Dry ice blasting is a fast, easy and cost-effective remediation method that uses high-velocity, high-density dry ice to clean surfaces without damaging the structure or creating new waste streams. Dry ice blasting eliminates the need for labor-intensive manual sanding and wire brushing by removing the contaminants. Because of the temperature difference between the dry ice particles (-109°Fahrenheit / -78.3°Centigrade) and the surface being treated, thermal shock occurs during the dry ice blasting process. This breaks down the bond between the substrate and the contaminant to be removed from it. The dry ice vaporizes on impact, so no secondary waste stream is created.

A number of industries worldwide have discovered the advantages of this precision cleaning process. Applications range from heavy slag removal to delicate semiconductor and fine art. The mold remediation industry adopted dry ice blasting as an acceptable, and sometimes preferable method to remediate structures (IICRC S-500).

Dry ice blasting is a dry, nonabrasive, non-conductive process that leaves no residual media to clean up. It's the pure and powerful solution for mold remediation.
