Characteristics of  Dry Ice Blasting Blast Media  Equipment Scientific Principles
Blast Media – Dry Ice Solid form of Carbon Dioxide Available in  Pellets  and  Flakes -109°F  Inert  ( non -combustible) RECYCLED   - Man-made bi-product of hydrocarbon and ammonia production 0.03%/Vol in normal atmosphere
Scientific Principles DRY ICE BLAST CLEANING Impact Flushing Action of CO2 Particles Uses kinetic energy effectively sublimates on impact.
Scientific Principles Thermal Effect Kinetic Effect Sublimation Effect
Thermal Effect Dry ice particles have a temperature of –109F.  When these particles impact the impurities on the surface, the impurities are cooled down tremendously, shrink and then loosen from the surface.  In most cases the surface temperature will fall below most impurities freeze point.  As impurities freeze they lose their adhesion.
Kinetic Effect When dry ice particles exit the nozzle, they have kinetic energy.  As in commercial blast cleaning the impurities are dislodged from the surface.  Unlike sand, dry ice has a lower hardness characteristic and therefore greater kinetic energy can be used to break impurities from the surface without damage occurring.
Sublimation Effect When dry ice particles strike the surface, they immediately phase into gas from solid.  The effect increases the gas volume approximately 700 times.  The sudden increase in volume assists in moving the brittle fragments of impurities away from the surface.

Benefits of FreezeBlasting New technology breeds new phrases  –  “Clean Cleaning” Unlike all other surface preparation technologies, there are:  NO  Residual chemicals; NO  Residual abrasives; NO  Residues of any kind; NO   Excessive moisture; NO  Additional mess to clean up;  NO  Hazardous materials to dispose of; NO  Headaches. There is NO other environmentally safer alternative.
Benefits of FreezeBlasting Dry Ice Blasting  SHOULD  Be Used When There Is A Concern For: Surface Abrasion Avoidance of Drainage into Watershed/Storm Drains Avoidance of Sand/Grit Entrapment Difficult or Excessive Cleanup Complexity of the Surface Critical Production Downtime Elimination of Solvents/Chemicals Elimination of Rinsing and Drying Delicate Electrical Wiring
Benefits of FreezeBlasting? New technology breeds old phrases –  “Bottom Line” In today’s business environment, cost cannot only be measured in the amount of capital outlay.  Many other factors are considered. Increasingly important to lower the bottom line to maximize the top line.  Labor costs, workman’s comp insurance, and environmental requirements are only small examples of the burden many companies experience.  Important to find and use new technology that can relieve these  burdens.   Dry Ice Blasting is a cost effective means of reducing overhead.
In an article for the Journal of Protective Coatings & Linings, author J.D. Hansink, stated that in the year 2000 there was  1.6 million tons of Silica sand purchased for sandblasting/coatings operations .  The sand cannot be reused, and this  contaminated sand has contributed to contaminated sites and ultimately goes into landfills across the country.   In January 2004, Wayne Davey, Chairman of Ventura County Economic Development Association stated his top 10 issues for 2004.  Water issues impacting the region  is one of his top ten concerns.  His concern is not only the amount of water supply due to drought and population increase, but also  water pollution and impaired watersheds. Michael Peevey, President of the California Public Utilities Commission stated in March 2004 that his  #1 goal was energy efficiency .  Commercial and industrial customers can  increase their energy efficiencies by 10% or more by keeping HVAC units & machinery clean and protected. Tinker Air Force reported it  eliminated hazardous waste disposal  associated with  17,000 gallons of chemicals  they no longer need to use because they are now using dry ice blasting. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Environmental Concerns Green House Effect  – Global Warming It has been established by EPA studies that CO 2  emissions are contribute to the global warming problems of the world. Our process  uses CO 2  that would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere. Therefore, our process does not add any additional CO 2  emissions.  Our process uses, in essence, recycled waste product, then converts it into a usable phase.  American FreezeBlast applies it as a replacement for traditional hazardous material such as solvents and chemicals.
