The Science Behind Mobile Dry Ice Blasting

Mobile dry ice blasting operates on three fundamental principles:

  1. Kinetic Energy: Compressed air accelerates dry ice pellets to supersonic speeds
  2. Thermal Shock: The extreme cold (-78.5°C/-109.3°F) causes contaminants to contract
  3. Sublimation: Dry ice transitions directly from solid to gas upon impact

This unique combination makes mobile dry ice blasting particularly effective for:

  • Removing stubborn contaminants without surface damage
  • Cleaning sensitive equipment without disassembly
  • Eliminating secondary waste streams completely
