Meeting Expectations For Medical and Aerospace

Delicate and critical components for medical, aerospace, and other high-tech industries require extreme accuracy and flawless performance. Dry ice blasting ensures parts maintain geometric precision and are cleaned without residual grit or media.

Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting

Uniform finishing
No grit or media residue
Deburr and deflash faster
Reduce waste
Maintains part geometry

FAQs

Dry ice blasting is a safe, non-destructive, non-abrasive industrial process that uses dry ice pellets to remove flash, paint, rust, and other coatings from surfaces.

The blasted dry ice particles or pellets freeze the surface coatings or contaminants, causing them to fall away when they fracture from the cold in a burst of energy. In scientific terms, it is a kinetic and thermodynamic process.

The list of advantages of dry ice blasting is extensive, ranging from being eco-friendly to non-destructive cleaning without water or chemicals. Here is a list of benefits:

No water
No drying
No abrasive grit
No chemicals
No lodgings
Non destructive to sensitive machinery
Non-conductive around electrical service
Reduces maintenance downtime
Ecologically friendly
Efficient – saves money, time, labor, and materials
No corrosive solvents
Eliminates secondary waste
Cleans without etching or damaging surfaces
