Dry Ice Blasting

This cutting edge technology offers a tremendous advantage over solvent cleaning, pressure washing and steam cleaning: there is no smell, water or mess to clean up!

It has great value for the fire restoration contractor, industrial electrical contractor, historical renovation contractor, printing and painting industry, pulp and paper mill industry, utility industry and any industrial plant, foundry or factory with machinery that require regular cleaning of grunge, lubricants, insulation, sealants and coatings. Dry Ice blasting safely and effectively cleans wood, flooring, wiring, hosing, robotics, fans, spray booths, electric motors, rollers and factory equipment.

This equipment can drastically reduce downtime during fire restoration projects. Soot and smoke damage can be eliminated from most surfaces. Black mold can be eliminated from wood structures quickly and effectively. Since dry ice blasting leaves no moisture, it is especially useful in servicing electrical equipment. Various contaminants can be removed from electric motors, including their housings, stators, wiring, windings and cores. CO2 blasting can also be used on circuit breakers and boards, electric production equipment and electric control cabinets.

Blastrac Floor Surfacing Preparation

IRSE has prepared over 4,000,000 square feet of floor surface using the Blastrac floor surface preparation system since 1991. Our operators are factory trained. Shot blasting is a "one-step" method that strips, cleans and etches all at once, leaving the surface dry and chemical free without generating dust pollution. This allows coatings, stains, or new generation concrete sealers to be applied immediately after floor preparation. The Blastrac machine is primarily known as an all-purpose cleaning and profiling tool for concrete floors, parking decks, road surfaces, ship decks, storage tanks, stone facades or flagstone walkways. Blastrac floor preparation system is the preferred method of painting and flooring contractors.
