Everything you need to know about industrial dry ice blasting.
Dry ice blasting uses solid CO₂ pellets accelerated through a pressurized nozzle to remove contaminants from surfaces. Upon impact, pellets sublimate (convert directly from solid to gas), lifting dirt and debris without leaving secondary waste or moisture.
Yes. Dry ice blasting is non-toxic, non-conductive, and produces no hazardous waste. Our certified technicians follow strict OSHA guidelines and industry-specific safety protocols. Proper ventilation and PPE are standard on every job site.
No. Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive when properly calibrated. Unlike sandblasting or wire brushing, it will not etch, pit, or alter the dimensions of most industrial surfaces including steel, aluminum, plastics, rubber, and composites.
Absolutely. Dry ice blasting is ideal for electrical panels, switchgear, motors, and generators because CO₂ is non-conductive and the process is completely dry. Equipment can often be cleaned while energized, eliminating costly shutdowns.
Automotive manufacturing, oil & gas, food processing, pharmaceutical, aerospace, power generation, marine, pulp & paper, and general manufacturing all use dry ice blasting for equipment maintenance, mold cleaning, fire restoration, and surface preparation.
Cost varies based on project scope, contamination severity, equipment accessibility, and location. We provide free on-site inspections and detailed quotes. Most clients find dry ice blasting cost-effective due to reduced downtime and eliminated disposal costs.
Unlike sandblasting, dry ice blasting produces zero secondary waste, is non-abrasive, requires no cleanup of blasting media, and is safe for sensitive equipment. It is also faster for many applications and eliminates the environmental concerns of abrasive media disposal.
