Dry Ice Blasting is used extensively for adhesive cleaning applications with great success. Dry Ice Blasting is far superior to traditional cleaning methods as it is a dry process that creates no secondary wastes. It reduces or eliminates the need for toxic solvents, and the cleanup and disposal of blasting media, such as; sand, grit, water etc., that are hard to clean up and expensive to dispose of. Because dry ice (CO2) sublimates on contact with the object being cleaned there is less cleanup required; this means less downtime. Adhesives are easily removed with Dry Ice Blasting in comparison to alternative methods as the lowered temperature serves to weaken the adhesive bond. Unlike Dry Ice Blasting, other alternative cleaning methods can be abrasive and often generate heat which only hinders the removal process. Some of the applications are: label removal and container cleaning.
