Dry ice blasting media product information
Product description
Dry Ice is solid carbon dioxide formed into 3mm blasting pellets
which are accelerated at supersonic speeds via a hand held
at a targeted surface to be cleaned or decontaminated or in certain
applications, a robotized blasting gun. The dry ice or Drice®
product is manufactured and delivered to the end user by BOC
in specially designed Dry Ice containers to retain its freshness and density.
The containers, or Thermotainers come in 2 sizes, 105kg + 210kg
Sufficient for up to 8 hours of dry ice cleaning,
depending on how much media is required for the cleaning
operation to be completed.
Dry Ice is also manufactured in block or nugget form as certain
applications and blasting units require the media to be "shaved" into
smaller particles before being introduced into the blast stream.
This approach is used for more gentle or delicate cleaning operations
where damage to a surface could occur if 3mm pellets were used.
An example of this would be Electric motor coil or taped end windings.
Availability
Dry ice pellets or blocks are manufactured the day before it is
due to be delivered where possible to optimize the density and overall
"hardness" of the product which is essential for its use as a blasting medium.
Offloading of the containers from the BOC delivery vehicle requires the use
of a forklift truck.
