The Dry-Ice Cleaning Technology is used in many branches like:

Machine building, mould making, foundries, rubber factories, rolling mills, manufacturing industry, chemical and textile industry, food industry, garages, maintenance of airplanes, dockyards, paint shops, spray painting shops, electroplating and engraving shops, garbage incinerationg plants, drinking water systems, hospitals, sewage purification plants etc...

The following guide lists some of the common industrial materials that can be remióved by dry ice blasting either from the surface to which they are applied, or cleaned off the equipment or tooling used to apply or process them. Some typical examples are given, but the list is by no means exhaustive and specific advice should always be sought from GREEN TECH.


  Material Typical surfaces from which the material can be
removed		 Typical equipment from which the material can be
cleaned
