Dry Ice Blasting

Gone are the days of labor-intensive sanding and wiping. Now departed are also the days of sand and soda blasting, which both produced great results, but left behind messy blasting media. The Restoration Industry is constantly seeing advances in technology and equipment. Dry Ice Blasting is one such advancement that is revolutionizing cleaning and remediation.

Dry ice blasting is a form of abrasive blasting, where dry ice, the solid form of carbon dioxide, is accelerated in a pressurized air stream and directed at a surface in order to clean it. This technology can be used to clean or remove residue from an array of hard materials. Dry Ice Blasting is similar to sand or soda blasting, except dry ice can turn from a solid directly into a gas thus eliminating a large part of the clean-up.  Dry Ice is also softer on the material that is blasted.  

How does dry ice blasting work?

• Air compressor at 375 CFM used to propel pellets
• 3x more powerful than a compressor used for a jack hammer
• Dry ice pellets, cylindrical in shape
• Impact on target surface Freezes and knocks off contaminant

Dry ice blasting advantages.

• Can be used in tight spots, around nails, joists, etc.
• Will not harm wires or plumbing
• No water damage
• Kills organic contaminants
