What is Dry Ice?
Dry ice is created by compressing and cooling gaseous carbon dioxide until it liquefies. Under reduced pressure, the liquid CO2 expands, rapidly cooling and solidifying into a snow-like substance.
This solid CO2 is then compressed into pellet or block form, depending on the intended application. Pellets are typically small, ranging from rice-sized to larger pieces, facilitating ease of handling and effective blasting.
How Dry Ice Blasting Works?
In the dry ice blasting for mold removal process, the mold is sprayed with carbon dioxide (CO2), thereby causing it to shrink and detach from whatever surface it is bonded to. This stops the mold from growing again.
High pressure is also used at -78°C or below freezing temperatures in this operation. Low temperatures aid in ensuring structural integrity.
100 % Elimiates Mold Spores
Dry ice blasting for mold removal has been found to eliminate mold spores from contaminated surfaces effectively and completely in less time and with less effort when compared with other mold remediation techniques. Cureaire access spaces between beams, inside roof sheathing, and other tight spaces, completely removing mold spores and eliminating the need to use encapsulation and biocides.
Green Clean &
Environmentally Friendly
Dry ice is formed from recaptured emissions. When using the Dry ice blasting process, there is no water to reclaim, no solvents or other chemicals involved, no heat, and no media or other secondary waste to clean up or contain. The process eliminates the use of water that contributes to the growth of mold and/or bacteria.
