Dry Ice Blasting
Dry Ice Blasting is a non-toxic, non-abrasive cleaning method that produces no secondary waste. It serves as a replacement for conventional cleaning methods that use water and are unsuitable for sensitive environments, while also offering a substitute for sand, bead, or soda blasting. Our trained technicians can clean high-value equipment efficiently and effectively, without the need for any water or solvents.
What is Dry Ice Blasting?
Sometimes known as dry ice cleaning, CO2 blasting or cryogenic cleaning, it is a non-abrasive, chemical-free cleaning method that uses dry ice pellets (solid carbon dioxide) accelerated at high speed to clean surfaces. The extreme cold of the dry ice combined with the force of impact effectively lifts and removes contaminants without damaging the underlying surface. Unlike traditional cleaning methods, dry ice blasting is non-abrasive, non-toxic and leaves no secondary waste, making it ideal for sensitive industrial environments.

- Is safe for electrical components since it doesn't use moisture
- Leaves no residue, as the dry ice sublimates on contact, turning back into gas
