Questions About Dry Ice Blasting
How
does dry ice blasting work?
In basic terms we are
simply using the kinetic energy of the dry ice particles hitting the
target and relocating the contaminate. Unlike the chiseling effect of grit
blasting, dry ice creates a nonabrasive gas flushing action.
Why would I use dry ice cleaning instead of a traditional blasting media? Dry ice is typically used in applications where you would not want any left over media or where other types of media may cause damage i.e. sand, soda, water, etc. Also, in some applications dry ice is faster than current methods.
