Composite layup tooling
Release agent and resin buildup removed between cycles without abrading tool surfaces or affecting tolerance.
Dry ice blasting for aerospace & precision manufacturing
Precision manufacturing cannot tolerate media that stays behind. Grit blasting changes dimensions and leaves inclusions; solvents leave film and a documentation burden. Dry ice leaves nothing at all — the media becomes gas at the point of impact.

Why it matters
For tooling and molds, the practical benefit is dimensional integrity: repeated cleaning cycles do not erode a tool the way abrasive media does, which extends tool life and protects tolerance.
Where it gets used
Molds and dies
In-place, hot cleaning of injection and compression tooling, eliminating the cooldown-and-pull cycle.
Paint booths and fixtures
Overspray removed from hangers, fixtures, grating, and booth walls without solvents.
Weld cells and robotics
Spatter and slag removed from fixtures, nozzles, and end effectors without dimensional change.
Clean-room adjacent utilities
Mechanical rooms and support equipment cleaned dry, with no media to migrate into controlled spaces.
How we run the work
- No media residue, no rinse water, no dimensional loss on tooling
- Per-asset documentation of pressure, media rate, and dwell for repeatable procedures
- Compatible with cleaning validation programs where residue reconciliation matters
- Work sequenced under facility LOTO and controlled-area access rules
Carolina context
Charleston's aerospace cluster, the Upstate's automotive and precision suppliers, PTI's aviation corridor in the Triad, and the Triangle's medical-device and life-science manufacturers all run tooling programs where an abrasive-free, residue-free cleaning method is not a preference — it is the only method that passes review.
Questions we get
Will dry ice damage a polished tool surface?
No. It is non-abrasive to the base material. Pressure is tuned and proven on a test area before production tooling is touched.
Can you clean tooling hot?
Yes — that is one of the largest schedule savings. There is no cooldown, no pull, and no reinstallation cycle.
Do you provide documentation for validation files?
Per-asset records of settings, duration, and before/after condition are provided as standard.
