Since blast materials in Dry Ice Blast cleaning equipment are dry ice pellets (Photo 1) they quickly sublime (evaporate) leaving no residues on the cleaned objects nor remains in work places.In other words, all the problems associated with traditional cleaning methods are completely eliminated.

Operators are spared from breathing toxic chemical vapors as in the cases of solvent/chemical cleanings.
There is no need to make secondary treatments for used chemicals - a significant cost savings.
Unlike in the case of blast materials such as sand or grit, it requires no post-treatment recovery, thus saving labor costs.
Disassembly or assembly operations of cleaned objects can be almost completely avoided, saving significant labor and energy costs, and the production efficiency is improved due to considerable reduction of downtimes.
No surface damages will occur on steel, aluminum, and copper, including new materials.
It does not damage base materials.
There are no residues (water, solvents, gases) left.
