In short
The ice pellets sublimate completely after blasting: enormous time savings, far less waste and no damage to the substrate.
In dry ice blasting, CO₂ pellets at -78 °C strike the surface, crack the contamination by thermal shock and instantly turn into gas. Only the removed dirt remains – no water, chemicals or blast media waste. This means enormous time savings and a considerable reduction in waste.
Applications
- Industrial machinery, moulds and production lines

- Soot removal after fires
Advantages
- Gentle, non-abrasive cleaning
- No moisture, electrically non-conductive
- No residue, environmentally friendly and economical
- In-situ application without dismantling
Frequently asked questions
No. Dry ice pellets are non-abrasive; they sublimate on impact and do not scratch the substrate – ideal for switchgear, moulds and sensitive machine parts.
No. The dry ice turns into gas; only the removed contamination remains – no water, no blast media waste.
