Not only is the dry ice blasting process clean and safe, it also leaves no carbon footprint. Dry ice is obtained as a byproduct of other industrial processes made from reclaimed CO2.
It does not produce CO2 or add CO2 to the atmosphere and therefore does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
Traditional cleaning methods contribute thousands of tons of toxic secondary waste to our landfills each year. Dry ice blasting eliminates the secondary waste by simply disappearing upon impact.

Dry Ice Blasting Process
The frigid temperature of the dry ice pellets (-78.5°C or -109.3°F) being blasted at high velocity through a blasting gun using compressed air hit the surface of the material causing a mirco-thermal shock between the surface contaminate and the substrate. The substrate which is warmer causes the dry ice to convert back into a harmless CO2 gas. The gas expands to nearly 800 times the volume of the original pellet and the surface contaminate is lifted by the CO2 from behind and falls away from the surface. Since the dry ice has now evaporated (CO2 gas), the only clean up that remains is the contaminate, which can easily be swept away!
Dry Ice Blasting of Atlanta uses exclusively Cold Jet dry ice machines and products. Cold Jet developed the single-hose technology, which uses a single hose to deliver air blasts and dry ice. A two-hose system which runs one hose for compressed air and the other to the feeder with dry ice, generally delivers the dry ice pellets with less force and has some limitations on vertical distance between the machine and applicator. Single-hose system aggression is also ideal for removing heavier build-up or for blasting at a vertical elevation where the machine is at a lower level than the blasting surface.
Dry Ice Blasting of Atlanta also uses Cold Jet’s Application Specific Nozzle Technology, which allows for targeted and precise nozzle control and configuration for different blasting situations. Nozzle technology and specific blast tools enable us to effectively and efficiently meet your cleaning challenges.
All Dry Ice Blasting of Atlanta’s technicians are trained and certified by Cold Jet in the dry ice blasting process.
