About Our Technology
Advanced European technology takes the cleaning industry to new levels with dry ice blast cleaning. This development in environmentally friendly cleaning is quickly advancing as the leader in cleaning methods.
Dry ice blast cleaning is a system that uses small rice size pellets of dry ice (CO2) and accelerates them using compressed air towards a surface to be cleaned.
The freezing temperature of the dry ice (-78.5°C or -109.3°F) being blasted against the material to be removed, causes it to decrease and releases adhesion from its sub surface. Additionally when the dry ice penetrates the material to be removed, it comes in contact with the underlying surface. The sub surface being warmer causes the dry ice to convert back into CO2 (carbon dioxide gas)
CO2 gas has 800 times greater volume and expands behind the material upon impact quickening its removal. Mold, paint, oil, grease, asphalt, tar, decals, soot, dirt, ink, resins, and adhesives are some of the many materials removed by this procedure. Only the material that has been removed must be disposed of, the dry ice evaporates into the atmosphere.
Mould Remediation & Mould Safety
Dry ice blast cleaning has quickly established itself as the preferred method for mould removal otherwise known as ‘mould remediation’.
Found on the inside of buildings and homes; mould can result in dangerous health concerns to inhabitants and visitors. Over 270 varieties of mould have been identified living in Canadian homes.
Spores and chemicals released from mould can cause serious illnesses, allergic reactions and a weakened immune system. People who are more susceptible to these dangers would be pregnant women, infants and the elderly. Although the presence of mould can affect anyone.
Protect Your Loved Ones
Optimal protection from the dangers of mould is the removal of mould;
Dry ice blasting is proven to clean more thoroughly than traditional labour-intensive mould removal techniques.
Soda blasting, sanders, scrapers and wire brushes are time consuming, inadequate and messy. Mould will grow in damp areas and will continue to flourish unless properly cleaned, sanitized and repaired.
Dry Ice vs Mould
- Dry ice eliminates 100 percent of mould, spores and organic contaminants
- Dry ice leaves no secondary waste
- Dry ice cleans tight hard to reach places
- Dry ice is non abrasive and won’t damage electrical or plumbing
- Dry ice will reduce the need for biocides and encapsulation
- Dry ice reduces remediation time up to 80% per project
