Industrial Cleaning
With the advancements in technology and mass production, it’s a shame to think there are still cleaning methods that hurt not help the environment, adding thousands of tons of toxic secondary waste to our landfills each year.
While traditional industrial cleaning methods can result in the disposal and removal of “secondary waste”, consisting of solvents, sand, or other means-the cleaning agent itself becomes a secondary contaminant that needs to be disposed of immediately.
Dry ice blasting eliminates the “secondary waste” by simply disappearing, eliminating the costs or concerns of more traditional methods.
Dry Ice Blasting has been approved by the EPA, FDA and the USDA.

Dry Ice Blasting Process Leaves No Carbon Footprint
Dry ice blasting uses dry ice pellets created through a process beginning with liquid carbon dioxide (CO2). The dry ice is obtained as a byproduct of other industrial processes made from reclaimed CO2. It does not produce CO2 or add CO2 to the atmosphere and therefore does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
Upon impact, the dry ice creates a micro-thermal shock which breaks the bond between the coating of grime and the substrate. The high pressure air stream removes the dirt from the surface, while the dry ice pellets vaporize, leaving only the removed debris to be cleaned, creating absolutely no secondary waste.
The dry ice blasting process is completely environmentally friendly!

How Other Cleaning Methods Can Be Toxic
-
Secondary waste to be cleaned up in addition to the toxic substrate: this is created by methods such as Sand Blasting, Soda Blasting, and even Water Blasting can leave toxic secondary waste to be cleaned up in addition to the toxic substrate.
-
Downstream contamination effects surrounding installations: this is a result of cleaning with sand, soda, or water.
-
Kills surrounding vegetation: soda blasting, chemical & solvent cleaning methods.
-
Creates toxic waste to be disposed of: chemical and solvent cleaning method
-
Harmful work environment created: workers are exposed to potentially harmful substances airborne and secondary waste through the use of chemicals and solvents
