Szárazjéghabzás

Szárazjéghabzás refers to a cleaning method that utilizes solid carbon dioxide, commonly known as dry ice. In this process, dry ice pellets are propelled at high speeds towards a surface using compressed air. The extreme cold of the dry ice, approximately -78.5 degrees Celsius (-109.3 degrees Fahrenheit), causes contaminants to become brittle and fracture. Simultaneously, the kinetic energy of the pellets dislodges the loosened debris. A key characteristic of this method is that the dry ice sublimates upon impact, meaning it transitions directly from a solid to a gas without leaving any liquid residue. This absence of moisture makes it suitable for cleaning electrical components, delicate surfaces, and areas where water or chemical cleaners could cause damage or corrosion. The process is non-abrasive and environmentally friendly as it does not generate hazardous waste. Applications for szárazjéghabzás include mold remediation, industrial equipment cleaning, paint and graffiti removal, and even automotive detailing.
