UKBLAST APPLICATIONS
Beam CleaningDry Ice blasting oak beams and removing old coatings, or simply cleaning the oak beams is a process that can be undertaken without the problem of large amounts of spent abrasive (sand/olivine/soda/glass beed etc) having to be cleaned up after the cleaning process, and eliminates residual sand that remains in the beams. The process is non abrasive, and enables projects to be completed whilst still in place.Grafitti RemovalDry Ice blasting is an excellent medium for the removal of grafitti, and remove it from bus shelters, brick and paintwork, trains.Fire RemediationDry Ice cleaning is extremely effective in removing toxic residues, soot and associated odours on all surfaces after a property fire. Adhesive Removal Adhesives are easily removed in comparison to alternative methods, as the lower temperature serves to weaken the adhesive bond. Abrasive methods often generate heat and can therefore fail with some adhesive removal. It is ideal for cleaning labeling machinery, which can be very awkward. Ideal for cleaning glue machines.Cement or Resin DecontaminationThis process is ideal to remove cement and unwanted resins from machinery and other contaminated surfaces. This is also an ideal process for final site cleaning before handover on construction projects.Boat CleaningDry ice blasting is ideal for the removal of the anti-foul leaving a perfect gel coat underneath.Historical RestorationThe restoration of valuable or historical monuments is difficult to achieve without damage to the target area using traditional cleaning methods. Dry ice blasting offers a method of removing years of build up, without harming the original item, and avoiding scratch marks, pitting and damage. Removes Lead Based Paints Cleans around wiring/plumbing without damage and is safe around electrics as the CO2 is an inert gas. Eliminates chemical solvents and paint strippers. Cleans detailed work, tight spots and around nails and obstructions without a mess.Mould RemediationMould re-mediators across the world are using dry ice blasting to reduce their remediation time by as much as 60 to 80% per project. Dry ice blasting cleans even the hardest to reach areas where scraping and sanding can not, removing all contaminated wood while preserving its structural integrity. Completely removes mould from detail work, tight spots and around nails and obstructions. Cleans around wiring and all plumbing without damage or safety fears. Reduces high current power usage. Kills organic contaminants.Chewing Gum RemovalChewing gum has become one of the fastest growing environmental and municipal problems of the past decade. Dry ice blasting can completely clean chewing gum from a wide variety of external internal surfaces, including streets, concrete pathways, pavements, roads, paved areas, pedestrian areas, wooden flooring, shopping centers, waiting areas, schools and colleges. The advantage with undercover shopping centers, is that the cleaning can be carried out when they are closed and no water or chemical will pass through the grills of the retail units.
