BOI offers our customers equipment, facilities, and personnel to research and develop coatings removal and coatings application technology. Whether the process is Plastic Media, Wheat Starch, Water Blast, Bicarbonate of Soda, Chemical Strippers or Chemical Softeners, BOI can perform the R&D. Current R&D contracts include the US Air Force F-117A aircraft. BOI is a leader in nozzle technology. BOI and US Air Force engineers have developed a new generation blast nozzle. This widespray fan nozzle has proven to remove up to 5 times more paint than a conventional number 8 round nozzle, while lowering the amount of residual stress on the aircraft skins being blasted. The fan nozzle can safelty remove coatings from composite surfaces one layer at a time, by changing the blast parameters. BOI engineers incorporate user friendly ergonomically designed deadman controls to reduce operator stress and improve production.
