We have concluded with our growing list of satisfied customers that dry ice blasting has become the preferred method for industrial cleaning and is a value added process. It is safe and environmentally friendly.
Dry ice is CO2 (carbon dioxide) in its solid state. It does not melt, but changes directly from a solid to a gas, known technically as sublimation. When breathing, our bodies use oxygen from the air and we exhale CO2, vegetation uses carbon dioxide and gives us back oxygen.
Winters in Minnesota are sometimes extremely cold, but, we have never recorded a temperature of minus 109F, the temperature of dry ice.
Thermal shock and the frigid temperature helps in the removal of many materials used in industrial applications and processes. Resins, grease and liquids often have a measurable viscosity in normal conditions. These materials can solidify and become brittle during the blasting process, making removal much easier.
There is no liquid to carry contamination into the soil or drainage systems. It leaves no secondary waste stream behind, no water, abrasive blast media or chemicals.
With conventional industrial cleaning methods the volume of waste is magnified by the media used. If hazardous materials are involved, the added volume of contaminated blast media is treated as the hazardous material itself. Increasing labor, transportation and disposal costs.
Not so with dry ice blasting, there is nothing added. Nor is there employee exposure to added hazardous industrial chemicals, solvents or solutions.

This method of blasting is used to clean industrial equipment, facilities, machinery etc. of unwanted contaminates. Dry ice blasting is not abrasive. The process does not leave a blasting profile on metal surfaces. A surface that's polished prior to blasting will maintain its original polish.
