What is dry ice blasting?<\/h2>

Dry ice blasting<\/a><\/span><\/span> is an innovative and environmentally friendly cleaning technology that uses solid<\/strong> carbon dioxide (CO2) particles, commonly known as dry ice<\/a><\/span><\/span>, as a cleaning agent. These particles are propelled<\/strong> at high speed onto the surfaces to be cleaned thanks to a pneumatic spraying system. Upon impact, the dry ice undergoes instantaneous<\/strong> sublimation<\/strong>, passing directly from a solid to a gaseous state<\/strong> without passing through a liquid state. This phenomenon creates a thermal shock on the contaminated surface, which allows the dirt particles or layers to be detached<\/strong> without damaging<\/strong> the substrate. <\/p>\n

This process is extremely effective in removing various types of contaminants, such as greases<\/strong>, oils, waxes<\/strong>, production residues<\/strong>, and even some coatings<\/strong> without requiring the use of chemical solvents, water, or abrasive methods. It is therefore particularly suitable for cleaning sensitive parts or in environments where the use of water is prohibited or undesirable.<\/p>\n

The speed at which the dry ice pellets are propelled depends largely on the system<\/strong> used, as well as several adjustable parameters such as pressure, air volume, and nozzle type. In general, dry ice blasting systems can be classified into two main categories based on their design and projection speed: <\/p>\n
