Removing Chrorinated Rubber from a Warehouse?

[Luis Orts]

I've got a customer who wants to remove roughly 1k linear feet of roughly 1/2" chlorinated rubber...

I was thinking to bead or sandblast it, but was just curious if you guys have ever been able to pressure wash in a situation like this?

What type Luis? Butyl, epoxy.... What do they manufacture with the product? Pool paint, Tire liners,....?

 

[Luis Orts]

Totally forgot to put chlorinated rubber (PAINT)

Sorry about that my man

Curious to know if pressure washing is even an option for removing such a thick paint inside a warehouse? Hmmm...

 

[Luis Orts]

Anyone?

 

[Luis Orts]

Cold turkey.

There are a couple more I found that may help, but it seems that this is a specialized service let me know if you want the rest I couldn't pull them up on my phone. There was a product I found that may help, but I have it on my computer at work.

A shot blaster will not work on rubber coatings

You need a 36,000 plus psi Hydroblaster the friction generated creates hot water 160 degrees from the pump

What are they looking to pay?

Just curious I have 2 40k hydroblasters with floor blaster tools. Shot blasters bounce off rubber and groove the substrate badly, you could blast it with glass but have a big clean up, hydroblasting is the way to go.
