Freezeblasting should be the first choice over all other types of cleaning when any of the following factors are involved:


• Concern for Surface Abrasion – Surface to be cleaned must not be abraded, worn down, or substantially altered.


• Avoidance of Grit Entrapment – Process used for cleaning must not leave any particles or residue which might inhibit the functioning of machinery.


• Difficult or Excessive Clean Up – Sandblasting, bead blasting, grit blasting all leave secondary waste that must be removed/cleaned in addition to the impurity.


• Increase of Toxic or Industrial Waste – When cleaning toxic materials, the sand or grit from other blasting methods is not only secondary waste, but it too is considered toxic! … thereby increasing headaches related to the toxic waste’s proper disposal.


• Complexity of surface – Dry ice blasting can clean hard to reach areas, including joints, moving parts, pockmarked and tiny porous surface areas and thin crevices. Disassembly, masking and cleaning time are "cut to a minimum".


• Critical Production Time – Many types of industrial or manufacturing equipment can actually be cleaned while still in production. Since there is no water, no chemicals, no grit …and dry ice is totally inert, non-combustible, and non-conductive, machines can actually remain running while being cleaned.


• Chemical Free - When chemical or solvent use is not desired, dry ice is EPA friendly and safe to the environment.


• Safe Electrical Concerns – Unlike other cleaning methods which may "wet" the surface, freezeblasting is dry and non-conductive, thereby reducing the chance of electrical shock or short circuiting the machinery.


• Elimination of Rinsing and Drying - Once again, saving time and money.
