The surface treatment of industrial, infrastructure, and marine assets should not release any paint microplastics or grit into the air.
Paint is taken off of a surface when it is treated or maintained. Open grit blasting and water jet blasting are the most common ways to keep a surface in good shape. They break up old paint into tiny pieces of plastic called microplastics. If these microplastics aren’t collected (and most of the time, they aren’t with the old systems! ), they end up in the environment. The Pinovo system offers a way to deal with this problem by removing paint and rust from corroded steel surfaces without releasing microplastics. Inside the tools, the surface to be treated is hit quickly by grit. The old paint and rust are then sucked back into the system by a vacuum. They stay in a closed loop and aren’t let out into the environment. The grit is reused 10 to 20 times after being recycled. After being treated, the surface is smoother and ready for the new coating. In this way, Pinovo’s circular system stops the traditional open grit blasting and water jet blasting methods from polluting the oceans with paint microplastics. This meets the goals of SDG14.1.
