Undercoating is vital for protecting your investment. It shields your vehicle's undercarriage from rust and corrosion, extending its life and maintaining resale value. Invest in undercoating today for peace of mind on the road.
Dry ice blasting is an eco-friendly cleaning method that uses solid dioxide pellets to remove contaminants. This non-abrasive technique is perfect for delicate equipment and tight spaces, eliminating residues without secondary waste. Experience a cleaner, more efficient process with dry ice blasting!
HOW DRY ICE WORKS
1
KENETIC ENERGY
The impact of Dry Ice
particles removes
contamination from the
surface
2
THERMAL SHOCK
There is a rapid freeze and
thaw of both the particle
and the surface which
pops the contamination off.
3
RAPID EXPANSION
Dry Ice expands over 800
times when it hits the surface
and sublimates removing
contaminants on contact
What is Dry Ice Cleaning?
Automotive dry ice cleaning is a specialized application of dry ice cleaning technology used to clean vehicles, particularly for maintenance and restoration purposes. Here’s how it works and why it’s beneficial:
How It Works
-
Preparation: Dry ice pellets are loaded into a blasting machine that propels the pellets using compressed air.
-
Cleaning Process: The dry ice pellets are directed at the vehicle's surfaces, such as the engine compartment, undercarriage, or other components that need cleaning. Upon impact, the dry ice sublimates (turns from solid to gas) and the rapid expansion of gas helps to dislodge dirt, grime, oil, and other contaminants.
-
Post-Cleaning: Since the dry ice sublimates, there’s no waste left behind. The contaminants are removed from the surface, and the only byproduct is CO2 gas, which disperses into the air.
Benefits for Automotive Cleaning
-
Non-Abrasive: Dry ice cleaning is gentle on surfaces, reducing the risk of damage to sensitive components and finishes.
-
Effective on Grease and Oil: It’s particularly effective for removing heavy grease, oil, and grime, making it useful for cleaning engine bays and other parts of the vehicle that accumulate tough residues.
-
No Disassembly Required: It can clean hard-to-reach areas and complex geometries without needing to disassemble parts of the vehicle.
-
Minimal Downtime: The cleaning process is often quick, which can help minimize downtime for vehicles being serviced or restored.
-
Environmentally Friendly: The process doesn’t use water or chemicals, reducing environmental impact and waste.
Applications
-
Engine Bays: Removing built-up grime and oil from engines and engine compartments.
-
Undercarriages: Cleaning the underside of vehicles, which can accumulate road salt and debris.
-
Restorations: Preparing vehicles for restoration by removing old coatings and residues without damaging original surfaces.
Automotive dry ice cleaning is particularly valued in situations where traditional cleaning methods might be too harsh or impractical, and it’s an efficient solution for maintaining and restoring vehicles.
