Dry Ice Blasting.....

john111 · 11-27-2007, 06:15 AM

Hi everyone. I am an engineering student. I read something called dry ice blasting while browsing net. Well I don’t know why, but I am curious to know about it. I know about traditional labor intensive methods like scrapers, wire brushes, sand blasting and pressure washing. I know dry ice is basically solid form of CO2, but I have no clue about this dry ice blasting.
Can somebody throw some light on this or at least suggest some site where I can find some info on this.

Yeah sure. That's exactly what it does "traditional labor intensive methods like scrapers, wire brushes, sand blasting and pressure washing."
It's mainly used in the Industrial community i.e. Food Processing, Plastics Manufacturing, Nuclear Plants etc. - used anywhere you don't want chemicals, water, sand (potential damaging media to equipment) etc.
Dry Ice sublimates back to CO2 after it reacts with the substrate you're cleaning - no mess. As well, there's no moisture involved so you can clean electrical boxes/panels.

I personally do a lot of Mould Remediation jobs with it as well as Fire Restoration. Works amazing for Mould! mould is gold...
