Gentle Cleaning with Powerful Results

Dry Ice Cleaning, also known as dry ice blasting or CO2 blasting, is a highly effective and innovative cleaning method that utilizes solid carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets as a cleaning agent. It involves propelling these dry ice pellets at high velocities using compressed air to remove unwanted contaminants from various surfaces. Unlike traditional cleaning methods that use water, chemicals, or abrasive materials, dry ice cleaning is non-abrasive, non-conductive, and leaves behind no secondary waste, making it an environmentally friendly and efficient solution.

​

During the process, the dry ice pellets impact the surface being cleaned and rapidly sublimate (transition from solid to gas), creating a kinetic energy transfer that dislodges dirt, grime, grease, paint, rust, and other contaminants. The gas produced during sublimation helps lift these contaminants away from the surface, leaving it thoroughly cleaned without causing damage or leaving residue.

​

Dry ice cleaning is versatile and can be applied to a wide range of industries and applications. It is commonly used in automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, food processing, restoration, and various other sectors where precise and thorough cleaning is essential. Its ability to reach confined and intricate spaces, along with its gentle yet powerful cleaning action, makes dry ice cleaning a preferred choice for delicate components, sensitive electronics, and surfaces that are difficult to access using traditional methods.

​

This is a cutting-edge and environmentally responsible cleaning technique that employs the power of sublimation to efficiently remove contaminants from surfaces without causing damage or generating waste, making it a valuable solution for diverse cleaning challenges across multiple industries.

Why choose Dry Ice Blasting?


Clients often choose dry ice cleaning over sand blasting or chemical cleaning methods for several compelling reasons:

​

  1. Gentle Yet Effective: Dry ice cleaning is non-abrasive and non-destructive, making it an ideal choice for delicate surfaces, intricate components, and sensitive equipment. Unlike sand blasting, which can erode or damage substrates, and chemicals that may leave residue or react negatively with materials, dry ice cleaning offers a safe and precise cleaning process.
  2. Environmental Friendliness: Dry ice cleaning is an environmentally responsible choice. It doesn't involve the use of harmful chemicals or generate secondary waste, reducing the impact on the ecosystem. This contrasts with chemical cleaning, which can produce hazardous waste, and sand blasting, which generates airborne particulates that can be harmful to both the environment and human health.
  3. Reduced Downtime: Dry ice cleaning is a dry process, which means there's no need to wait for surfaces to dry after cleaning. This leads to significantly reduced downtime compared to chemical cleaning, where drying times can be lengthy. Additionally, sand blasting can require thorough cleanup afterward, leading to extended periods of inactivity.
  4. No Residue: Dry ice cleaning leaves no residue behind. Unlike chemical cleaning, where residues may require additional steps for removal, or sand blasting, which can leave abrasive remnants, dry ice cleaning results in a clean and residue-free surface that is ready for immediate use or further treatment.
  5. Precision Cleaning: Dry ice cleaning offers exceptional precision. The controlled and adjustable nature of the process allows for targeted cleaning, making it ideal for intricate machinery, electrical components, and detailed surfaces. Sand blasting can be less precise and may cause unintended damage, while chemicals might not be suitable for delicate components.
  6. Versatility: Dry ice cleaning is highly versatile and can be used on a wide range of surfaces and materials, from metals and plastics to ceramics and more. This adaptability makes it an excellent choice for diverse industries, whereas sand blasting might be limited by the materials involved, and chemicals may not be compatible with all surfaces.
  7. Worker Safety: Dry ice cleaning eliminates the need for harsh chemicals, reducing potential health hazards for workers. Unlike sand blasting, which can produce harmful dust and require protective gear, dry ice cleaning provides a safer working environment for cleaning crews.
