Some Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is dry ice blasting?
A: Dry ice blasting is a cleaning technique that uses compressed air to propel dry ice pellets at high speed toward a contaminated surface. The impact of the dry ice pellets, combined with the rapid temperature drop, removes the contaminants without damaging the surface underneath. This method is effective for a variety of cleaning applications, including industrial equipment, food processing facilities, and historical restoration.
Q: How does dry ice blasting work?
A: Dry ice blasting works through a process called sublimation, where dry ice pellets convert directly from solid to gas upon impact. When the pellets hit the surface, the extreme cold (-78.5°C or -109.3°F) causes the contaminants to become brittle and shrink, leading to their removal. The pellets then turn into CO2 gas, leaving no residue behind, which makes it a clean and environmentally friendly option.
Q: Will dry ice blasting remove paint?
A: Yes, dry ice blasting can effectively remove paint from a variety of surfaces. The process works by using compressed air to propel dry ice pellets at high speeds onto the painted surface. Upon impact, the extreme cold of the dry ice (-78.5°C or -109.3°F) causes the paint to become brittle and crack. The force of the pellets then dislodges the paint from the surface.
