Dry ice blasting is a highly effective cleaning method that uses compressed air to propel dry ice pellets at high velocity against surfaces. This process is most commonly used during the restoration process in industrial and commercial spaces and is extremely effective in removing toxic residues, soot, and associated smells after a fire.
Dry Ice Blasting is versatile enough to strip paints and clean dyes without damaging the underlying materials. It is approved by the EPA, USDA, and FDA as a non-toxic, non- hazardous process, that inhibits mold and bacteria growth. Unlike traditional cleaning methods, dry ice blasting offers several advantages:
- Superior cleaning power: Dry ice’s extreme cold temperature (-109.3°F or -78.5°C) causes contaminants to shrink and lose adhesion, making them easier to remove.
- Non-abrasive: Dry ice blasting is a non-abrasive method, ensuring that surfaces remain undamaged during the cleaning process.
- Environmentally friendly: Dry ice sublimates into the atmosphere, leaving no harmful residues or waste.
- Versatility: Dry ice blasting can be used on a variety of surfaces, including metal, wood, stone, and plastics.

Is Dry Ice Blasting Necessary and Safe For Workers?
Dry ice cleaning/blasting is safe for workers when used correctly and improves indoor air quality (IAQ) for employees. We provide our dry ice blasters appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection, to prevent potential injuries or health risks.
Here’s how it contributes to a healthy work environment.
- Dry ice is often derived from reclaimed CO2, minimizing emissions and contributing to a more sustainable environment.
- Replaces hazardous detergents and solvents, reducing workplace exposure and environmental pollution.
It is also suitable for a wide range of cleaning tasks, from delicate surfaces to robust materials, ensuring a versatile cleaning solution. Additionally, dry ice blasting is ideal for preserving underlying substrates without damage, ensuring a thorough and meticulous cleaning result.
For businesses, dry ice blast cleaning is a cost-effective cleaning solution. By eliminating the need for harsh chemicals, dry ice blasting ensures a safe and eco-friendly cleaning process. This leads to improved product quality and reduced maintenance costs, ultimately benefiting businesses in terms of both reducing downtime and increasing profitability.

The EPSCO Process
EPSCO’s proficiency lies in seamlessly managing these intricacies, delivering exceptional results while maintaining safety and environmental standards.
Assessment
Our team first evaluates cleaning needs, material type, and location.
Preparation
The experts then set up the necessary equipment while ensuring all safety protocols are followed.
Production
The technician uses dry ice pellets at -109.3°F (-78.5°C), ensuring uniform size for effective blasting.
Blasting with Thermo Shock
The operator finally propels pellets at high pressure, causing a thermal shock to the surface, leading to material contraction and sublimation. CO2 gas expands 800 times, removing material.
Inspection
The specialist verifies complete removal and good surface condition. Additional testing may be required based on industry standards.
