What are the best cleaning applications for CO2?
The range of cleaning applications for dry ice is phenomenal and is easily demonstrated in just a small sampling of our customer base: core boxes for Ford; delicate wiring in copy machines for Xerox; conveyors for Nabisco; tire molds for Michelin; dry ice blasting shines in cleaning production equipment online, because it eliminates the need for masking, cool down and disassembly. Users minimize downtime which maximizes production efficiency. We have achieved outstanding results cleaning production equipment for foundries, molded rubber producers, food processors, printers, and the semiconductor industry. Dry ice blasting is also widely used in the nuclear industry for decontamination. Anytime waste volume or health risks are a concern, the viability of CO2 should be examined. Because CO2 disappears on impact, it creates no additional waste. Competing processes such as grit blasting or solvents often present disposal problems or health hazards.
