CALCIUM CARBONATE

GENTLE WITH NO SALTS = ARCHITECT APPROVED!

Classified as a soft media, ESCA offers Calcium Carbonate Blast Media in two different forms – Ground Calcium Carbonate and ocean-sourced Pearl Blast aka Oolitic Calcium Carbonate. This particular blast media is perfect for stone or masonry cleaning as well as restoration projects. It is odorless, landscape and operator-safe, rinses away quickly and has a proven track record.

LEARN THE DIFFERENCE!

Because it contains no salts, it won’t trigger or cause any efflorescence reaction. In addition, its soft nature won’t harm delicate surfaces while removing most soiling conditions such as carbon deposits, atmospheric pollution, and soot.  It’s the best choice for use on building materials like granite, marble, masonry, brick, and limestone, as its chemical structure is identical to them. We consider this media “architect-approved”!

Oolitic Calcium Carbonate is one of the world’s purest forms of the ocean’s naturally precipitated calcium carbonate. It is renewable, biogenic, sustainably sourced, and has a different morphological structure than traditional ground calcium carbonate. It has egg-shaped crystals which form during natural precipitation events called ‘whitings.’  It is tasteless, odorless, and most importantly non-polluting.
