Dry Ice Cleaning

Innovative, efficient, and effective cleaning method

A wide range of industries around the world use dry ice blasting as a method for surface cleaning, surface preparation, and cleaning electrical cabinets. Since it produces no secondary waste and is non-conductive, non-abrasive, and non-toxic, dry ice cleaning is the preferred industrial solution for these applications. Dry ice cleaning is an efficient, time-saving method that reduces labor for surface preparation and cleaning, while fully complying with environmental regulations.

What Is Dry Ice Cleaning?

Dry ice blasting uses a material accelerated by a stream of compressed air. This process, also known as dry ice cleaning, is unique in that it utilizes pellets of solid carbon dioxide (CO₂) propelled at high speeds to effectively clean surfaces. Upon impact, the particles undergo sublimation, removing contaminants and debris from the substrate without causing damage.

Characteristics of the Dry Ice Cleaning Process:

• Non-abrasive

• Non-conductive

• Non-flammable

• Non-hazardous

• Environmentally friendly (eco-friendly)

No secondary waste is generated during dry ice blasting. When dry ice comes into contact with the surface being cleaned, it changes phase from solid CO₂ to gaseous CO₂.

Applications and Uses of Dry Ice Surface Cleaning

Dry ice cleaning is non-abrasive, non-toxic, and produces no secondary conductive waste. This technique is used across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications for cleaning various surfaces. Dry ice is an effective tool for surface cleaning, surface preparation, and cleaning electrical cabinets.

The intensity of dry ice cleaning can vary significantly—from very aggressive cleaning to extremely gentle cleaning. Soft alloys, electrical wiring, and sensors are just a few examples of sensitive and delicate surfaces that can be safely cleaned through precise control of compressed air pressure, dry ice feed rate, and dry ice particle size. In addition, this method can be used to remove tough and persistent contaminants such as rust and oxides.

Many contaminants, including oil, dust, fingerprints, and more, can be effectively removed using dry ice cleaning without risking damage to the surface. When preparing a surface for painting, dry ice cleaning is a dry method that eliminates the need for aqueous or chemical solutions. The surface remains completely dry after cleaning, allowing for rapid application of coatings and paint.
