About Dry Ice
Why Dry Ice?
-
Environmentally Friendly
Unlike traditional methods that use harsh chemicals, dry ice cleaning is environmentally friendly because it doesn't produce any secondary waste. Dry ice sublimates (turns into gas) upon impact, leaving behind no residue or toxic chemicals.
-
Non-Abrasive
Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive, making it safe for delicate automotive surfaces such as paint, chrome, and glass. It effectively removes dirt, grease, oil, and other contaminants without causing damage.
-
Efficient
Dry ice blasting is a highly efficient cleaning method that can save time and labor costs. It can clean intricate automotive parts, including engine components, without disassembly, reducing downtime.
-
No Water or Chemicals
Since dry ice blasting uses solid CO2 pellets, there's no need for water or chemicals, making it a dry process. This eliminates concerns about corrosion, rust, or water damage to electronic components.
-
Versatile
Dry ice blasting can be used for various automotive applications, including removing adhesives, decals, undercoating, and surface preparation for painting or coating.
How It Works
-
1. KINETIC ENERGY
The impact velocity of dry ice pellets on a contaminated surface can exceed even the speed of sound.
-
2. THERMAL SHOCK
Contaminated layers become brittle after rapid cooling and are gradually released from the cleaned surface.
-
3. SUBLIMATION
After contact with the contaminated surface, the pellets change their physical state and become a vapour, perfectly removing any contamination
