The gentle revolution in paint cleaning for the preservation of historical works of art

Using dry ice blasting to remove paint is particularly beneficial as the process is a gentle yet effective method that is ideal for the conservation and restoration of historical objects. Unlike more aggressive methods such as sandblasting or chemical cleaning agents, which can often attack the substance of the material or cause irreversible damage, dry ice blasting uses the sublimation of frozen carbon dioxide. In this process, small particles of dry ice are shot at high speed onto the surface to be cleaned. As soon as they hit the surface, the dry ice sublimates immediately and creates small explosive waves that detach the layers of paint from the surface without affecting the underlying material.

Another advantage of this technique is that it enables precise control. Restorers can vary the intensity and distance of the beam to target sensitive areas. This is particularly relevant when it comes to historical buildings with ornamental details or elaborate layers of paint that need to be preserved. Dry ice blasting also offers the additional advantage that it leaves no residue behind. Unlike other cleaning methods, which often leave chemical residues or abrasive particles on the surface, dry ice evaporates completely without leaving any traces, eliminating the need for further post-processing.

Dry ice blasting: Efficient paint removal for industry and trade

The dry ice blasting process is used in numerous industries to effectively remove layers of paint. It plays an important role in industrial manufacturing, for example in production facilities where machines and systems are regularly maintained. Here, dry ice blasting is used to remove paint residue from the surfaces of machines.

Another field in which this process is frequently used is the automotive industry. When restoring vehicles or servicing cars, dry ice blasting helps to remove old layers of paint from car bodies and engines, creating a clean and safe basis for subsequent work.

The process is also used in the aviation industry. Here, it is used to remove layers of paint from aircraft parts and thus facilitate maintenance and inspection work. In shipbuilding, another important area, dry ice blasting is used to remove paint from ship hulls and surfaces to ensure the maintenance of ships.

The process is also used in the construction industry. Dry ice blasting is used in renovation projects to efficiently remove old paint from construction sites and buildings. Last but not least, the woodworking industry uses this method to remove old paint from wooden surfaces without damaging the sensitive material.
