What is Dry Ice Blasting?
Environmentally friendly alternative to sand blasting or harsh chemicals with no secondary waste.
Dry ice blasting is similar to sand blasting, plastic bead blasting, or soda blasting where a medium is accelerated in a pressurized air stream to impact a surface to be cleaned or prepared. But thats where the similarity ends.
Instead of using hard abrasive media to grind on a surface (and damage it), dry ice blasting uses soft dry ice, accelerated at supersonic speeds, and creates mini-explosions on the surface to lift the undesirable item off the underlying substrate. Dry ice blasting has many unique and superior benefits over traditional blasting media.

it is a non-abrasive, nonflammable and nonconductive cleaning method
it is environmentally-friendly and contains no secondary contaminants such as solvents or grit media
it is clean and approved for use in the food industry
it allows most items to be cleaned in place without time- consuming disassembly
it can be used without damaging active electrical or mechanical parts or creating fire hazards
it can be used to remove production residues, release agents, contaminants, paints, oils and biofilms
it can be as gentle as dusting smoke damage from books or as aggressive as removing weld slag from tooling
it can be used for many general cleaning applications

Environmental Facts about Dry Ice Blasting
Did you know... Dry Ice Blasting is Clean and Safe
Dry ice blasting has been approved by the EPA, FDA, and USDA as an acceptable cleaning method
Dry ice blasting is safe to use with food processing equipment
Dry ice blasting does not release harmful gases into the atmosphere
Dry ice blasting does not generate secondary waste
Dry ice blasting is safe and non-toxic (once pellets impact the surface they dissipate into the atmosphere)
Dry ice blasting reduces or eliminates employee exposure to (and corporate liability from) the use of dangerous chemical cleaning agents
Other cleaning methods can be toxic
Sand, soda, or water blasting can leave toxic secondary waste to be cleaned up in addition to the toxic substrate
Sand, soda, or water blasting can create downstream contamination that effects surrounding installations
Soda blasting can kill surrounding vegetation
Chemical and solvent cleaning methods are toxic, which creates toxic waste to be disposed of
Workers are exposed to potentially harmful substances through the use of chemicals and solvents
Completely Environmentally Friendly
In addition to being clean and safe, it is also important to remember that dry ice is obtained as a byproduct of other industrial processes - i.e. it is made from reclaimed CO2. It does not produce CO2 or add CO2 to the atmosphere and therefore does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
Dry ice blasting is truly, and completely, environmentally friendly!
