Aerojet specializes in revolutionary surface- preparation and cleaning technology.JONESBOROUGH, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 1995--Aerojet, a segment of GenCorp, Thursday announced that its Tennessee Operations has converted its extensive experience in radioactive-material handling into a strong position in the environmental-services market. The cornerstone of this market is the Soft Recyclable Media System -- a revolutionary surface-preparation and cleaning system for which Aerojet is an official licensee. The Soft Recyclable Media System removes and absorbs low-level radioactive surface contaminants, oil, scales, greases, PCBs, paint, soot soot, black or dull brown deposit of fine powder resulting from incomplete combustion of fuel of high carbon content, e.g., coal, wood, and oil. It consists chiefly of amorphous carbon and tarry substances that cause it to adhere to surfaces. , lead, graphite, rust and asbestos from metals, concrete, wood and graphite. The heart of the system is a soft, fiber-based media that is manufactured in various grades of abrasiveness to ensure the proper balance for each application. ``We have used this system successfully on several jobs over the past few years and have proven that the Soft Recyclable Media System is technically superior to other cleaning methods,'' said Curtis Burnette, vice president of Aerojet's Tennessee Operations. ``It is also cost-efficient and can be used without hazard to workers, the community or the environment.'' Since the fiber media can be recycled on the job site, Aerojet's Soft Recyclable Media System reduces media costs by 60 percent over alternative cleaning technologies. It also reduces media-disposal costs by 80 percent by decreasing the disposal volume of the media itself as well as the material it cleans.
