Abstract:  
Is there ice in your future? If you are using chemicals or grit to clean, a new dry ice blasting process might be a cost-effective alternative to your current processes. Dry ice blasting or carbon dioxide blasting is ideal for applications where there is a need to protect objects from the kind of damage grit causes, where maintaining dimensional stability is critical, where possible degradation to the finish of a product is a concern, and the chance of grit entrapment jeopardizes operating machinery or electrical equipment.
