Dry Ice Blasting for Environmentally Safe and Effective Cleaning
Dry ice blasting is a fast, effective method for removing contaminants while minimizing teardown and cleanup. With no water and no chemical residue, it reduces labor time and disposal costs. That means faster turnaround, safer maintenance, and better performance.
How Dry Ice Blasting Works
Kinetic Energy
Dry ice pellets deliver soft, non-abrasive kinetic energy that breaks up stubborn contaminants on contact. This provides powerful cleaning without grinding, scratching, or damaging the surface underneath.
Thermal Shock
The extreme cold of dry ice rapidly chills the surface, causing contaminants to contract and release. This thermal shock helps lift residues cleanly with less effort and less downtime.
Sublimation
Dry ice turns directly from solid to gas on contact, leaving no water or secondary waste behind. That means faster cleanup, reduced disposal costs, and a cleaner worksite overall.

Case Studies
Automotive
Engine Bay & Suspension Components
Overview
A restoration shop needed a fast, non-abrasive way to clean a classic vehicle’s engine bay and suspension components without damaging wiring, seals, rubber bushings, or painted surfaces. The vehicle had decades of buildup including oil residue, road grime, brake dust, and hardened contaminants in tight, hard-to-reach areas.
Carbon buildup on engine mold
Challenge
Traditional cleaning methods required extensive disassembly and introduced risks from water, chemicals, and abrasive media. The team needed a solution that could remove heavy contamination while preserving delicate parts, reducing downtime, and avoiding secondary waste that would slow the restoration process.
Fast Damage-free cleaning
Solution
Sublimate Technologies used dry ice blasting to clean the engine bay, subframe, control arms, suspension mounts, and surrounding components. The dry ice pellets delivered soft, non-abrasive impact and thermal shock to break contaminants loose, while sublimation left no water or additional cleanup. Sensitive areas like wiring harnesses, rubber components, and painted surfaces were cleaned with controlled pressure and targeted technique.
Results
The engine bay and suspension components were restored to a like-new appearance with minimal disassembly and no surface damage. The process removed grease, grime, and embedded buildup from brackets, fasteners, and crevices, saving significant labor time compared to manual scraping and degreasing. With no chemical residue and no secondary waste, the shop was able to move directly into inspection, refinishing, and reassembly—accelerating the restoration timeline.
