Applicable Materials for Dry Ice Sandblasting
Aluminum
Dry ice blasting is ideal for cleaning aluminum surfaces without causing abrasion. It effectively removes contaminants without altering the metal’s surface or dimensions. This method is especially beneficial for precision parts in the aerospace industry, where maintaining the integrity of the aluminum is crucial.
Tool Steel
Tool steel, used in high-wear applications, often accumulates grease, oil, and production residues. In Zemetal’s dry ice blasting cleans these surfaces thoroughly without the risk of damaging the steel or altering its properties. It’s commonly used for maintenance and cleaning of molds and dies in manufacturing.
Copper
Dry ice blasting is effective for cleaning copper components, particularly in electrical applications. It removes oxidation and contaminants without conducting electricity or leaving any residue. For example, in the production of electrical transformers, dry ice blasting is used to clean copper coils, ensuring optimal electrical performance without the risk of corrosion or residue buildup.
Features of Dry Ice Sandblasting
Sublimation Upon Contact
A distinctive feature of dry ice sandblasting is the sublimation of dry ice upon contact with surfaces. This means solid dry ice pellets convert directly into carbon dioxide gas, eliminating the abrasive impact seen in traditional sandblasting. This unique physical transformation is pivotal in providing a non-destructive cleaning method.
Â
Thermal Shock Effect
Dry ice sandblasting leverages the thermal shock effect, an event exclusive to this method. The extreme cold temperature of the dry ice (-78.5°C) causes rapid contraction in the contaminant layer, leading to cracking and easy removal. This thermal shock is effective in removing firm residues and coatings without mechanical abrasion.
Â
Deep Cleaning through Micro-Cracks
In dry ice sandblasting the small size and solid state of dry ice pellets penetrate into micro-cracks and clefts that some abrasive blasting materials cannot reach. This allows for a deeper and more thorough cleaning, especially in complex geometries and intricate parts. This capability to clean hard-to-reach areas is a standout feature of dry ice sandblasting.
Benefits of Dry Ice Sandblasting
Efficiency and Time-Saving
Dry ice sandblasting is highly efficient, significantly reducing cleaning time. Its ability to clean without disassembly or additional waste cleanup means operations can resume quickly, minimizing downtime. This efficiency is crucial for businesses where time is a critical factor.
Â
Enhanced Safety
The safety benefits of dry ice sandblasting are notable. It reduces the risk of exposure to toxic chemicals and abrasive materials, safeguarding the health of operators. Additionally, its non-conductive nature makes it safe for use on electrical components, broadening its application scope.
Â
Versatility
Dry ice sandblasting specially from Zemetal offers versatility, suitable for a wide range of applications. It effectively cleans various materials, from metals to plastics, and is ideal for delicate electronic equipment. This versatility makes it a go-to choice for diverse industries, from automotive to aerospace.
Applications of Dry Ice Sandblasting
Automotive Industry
In the automotive industry, dry ice sandblasting is used for cleaning engines, removing paint, and refurbishing parts without causing damage to the underlying material. It’s particularly effective for restoring vintage cars where preserving original components is crucial. The process efficiently removes oil, grease, and other contaminants, ensuring a clean surface for inspection or further treatment.
Â
Aerospace and Aviation
Dry ice sandblasting is critical in the aerospace and aviation industry for cleaning sensitive equipment and parts. It’s used for the maintenance of aircraft engines, removing buildup without harming the intricate components. This technique also ensures no moisture is introduced, which is vital for avoiding corrosion in aircraft parts.
Â
Food and Beverage Industry
The food and beverage industry utilizes dry ice sandblasting for cleaning production equipment without the use of water or chemicals. It’s effective in removing food residues, bacterial films, and other contaminants while ensuring no secondary waste that could contaminate food products. Zemetal includes dry ice sandblasting in their services to keep the highest standards of cleanliness and safety.
Â
Historical Restoration
In historical restoration, dry ice sandblasting plays a pivotal role in cleaning and restoring delicate artifacts and structures without causing damage. For example, it’s used in the restoration of ancient sculptures, where gentle cleaning is essential to preserve intricate details and historical integrity. This service allows restorers to remove years of grime and pollution without affecting the original surface.

The skill and experience of technicians performing dry ice sandblasting cannot be overstated. Experienced professionals understand the appropriate pressure and technique required for each. They can also troubleshoot any unexpected challenges during the blasting process. Look for services with a team of well-trained, certified technicians who have a proven track record in handling a variety of projects.
Â
#3 Safety Standards and Compliance
Given the risks associated with handling dry ice and high-pressure equipment. Ensure the service provider adheres to strict safety protocols and complies with relevant industry standards. For example, proper training of personnel and use of appropriate safety gear during the blasting process. A commitment to safety not only protects the technicians but also ensures the integrity of your project.
Â
#4 Cost and Value Proposition
While cost is an important consideration, it should be weighed against the value provided. Cheaper services might compromise on equipment quality or technician expertise. Assess the cost in terms of the service’s comprehensiveness, the quality of equipment used, the expertise of technicians, and the safety measures in place.
