Dry Ice Blasting reduces or eliminates the need for toxic solvents. This results in less employee exposure to solvents and reduced corporate liability. Solvent reductions are a result of using this alternative process and are necessary to comply with ever changing environmental regulations. This process also results in improved worker safety. When removing hazardous material with other blasting media such as sand, glass beads, walnut shells, water, etc., both contaminant and blast material must be disposed of as toxic waste. Dry ice blasting does not generate secondary waste like other cleaning processes because dry ice (CO2) sublimates into the atmosphere on contact. Dry ice blasting is truly environmentally friendly!
