Dry Ice Blasting
Dry ice/cryogenic blasting has been successfully utilized for many different types of industrial cleaning: manufacturing equipment, welding equipment, containment tanks, printing presses, hulls, boiler tubes, process equipment and more. This type of cleaning utilizes pressurized air and dry ice to dislodge surface contaminants. The principle involved in this maintenance process is to dislodge surface contaminants through the force of frozen carbon dioxide particles hitting the contaminants with high velocity, causing slight shrinkage of the contaminants which results in a disruption of adhesion bonds to the surface. This type of cleaning process is completely safe around electrical equipment and panels as it does not employ water in the cleaning process. The dry ice simply evaporates upon contact.
