Kinetic energy
The collision of dry ice particles removes contaminants from the surface.
Thermal energy
A quick freeze followed by a thaw of both the particle and surface causes the contaminants to detach.
Rapid expansion
When dry ice strikes the surface, it expands more than 800 times and sublimates, lifting contaminants instantly.
A - Micro-Thermal Energy Transmission
B - Transmission of Kinetic Energy
C - Sublimation Energy transfer
No water,
no abrasive,
no chemicals.
After cleaning the surface with dry ice, almost no byproducts are left. The dry ice fully sublimates (transforms directly from a solid state to a gas, bypassing the liquid phase) and leaves no residue. The only byproducts may be the removed contaminants and dirt particles that were cleaned off the surface.
