Paint protects steel structures from corrosion. When performing maintenance on these structures, old paint and rust is removed, and new paint is applied.  With the use of traditional methods for maintenance, the removed paint is normally emitted to the oceans. Paint is plastic.  The removed, tiny paint particles are microplastics.

The future of surface preparation

Pinovo supplies innovative and patented technology for dust-free abrasive vacuum blasting of industrial surfaces, and offer:
- Zero emissions to the environment
- Recycling of the grit blasting media
- Reduced waste and CO2 emissions

​By performing continuous maintenance, preferably with rope access techniques, Pinovo can offer a cost-effective alternative to the current way of maintaining steel structures. ​Our ATEX-certified closed loop grit blasting technology (also known as vacuum blasting or dustless / dust-free blasting), helps our customers to save money, improve HSE and protect the environment, without compromising on surface quality.

 "If the welded areas had been sandblasted the ordinary way, we would probably have used six, not two days, on this job"
