Dry Ice Blasting Services in Kenya
Dry ice blasting is an environmentally responsible cleaning and surface preparation technique.
It is similar to sand, bead and soda blasting in that it prepares and cleans surfaces using a media accelerated in a pressurized air stream. It differs in that dry ice blasting uses solid carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets, which are blasted at supersonic speeds and sublimate (turn back to gas) on impact, lifting dirt and contaminants off the underlying substrate.
