Cleaning With Dry Ice

Learn how dry ice blast cleaning works

Dry Ice Blasting – Clean with cold

Dry ice blasting uses the frigid temperature of dry ice “exploding” against the contaminant causing it to shrink and lose its adhesion. Dry ice is -109°F or -78°C. 

Dry blast cleaning uses small pieces of dry ice the size of rice to shoot them out of a jet nozzle with compressed air. The nozzle’s unique shape can cause the particles to accelerate faster than the speed of sound before hitting the surface to be cleaned. (see energies-12-04787 for analysis)

Some dry ice blasting machines shave a dry ice block for softer blast cleaning material.

Dry ice is softer than sand or glass beads, so it does not damage the underlying surface. It works like sandblasting, high-pressure water, or steam blasting with often better results.

The combination of kinetic, thermal, and sublimation energy produces unparalleled results. The super cold temperature of the dry ice blasting against the material to be removed causes it to shrink and lose adhesion. Additionally, when some dry ice penetrates through the contaminated material and contacts the warmer underlying surface, it causes the dry ice to turn into a gas, expanding under the harmful material and speeding its removal.

How dry ice blasting works

Dry ice blasting does not create secondary waste or chemical residues and is

  • non-abrasive

  • non-conductive,

  • non-flammable,

  • and non-toxic.

It reduces personal contact with harmful chemicals and is an environmentally friendly cleaning method approved by the FDA, EPA, and USDA. Dry ice blasting can safely replace environmentally dangerous solvents and is less costly.

Before repainting old corroded flaking surfaces, dry ice blast cleaning is a better way to clean and prepare the surface for its new coating. The component is immediately available to paint – no waiting for drying or dangerous solvents to be removed.

Use a dry ice blaster to restore fire-damaged buildings and rooms – successfully removing the char and smoke damage to wood and other materials.

Many in-house uses for maintaining or cleaning equipment with dry ice blasters result in reduced downtime and higher annual production. The best solution may be an experienced professional contractor who can clean your equipment safely and quickly.

Start a new business or let your existing business meet more of your customer’s needs with dry ice blast cleaning. 

Before purchasing dry ice blast cleaning equipment that may cost anywhere from $15,000 to $50,000, consider renting. Also, some companies offer training for their equipment.
