Dry Ice blasting pellets are used for carbon dioxide cleaning. Dry ice cleaning uses dry ice accelerated at supersonic speeds, creating mini-explosions that lift the undesirable item off the surface, instead of using abrasive media to grind and potentially damage a surface. Safer and cleaner than other popular blasting methods, dry ice blasting is a highly effective method for removing unwanted materials from food and beverage equipment and other surfaces.
Airgas operates its own dedicated blending facilities as well as maintains a national network of blending technology to ensure accurate, consistent production.
Applications
Mixed with Argon, Carbon Dioxide is used as a shielding gas to prevent the contamination of the molten weld metal.
