The Science
Dry ice cleaning leverages principles from the scientific disciplines of physics and thermodynamics in an innovative multistage cleaning process.
First, compressed air traveling at extremely high speeds propels dry ice toward surface contamination. When dry ice particles contact the target surface thermal shock occurs and contaminants become brittle.
Next, the impact of the dry ice particles fractures and lifts the contamination off the target surface.
Finally, expansion shock occurs due to a rapid transfer of heat and gas expansion, resulting in the transformation of solid contamination into gas vapor. The scientific name for this final process is sublimation. The stages described above happen nearly instantaneously.
