What is Dry Ice Blasting?
Dry ice blasting is an innovative cleaning method that uses solid CO2, known as dry ice pellets, as the blasting medium. Unlike traditional cleaning methods that involve water, chemicals, or abrasive materials, dry ice blasting is non-toxic, non-conductive, and leaves no residue. This technique is environmentally friendly and highly effective in removing contaminants without damaging the underlying surface.
How Does It Work??
The process of dry ice blasting involves propelling dry ice pellets at high speeds using compressed air. Upon contact with the surface being cleaned, the dry ice pellets sublimate, transitioning directly from a solid to a gas. This sublimation process creates a micro-explosion on the surface, which dislodges dirt, grease, paint, or other contaminants. The dry ice then evaporates, leaving behind no secondary waste, only the dislodged material, which can be easily swept or vacuumed away.

Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting
Non-Abrasive: Safely cleans surfaces without causing damage, preserving the integrity of critical equipment.
No Secondary Waste: Sublimation of dry ice means there’s no additional waste to clean up, apart from the dislodged material.
Environmentally Friendly: Uses no water, chemicals, or solvents, making it a green cleaning solution.
Increased Efficiency: Reduces cleaning time and equipment downtime, as many items can be cleaned in place without disassembly.
