Chapter 2.9.5 Carbon Dioxide (Dry-Ice) Blasting Robert W. Foster Basic Principles of Operation break the bond between the two materials. This Dry-ice particle blasting is similar to sand thermal shock is most evident when blasting a blasting, plastic bead blasting, or soda blasting where nonmetallic coating or contaminate bonded to a a media is accelerated in a pressurized air stream (or metallic substrate. other inert gas) to impact the surface to be cleaned or prepared. With dry-ice blasting, the media that impacts Historical Development the surface is solid carbon dioxide (CO ) particles. One In the early 1930s, the manufacture of solid 2 unique aspect of using dry-ice particles as a blast phase carbon dioxide (CO ) became possible. During 2 media is that the particles sublimate (vaporize) upon this time, the creation of “dry ice” was nothing more impact with the surface. The combined impact energy than a laboratory experiment. As the procedure for dissipation and extremely rapid heat transfer between making dry ice became readily available, applications the pellet and the surface cause instantaneous subli- for this innovative substance grew. Obviously, the first mation of the solid CO into a gas. The gas expands to use was in refrigeration. Today, dry ice is widely used 2 nearly eight hundred times the volume of the particle in in the food indust
