From fire to abrasive blast force, there are many types of surface prep. In the case of dry ice blasting, thousands of tiny, frozen CO2 pellets are fired at a surface at high speeds, creating highly localized temperature differentials that shatter the surface’s outermost covering. Here’s a quick look at why dry ice blasting is the best option for surface prep.

What Is Surface Prep?

SurfaceSurface Prep prep involves a thorough removal of material from a surface. It’s a vital precondition to the application of any adhesive-based coating. If you’re painting a metal surface, for example, the paint will fail to truly stick if any mill scale remains. Surface prep is a technological procedure specialized to remove metal, surface dust, previously-adhered material, and even chemicals.

Surface prep is also used for refurbishment. It strips corrosion from many surfaces with efficiency and ease. Such a thorough cleaning is vital to ensuring no poor surface conditions survive through the application of a new coating.

How Does Dry Ice Blasting Improve the Process?

By firing an extremely high number of tiny pellets at a surface, dry ice blasting manages to shear off coatings and waste off nearly any surface with extreme efficiency. Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive. When the pellets make contact, they instantly impart their heat and evaporate. As a result, dry ice blasting can be used on extremely fragile surfaces (such as intricate machinery) with no cleanup afterward.

Clean and safe, dry ice blasting is the optimal way to prepare a surface. With no secondary cleanup, the procedure is extremely environmentally friendly. Best of all, there are no harsh chemicals involved, which means no inconvenient disposal for you. Seek out Dry Ice Blasting of Westchester to prepare your next surface.
