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: Can I perform dry ice blasting myself, or should I hire a professional?
A: While it’s possible to rent equipment and perform dry ice blasting yourself, it is generally recommended to hire a professional. Professionals have the experience and knowledge to handle the equipment safely and effectively, ensuring optimal results and minimizing risks
