Dry Ice Blasting & Detailing
The dry ice blasting process is growing rapidly in the automotive industry as a safe way to clean surfaces without damaging paint, wiring, and other delicate surfaces.
The dry ice blasting process can safely remove dirt, oil grime, and undercoating without damaging any of the original surface that lies underneath!
Car enthusiasts of all kinds are now choosing this process as their preferred way of cleaning the vehicle they value. Whether you are an exotic car enthusiast wanting to drive your car without worrying about cleaning the road grime and rubber off of it after a day at the track or a classic car lover with that low mileage survivor that needs those rust free original floor pans re-exposed underneath all that factory undercoating, we’ve got you covered!
Automotive Blasting
When companies need to prepare a surface, they often use sandblasting. However, they find that the cleanup time is almost as long as the preparation time. There are little bits of sand that seem to get into every space. Besides that, sandblasting is a rough process, as its name suggests. You can think of sandblasting as using an ice pick to scratch a surface, and dry ice blasting as using a spatula to lift dirt off of a surface without hurting the layer below.
Unlike sandblasting, dry ice blasting amazingly doesn't make any waste. The dry ice that P1 Industrial techs use disappears when it hits something, which makes cleanup a lot easier and reduces (or eliminates) the need for containment.
This technology is used by P1 Industrial to clean switchgear, food preparation equipment, gas engines, coal-fired boilers, hydroelectric generators, and a lot more! Your equipment can be cleaned in place (with little disassembly) with dry ice blasting. You can make your buildings and tools look brand new again without making a new, dirty mess.

Dry ice blasting is better and more environmentally friendly way to clean than abrasive, soda, and sandblasting. Dry ice blasting, which is also known as dry ice cleaning, is a way to clean and prepare surfaces that doesn't harm the environment. Dry ice blast cleaners use recycled solid carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets or MicroParticles. These are blasted at supersonic speeds and sublimate when they hit something, pulling dirt and other contaminants off the surface below.
It is non-abrasive, non-conductive, non-toxic, and non-flammable, which makes dry ice cleaning better than other ways to clean. CO2 blasting doesn't use any chemicals or water, and it doesn't make any other trash. The technology in our dry ice blasting equipment is unmatched, and it can be used in a wide range of businesses and tasks.

What is dry ice blasting used for?Dry ice blasting is a non-destructive solution for cleaning, surface preparation, and parts finishing. Dry ice blasting does not require water or cleaning chemicals and does not produce secondary waste. Dry ice blasting (cleaning) can be used in industries like aerospace & aviation, automotive, contract cleaning, food & beverage, plastics & composites, restoration, textiles, and more. Common applications within these industries include adhesive removal, coatings & corrosion removal, composite tool cleaning, remediation, parts finishing, and surface preparation. As you can see, dry ice blasting can be used for a wide range of applications.

Why would I choose dry ice blasting over another cleaning and surface prep method?Dry ice cleaning offers a non-toxic, environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional cleaning methods that does not create secondary waste in the cleaning process, does not require chemicals, and does not use valuable and expensive water in the cleaning process. It can also reduce time and labor costs when compared to other methods.

What is dry ice blasting?Dry ice blasting, also called dry ice cleaning, is an environmentally sustainable cleaning and surface preparation technique. Dry ice blasting uses recycled solid carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets or MicroParticles, which are blasted at supersonic speeds and sublimate on impact, lifting dirt and contaminants off the underlying substrate. Dry ice cleaning is non-abrasive, non-conductive, non-toxic, and non-flammable. It is also chemical free, water free and does not create secondary waste streams.
-
Is dry ice blasting dangerous?Because dry ice blasting involves the use of dry ice, there are certain safety precautions that should be followed to ensure all personnel are safe. Some key precautions include: Ensuring proper ventilation Limiting exposure Identifying and labeling areas where it is possible for CO2 to accumulate Wearing and utilizing proper PPE such as gloves, eyewear, and tongs Dry ice blasting is not inherently dangerous, but there are safety precautions one should always follow.

How do dry ice blasters work?Dry ice blasters blast carbon dioxide pellets or MicroParticles at supersonic speeds using compressed air. These pellets/particles then sublimate on impact and lift dirt and contaminants off the underlying substrate.
