DRY ICE BLASTING
AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY SOLUTION TO SURFACE CLEANING

Dry ice blasting is an environmentally friendly coating removal solution which uses a solid form of carbon dioxide to strip unwanted paint, rust and other coating layers without damaging the surface material underneath.

Due its unique characteristics, dry ice blasting is an ideal cleaning and removal solution in a number different types of industries.

In the automotive and aerospace industry, it is used to prepare surfaces on components such as brake components, landing gear and windshield and body sealants. Another common industry it is used in is the food & drink industry and can be used to remove existing coatings from a whole host of components including bakery molds, conveyors, drip pans, flour sifters, mixers and ovens.
