What is Dry Ice Blasting?

Dry Ice Blasting is a cleaning technique where dry ice crystals are blasted on to a dry surface to be cleaned. With this method of cleaning, ice crystals evaporate into gas almost immediately, there is no wet leftover residue and there are certainly no unpleasant odors left behind.

The dry ice creates a micro-thermal shock which breaks up any grime or dirt. The high pressure air stream removes the dirt from the surface, while the dry ice pellets vaporize, only excess debris is left to be wiped away.
