Dry ice blasting is an ideal solution for those looking for an environmentally friendly cleaning solution.
- Dry ice is made of reclaimed CO2
All dry ice used in the dry ice blasting process is made from reclaimed CO2, which is a byproduct of other industrial processes. This CO2, which would have otherwise been released into the atmosphere, is captured and given new life as dry ice. Dry ice blasting does not produce more CO2. - Dry ice blasting eliminates harmful secondary waste
When the dry ice impacts the surface being cleaned, it sublimates – turns directly from a solid to a gas—and thus does not produce secondary waste. Similar techniques leave behind a residue that must be cleaned up with the contaminant. This media can become hazardous and create downstream contamination and harm the surrounding area and installations. - Dry ice blasting is non-toxic and eliminates need for chemical solvents
The dry ice used in the dry ice blasting process is a food grade media and is EPA, FDA and USDA approved for use around food manufacturing. It is colourless, tasteless, odourless and non-toxic. Dry ice blasting eliminates the need for chemical cleaning solvents in many applications.
