1. What is Dry
Ice Blasting?

2. •
•
Dry ice blasting, also known as
C02 Blasting and Cryogenic
Blasting, is an industrial cleaning
method for various types of
equipment and machinery
It uses compressed air to
accelerate frozen C02 pellets at
high velocities to effectively strip
and clean different types of
surfaces

3. •
•
Dry ice blasting works
through:
•
•
•
Pellet kinetic energy
Thermal shock effect
Thermal-kinetic effect
For optimal results all three
of these effects must be
combined and adjusted
based on the application.

4. •
•
Pellet kinetic energy is a direct
product of the pellet mass and
velocity over a set period of time.
The specially designed nozzles
allow for the greatest impact force
possible, thus providing the
greatest amount of kinetic energy

5. •
•
Although these pellets are being
shot out at supersonic speeds, the
effect of the pellet is minimal in
relation to other materials used in
the industry such as
•
•
•
Grit
Sand
PMB
This softness exhibited by the
pellets not only makes it ideal for
preparation and removal
applications.

6. •
•
•
The thermal shock effect
occurs due to sublimation of
the C02 pellet upon impact.
Since the pellet is changing
from a solid to gas upon
impact, heat is being
absorbed due to the latent
heat of the sublimation
process.
This rapid transfer of heat
produces high shear stresses.
•
These stresses eventually cause
rapid micro-cracks propagation
between surface layers
effectively causing what is known
as a bond failure.

7. •
•
Due to the combined impact
energy dissipation and rapid
heat transfer, the C02 pellet
immediately is transformed into
a gas.
This gas quickly expands in
what is known as a micro
explosion.
•
This micro explosion lifts the
fractured coating particles from the
surface material as detailed below.

8. •
•
Due to the features of dry ice
cleaning:
•
•
•
Non-abrasive
Non-toxic
FDA Approved
It can be used for a variety of
applications such as cleaning:
•
•
•
•
Electrical Components
Smoke and Fire Damage
Food Processing
Historical Restoration

examples of the power of dry ice
blasting:
