What Is Dry Ice Blasting?

Dry ice blasting is a non-abrasive, eco-friendly cleaning method that uses solid CO2 (dry ice) pellets propelled by compressed air to remove contaminants. Upon impact, the pellets sublimate—turning directly from solid to gas—leaving no residue. This makes it ideal for industries like manufacturing, food processing, and aerospace, where cleanliness and precision are critical.

Key benefits include:

- Non-abrasive: Safe for delicate surfaces without scratching or etching.

- No secondary waste: Eliminates cleanup of blasting media.

- Eco-friendly: Uses recycled CO2, avoiding chemicals or water.
