When you need to remove unwanted coatings or contaminants from a workpiece to undergo further processing, a water jetting system from NLB could be the optimal surface preparation solution. Capable of safely blasting water at incredibly high pressures, our process quickly cleans without damaging the substrate material.
This surface preparation technique leverages ultra-high-pressure water to remove various unwanted paints, coatings, rust, and impurities from a cement surface. When blasted onto the workpiece, the pure and chloride-free water leaves behind an ultra-clean, rust-free surface.

Removing rust, scale, and coatings on cement surfaces with grit blasting requires containment and clean-up, which can significantly impact profitability. For contractors doing environmental remediation – removing asbestos or lead paint, for example – the containment issue is even more critical.
NLB water jetting quickly removes coatings, rust, and other tough adherents without the hazards of grit blasting. The resulting surface meets or exceeds all recognized standards (including the WJ-1 or “white metal” specification of NACE No. 5, SSPCSP-12, and SIS Sa 3). Water jetting solutions for surface preparation are also the only way to meet the SC-2 standard for removing soluble salts, which hamper adhesion and often lead to coating failure. During grit blasting, these salts are often trapped in cavities within the metal. But ultra-high pressure (up to 40,000 psi, or 2,800 bar) water jetting cleans deeply enough to prevent these invisible “corrosion cells” from forming and even restores the surface’s original profile.
NLB’s HydroPrep® system gives you the productivity of grit blasting without expense, hazards, and clean-up problems. Water jet coating removal with a vacuum recovery feature simplifies disposal and leaves a clean, dry surface — free of flash rusting and ready to recoat.
When your project involves large, vertical surfaces, you need NLB’s versatile HydroPrep® system. It features a rugged Ultra-Clean 40® pump unit, vacuum recovery of wastewater and debris, plus the specific accessories you need for manual or automated work.
Considering all the factors, NLB’s HydroPrep® system consistently outperforms grit blasting. In addition to achieving a quality cement surface, water jetting:
In the modern business climate, environmental stewardship is essential. Hydro-blasting surface preparation has been shown to have minimal impact on surrounding areas. Plus, there’s no air pollution and significantly less waste disposal.
When you need to cut through grime, coatings, and rust, NLB Corp. has you covered. As a leading manufacturer of water jetting systems since 1971, we offer a wide range of ultra-high-pressure hydro blasting surface preparation solutions. We also provide customized systems built from NLB pumps, units, accessories, and parts.
Preparing a surface with abrasive grit requires containment and clean-up, which reduces turnaround time and profitability. Those are non-issues with a water jetting system.
The process quickly removes coatings, rust, and other tough adherents without the hazards of grit blasting. The resulting surface meets or exceeds all recognized standards, such as the WJ-1 specification of NACE No. 5, SSPCSP-12, and SIS Sa 3. Water jetting for surface preparation is also the only way to meet the SC-2 standard for removing soluble salts, which hinder adhesion and may trigger coating failure.
With in-house engineering, manufacturing, and customer support, NLB Corporation is with you from start to finish. Moreover, we also offer refurbished units and rental services for those who favor hydro-blasting surface preparation but may not want to commit to a new purchase.
That’s why we’re the preferred water jetting system provider for contractors and operations professionals worldwide. We want to be your first choice, too.
