The restoration of historical or valuable monuments is difficult to achieve without damage to the target area using traditional cleaning methods. Dry Ice Blasting offers a way to remove decades of built up, without harming the original item, avoiding scratch marks, pitting and damage. |
- clean detail work, tight spots, and around nails and obstructions
- removes lead based paints
- clean around wiring/plumbing without damage
- brings out original details without the mess
- eliminates chemical solvents and paint strippers

Dry Ice Blasting not only offers a less harmful, more effective way to clean vs traditional pressure washing and chemical solvents, but also sanitizes surfaces reducing the likelihood of sea slime, algae and mussels attaching itself to the surface. |
- blistered fiberglass repair
- anti-fouling paint removal
- ship hulls
- sea water intake valves
- condensers and heat exchangers
- engine rooms

Mold remediators across North America are using dry ice blasting to reduce their remediation time by as much as 60 to 80% per project. Dry Ice blasting cleans even the hardest to reach areas, getting into areas where scraping and sanding cannot, removing all contaminated wood while preserving its structural integrity. |
- clean detail work, tight spots, and around nails and obstructions
- complete removal event in tight angles and tresses
- clean around wiring and all plumbing without damage
- reduce high current power-tool usage
- dry ice blasting kills organic contaminants

When sanitation is a critical element in the production of pharmaceuticals, Dry Ice Blasting offers a safe alternative to cleaning stainless steel containers, reactors, mixers, tablet molds and separators.
Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting over steam and water-blasted methods include the elimination of bacteria and micro-organism growth. Safety hazards from short circuiting and cleaning around electrical equipment are eliminated. |
- Stainless steel containers
- Reactors
- Mixers
- Tablet Molds
- Separators

Injection molding and plastic extrusion operations can benefit by Dry Ice Blast Cleaning. As parts are molded, several release agents and residue can build up on the mold tool, increasing defect rates. Dry Ice Blast Cleaning offers a reduction in labor costs, reduces wear on tooling, decreases scrap rates, and increases production time while offering a contaminant free solution to your operation. |
- Molds
- Extruder Screws
- Packaging Equipment
- Mold Machines
- Ovens
- Mixers
