Compared with ordinary cleaning methods, dry ice cleaning can reduce or reduce the use of solvents,

Improve worker safety, increase maintenance efficiency; and reduce production downtime, reduce costs, and increase production efficiency.

Like other blasting media, the momentum of dry ice particles depends on their mass and velocity. Due to the relatively low density of dry ice, the required impact energy depends mainly on the velocity of the dry ice particles.

Unlike other blasting media, dry ice pellets are extremely cold (-78°C).

Such low temperatures give dry ice blasting unique thermodynamic properties that affect the mechanical properties of adhering dirt. Thermal shock occurs due to the temperature difference between the dry ice particles and the cleaning surface. The temperature of the material decreases, the brittleness increases, and the dry ice particles can impact and break the fouling layer.

The unique feature of dry ice cleaning is that the dry ice particles vaporize at the instant of impact, and the momentum of the dry ice particles disappears at the instant of impact.
