UHP Water Blasting services

Elips Marine offers advanced UHP (Ultra-High Pressure) Water Blasting Services that provide an efficient, environmentally friendly solution for cleaning and surface preparation. UHP water blasting is one of the most effective methods for removing tough contaminants, coatings, and rust from your vessel’s surfaces, ensuring optimal maintenance and preparation for further treatment.

What is UHP Water Blasting?

UHP water blasting involves the use of ultra-high-pressure water jets, typically above 25,000 PSI, to clean and prepare surfaces. This technique is incredibly powerful, capable of stripping away layers of paint, rust, and other contaminants without the use of chemicals or abrasive materials. It is particularly effective for preparing surfaces for recoating, maintaining structural integrity, and ensuring long-term protection against corrosion.

Key Advantages of UHP Water Blasting

UHP water blasting offers numerous advantages over traditional cleaning and preparation methods, making it the preferred choice for many maritime applications:

Environmentally Friendly

One of the primary benefits of UHP water blasting is its minimal environmental impact. Since it uses only water, there are no harmful chemicals or abrasive materials involved, making it a clean and green solution for surface preparation. The absence of abrasive materials also means there’s no secondary waste, reducing the need for extensive cleanup.

Superior Surface Preparation

UHP water blasting provides a superior level of surface preparation. It not only cleans the surface but also creates an ideal profile for coating application. This enhances the adhesion and durability of subsequent coatings, ensuring long-lasting protection for your vessel.

Safe and Non-Destructive

While UHP water blasting is powerful enough to remove tough contaminants, it is also gentle on the underlying substrate. This makes it ideal for delicate surfaces where traditional abrasive blasting might cause damage. Additionally, it significantly reduces the risk of sparking, making it a safer option for hazardous environments.

Versatile Applications

UHP water blasting is versatile and can be used on a wide range of surfaces, including steel, aluminum, and composite materials. It is effective for cleaning hulls, tanks, cargo holds, and other critical areas of your vessel. Whether you need to remove marine growth, old coatings, or corrosion, UHP water blasting provides a reliable solution.
