Dry Ice Blasting offers the perfect solution for efficient removal of bitumen and tar from a wide range of surfaces in various industries, heritage sites, and domestic properties. The innovative cleaning method harnesses extreme cold of dry ice pellets (at approximately -79 degrees Celsius) to effectively freeze and make the bitumen brittle on contact.
The process involves a kinetic explosion by the rapid expansion and vaporization of the cold, frozen gas (know as sublimation). The explosion dislodges the bitumen form the surface it was adhered to, leaving the surface clean and undamaged.
Unlike other abrasive blasting methods that tend to heat the bitumen, causing it to become sticky and spread, dry ice blasting is gentle yet highly effective. The process creates no secondary waste, in contrast to sand, grit or water jetting. Additionally, no chemicals or cleansing agents are used, preventing occurrence of ghosting marks after removal.
