Dry Ice Blasting

• CO2 dry ice pellets are blasted out at sonic
  speed to capture unwanted contaminants
• Dry Ice is harder than concrete
• Rapid Sublimation of CO2 Gas
• Solid CO2 expands 400-800 times its volume
• At -110oF there is a thermal shock effect
• Rapidly expanding CO2 gas creates a mini shock
  wave
• Foreign body freezes at a faster rate than host
• Falls off
• Loses adhesive properties
