About Dry Ice Blasting
What exactly is dry ice blasting?
Dry ice blasting is a powerful cleaning process that uses tiny pellets of solid CO₂ (dry ice), accelerated through compressed air, to remove dirt, grease, carbon, paint, coatings, oxidation, and other contaminants from surfaces.
The best part? The dry ice disappears on contact. It sublimates into CO₂ gas, leaving virtually no secondary blasting media behind.
How can it be used?
Dry ice blasting is incredibly versatile and can be used for:
Automotive & Restoration
• Engine compartments & components
• Undercarriages & suspension
• Transmissions & differentials
• Classic car restoration
• Removing grease, oil, dirt & undercoating
Industrial & Manufacturing
• Machinery & equipment
• Motors & electrical components
• Production equipment
• Conveyors & tooling
• Mold & manufacturing residue
Residential & Commercial
• Fire & smoke damage cleanup
• Mold remediation support
• Grease and grime removal
• Equipment & surface cleaning
• Restoration projects
Electrical & Mechanical
• Electrical components
• Motors & generators
• Control panels
• Mechanical equipment
• Sensitive components where water may be undesirable
Why choose dry ice blasting?
Non-abrasive – Cleans without damaging the underlying surface when properly applied
No water – Great for equipment and areas where moisture is a concern
No secondary media – The dry ice sublimates, dramatically reducing cleanup
Environmentally friendly – No blasting sand, glass, or chemical cleaning agents required
Chemical-free cleaning option – Helps reduce the need for harsh solvents
Fast & efficient – Clean while reducing disassembly and cleanup time in many applications
Reaches difficult areas – Excellent for cracks, crevices and intricate components
Non-conductive – Dry ice itself is non-conductive, making it useful for certain electrical applications when appropriate procedures are followed
Preserves original surfaces – Ideal for restoration and delicate components when the correct blasting parameters are used
Less mess – No water, slurry or piles of spent blasting media to dispose of
From classic cars to industrial equipment, dry ice blasting can clean where traditional methods simply can't.
