• Dry Ice

 

You may already have heard of dry ice, it’s actually a solid form of carbon dioxide and not water. The dry ice is mixed with pressurized air and then pointed at any surface. The dry ice is blasted against the surface, forcing anything else on the surface off. 

In principle, it is similar to sandblasting. However, the main difference is that the dry is not abrasive, non-toxic, won’t conduct electricity, and can’t be set on fire. That makes it a safe option for electrical components.

Perhaps more impressively, there is no waste product created with dry ice, the only clearing up will be the removal of the debris which the dry ice has dislodged from the surface. Check out this firm offering dry ice blasting Melbourne to find out more.
