Default Dry Ice Blasting

Removing old paint, metal corrosion and organic bottom deposits is a very large time consumer in boat construction and ownership.
I love sand blasting as a process, but there are significant downsides to this. One is the mess it creates and another is its lack
of discrimination on what it removes and what it leaves behind. Does anyone have any experience with Dry Ice blasting. The
advertising of this makes all kinds of claims. Is it as good as it is advertised?

You have a great application for dry ice blasting. With ZERO secondary cleanup, dry ice blasting is becoming to answer in the boat restoration industry.

The only concern that I would have is when you said paint. There are so many different types of paint. A good majority work well with dry ice blasting, however there are some paints that don't work so well. But older paint usually is a great app for dry ice blasting. Since dry ice blasting is non-abrasive, you will not damage the surface you are blasting on when using our splitter technology, which takes the dry ice blasting pellets and breaks it up into more of a grain texture.

If you have any additional questions, I would be more than happy to help you. You can also visit our website at www.icetechworld.com, we are a world wide manufacture of dry ice blasting machines.
