How does the method work?
Dry ice blasting, also known as carbon dioxide blasting, uses small solid compact carbon dioxide or dry ice pellets as the blasting material to remove unwanted coatings and keep equipment clean. Unlike other blasting methods, dry ice vaporizes on contact with the surface, leaving only the debris which can be removed easily.

How is the technology different from traditional ways of cleaning?
Dry ice pellets used as the blasting material are about the size of rice grains. They are accelerated in a jet of compressed air similar to that in traditional methods. The dry ice pellets are shot to the surface of the equipment at the speed of sound for cracking the coating. The low temperature of the pellets makes the coating brittle causing it to loosen and be removed from the surface. The pressure of the blasting is controlled depending on the surface and the type of coatings to be removed.
