While dry ice blasting is effective at removing failing paint and paint that has a weak bond, dry ice is a gentle medium and in some applications it is not always successful with just dry ice alone. There are many variables that determine whether dry ice blasting can be successful or not, such as how well the paint is adhered and the type of paint and primer. Even high pressure dry ice blasting can be too slow, too gentle, or ineffective depending on the application.
Our new dry ice blasting + abrasive solution, the E-CO2 150, adds an abrasive to the dry ice blasting stream. The solution boosts its’ aggression and effectively removes paint and coatings, while eliminating the issues with traditional methods of removal, such as excessive dust and waste.
