Aerospace components are manufactured to extremely tight tolerances, and any cleaning method that's even slightly abrasive risks altering dimensions or damaging surface coatings that are critical to part performance.

How Dry Ice Blasting Helps

• Non-abrasive process cleans components without altering critical dimensions or surface finishes required for aerospace tolerances.
• Removes carbon buildup, oils, and residue from tooling and components without chemical solvents.
• No water or media residue left behind that could contaminate sensitive assemblies or bonding surfaces.
• Can clean composite materials and coated surfaces without the surface degradation abrasive blasting can cause.

The precision and residue-free nature of dry ice blasting is why it's used on components where tolerances are measured in thousandths of an inch.
