Dry Ice Blasting Questions

Below are some common questions about dry ice blasting

What is dry ice blasting?

Dry ice blasting is an eco-friendly cleaning process that uses compressed air to propel dry ice pellets at high speed. The pellets remove dirt, grease, and contaminants from surfaces without damage or residue.

How does dry ice blasting work?

The dry ice pellets impact the surface, causing contaminants to lift away as the dry ice sublimates (turns from solid to gas). This process is non-abrasive, leaving no secondary waste.

What are the benefits of dry ice blasting?

✅ No chemicals or water – environmentally friendly
✅ Non-abrasive – safe for delicate surfaces equipment
✅ Faster turnaround – reduces downtime for businesses
✅ Safe for electrical components and sensitive equipment
✅ Versatile Cleaning - from intricate wiring to removal of tough asphalt
