National Dry Ice Blasting for Industrial Cleaning, Equipment Restoration & Facility Maintenance

Dry ice blasting is an industrial cleaning method that uses compressed air to accelerate solid CO₂ pellets onto a surface. When the pellets hit the surface, they loosen contaminants and then sublimate from solid to gas, leaving no secondary blasting media behind.

Dry ice blasting is considered non-abrasive compared with sandblasting, grit blasting, or other abrasive cleaning methods. It can remove contaminants without etching, profiling, or significantly altering many underlying surfaces when properly applied.

Dry ice blasting does not create secondary blasting waste because the dry ice sublimates on impact. The only cleanup is typically the contaminant removed from the surface.

Dry ice blasting is a dry and non-conductive cleaning method, which makes it useful for many electrical and power generation applications when performed with proper safety procedures.

Cost depends on project size, contaminant type, surface, access, location, dry ice usage, compressor needs, safety requirements, and scheduling. Dry Ice Blasting Of America provides free estimates.

Dry ice blasting is better when the goal is to clean without abrasive media, surface profiling, grit cleanup, or secondary blasting waste. Sandblasting may still be used when aggressive surface profiling is required before coating.
