How does dry ice blasting work?
Introducing dry ice blasting, the revolutionary cleaning method that is transforming industries across the globe. This innovative technique utilises solid carbon dioxide, commonly known as dry ice, to effectively clean a wide range of surfaces. By harnessing the power of sublimation, dry ice blasts away dirt, grime, and contaminants without leaving any residue behind.
​
So, how does dry ice blasting work? It all starts with the conversion of dry ice from a solid state directly into gas when it comes into contact with the surface being cleaned. This process creates microscopic explosions that lift away unwanted substances, including grease, paint, adhesives, and even bacteria.
​
One of the key advantages of dry ice blasting is its non-abrasive nature. Unlike traditional cleaning methods, such as sandblasting or using chemicals, dry ice blasting does not damage the underlying surface. This makes it particularly useful for delicate equipment, machinery, and sensitive areas, such as electrical components.
​
Another benefit of dry ice blasting is that it is environmentally friendly. Since dry ice is made from reclaimed carbon dioxide, it does not contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, it does not generate any secondary waste, as the dry ice simply sublimates back to its gas like state after use.
​
The versatility of dry ice blasting is truly remarkable. It can be used in a wide range of industries. Our major customers are industry leaders in aerospace, automotive, food manufacturing and pharmaceuticals. Whether you need to remove contaminants from production equipment, restore historical artefacts, or clean industrial machinery, dry ice blasting is the solution you've been looking for.
