The Advantages of Dry Ice Blasting for Any Cleaning Application

Dry ice blasting is an advanced cleaning method that removes contaminants efficiently without causing damage to surfaces. Using compressed air to propel solid CO₂ dry ice pellets at high speeds, the process of dry ice blasting lifts away dirt, grease, paint, and coatings while leaving the underlying material intact. Upon impact, the dry ice freezes contaminants, causing them to contract and break away before sublimating into gas—resulting in a completely dry, residue-free clean with no secondary waste.

Dry Ice FAQ's

What is dry ice blasting?

Dry ice blasting propels solid CO₂ pellets with compressed air. On impact, the pellets sublimate (turn straight to gas), so there’s no secondary blasting media left behind—just the contaminant you’ve removed. It’s non-abrasive, chemical-free, and dry.

A wide range: historic timber beams, brick and stone, industrial machinery, marine hulls/propellers, automotive parts, and more. Sector pages on your site also cover food production, aviation and fire restoration applications.

No, dry ice blasting cleaning is gentle compared with sand or grit blasting and is routinely used on listed buildings and fine mouldings to lift varnish, paint and grime without scouring the substrate.

Our mobile ice blasting services require very minimal cleanup. Because the CO₂ pellets vaporise on contact, there’s no water or grit to sweep up—just the removed coating or soiling. That’s one reason it reduces shutdown times on industrial sites.
