The Science

How Does Dry Ice Blasting Work?

Three fascinating physical processes work simultaneously to remove contamination without damage or residue.

Effect 01 — Mechanical

Mechanical Impact

The dry ice pellet strikes the surface with kinetic energy. The mechanical force breaks the adhesion bonds of the contaminant and detaches it from the substrate.

800m/s impact
Effect 02 — Thermal

Thermal Shock

At -78.5°C the contamination freezes instantly. The thermal shock makes the dirt brittle and causes cracks at the contact surface — ready for removal.

-79°Cthermal shock
Effect 03 — Sublimation

Sublimation

The dry ice goes directly from solid to gas — 700× volume expansion in microseconds. The explosive force literally lifts the loosened contaminant off the surface.
