Dry ice blasting, also known as CO2 blasting or cryogenic blasting, is an innovative cleaning method that utilizes solid carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets as the blasting media. Unlike traditional abrasive blasting methods, dry ice blasting is non-abrasive, non-conductive, and non-toxic, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial cleaning applications.
In dry ice blasting, compressed air propels small pellets of solid CO2 at high velocity onto the surface to be cleaned. Upon impact, the dry ice pellets rapidly sublimate (convert from a solid to a gas), creating mini-explosions that effectively lift and remove contaminants from the surface. The force of the pellets and the thermal shock from the sublimation process break the bond between the substrate and the contaminants, resulting in a thorough and efficient cleaning process.
Dry ice blasting is a cleaning method that utilizes solid carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets propelled at high velocity to remove contaminants from surfaces.
Dry ice pellets are accelerated by compressed air and directed at the surface to be cleaned. Upon impact, the pellets sublimate (convert from solid to gas), creating mini-explosions that lift and remove contaminants.
Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive, non-conductive, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. It is versatile, efficient, and cost-effective, suitable for various industries and applications.
Yes, dry ice blasting is gentle on surfaces and can be safely used on delicate equipment, electrical components, historical artifacts, and sensitive materials without causing damage.
