust and grounds the abrasive and material being removed, it does not pose the same risks.

The Dustless Blasting® process is far safer and cleaner than traditional blasting methods. However, we do recommend (at a minimum):

• Eye protection, such as a face shield or safety glasses
• Hand protection, such as leather gloves
• Ear protection, such as earplugs or earmuffs

The Nova3® Respirator is the best way to stay safe and comfortable while blasting. The included climate control module can provide supplied air that is 20 degrees above or below the ambient temperature.

Learning to use the Dustless Blaster is simple, and only takes about 5 minutes. We're always happy to have people stop by and demo our machines. If you pick up your machine in Houston, you can receive hands-on training
