Restoring Surfaces: The Power of Dry Ice in Coating Removal
Dry ice blasting is an effective method for coating removal, leveraging the unique properties of dry ice to strip away unwanted coatings without damaging the underlying material.
Coating Removal from Industrial Equipment: Ideal for stripping coatings from machinery, molds, and tools in manufacturing environments, maintaining the integrity of the equipment.
Underseal & Waxoyl Removal: Dry Ice Blasting is the go to method for effective removal of automotive underseals for its waterless and chemical free properties. It also leaves a dry finish for efficient re-coating.
Graffiti Removal: Provides a non-invasive solution for removing graffiti from walls, monuments, and other surfaces without causing damage.
Restoration Projects: Used in the restoration of vehicles, boats, and historical buildings to strip layers of old coatings or finishes while preserving the underlying material.
Varnish and Stains: Eliminates varnish and stains from wood surfaces, such as furniture and cabinetry, preparing them for refinishing.
Adhesives and Sealants: Effective at removing various adhesives and sealants used in manufacturing and construction, especially from intricate parts.
Rust Inhibitors: Strips rust prevention coatings from metal surfaces, preparing them for inspection or further treatment.
At The Ice Blasters, we don’t just remove coatings – we also offer professional coating application services. We are an approved Dinitrol Treatment Centre and Lanoguard Application Centre. Whilst coatings are widely used in the automotive industry, it can be effective in any sector where durable surface protection is needed. Dry ice blasting is the ideal solution for coating preparation because the cleaning process is completely dry and waterless, ensuring no moisture gets trapped during the coating phase. This eliminates the need for drying time, making the entire process faster and more efficient. As an example, we can remove unwanted graffiti or apply coatings to preserve wanted graffiti!
Our Dinitrol coating package offers a comprehensive range of products designed to deliver long-lasting protection. This includes cavity waxes with endoscopic camera documentation, as well as rust converters and inhibitors that prevent corrosion and form a durable epoxy layer on the surface. The final stage of the Dinitrol process features our hard-wearing, self-healing coatings, which are resistant to heat, acids, and alkalis. For maximum durability, synthetic stonechip coatings are also applied in wheel arches to provide an exceptionally tough finish. We also offer advanced industrial ceramic coatings that provide an additional layer of extreme protection, resulting in exceptional resistance to heat, abrasion, and chemical exposure for the most demanding environments.
