DRY ICE BLASTING APPLICATIONS:
Composite Tool Cleaning
Meet stringent industry demands with a composite tool cleaning solution that is fast, delicate and does not use solvents
Dry ice blasting extends the life of composite molds and tooling by eliminating the need for harsh chemicals, wire brushes and coarse pads. The process is non-abrasive and protects the critical dimensions and geometric shapes of parting lines and sealing surfaces, while also preserving the mold surface finish.
SPECIFIC USE CASES
Dry ice cleaning safely removes a variety of residual process contaminants from composite molds and tooling without damage
