No Secondary Media
The dry ice disappears as gas, leaving only the removed contamination to collect.
Mobile Dry Ice Blasting
Dry Ice Blasting in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland
On-site dry ice blasting for removing grease, soot, residue, moss, surface buildup, and contaminants from concrete, equipment, machinery, automotive parts, and industrial surfaces.
Dry Ice Cleaning
Clean Surfaces Without Water, Sand, or Harsh Chemical Runoff
Dry ice blasting uses compressed air and solid CO2 pellets to lift contamination from the surface. The dry ice turns into gas on impact, so there is no sand, water, or blasting media left behind.
Dry Process
Useful where pressure washing would create water runoff, drying time, or extra cleanup.
Mobile Service
Cleaning can often be done on-site for equipment, concrete, machinery, and parts.
Applications
What Dry Ice Blasting Can Clean
We review the material, contamination, and finish required before recommending dry ice blasting, laser cleaning, or another approach.
Concrete
Concrete Surface Buildup
Remove moss, residue, staining, loose surface deposits, and buildup without unnecessary chemical runoff.
Industrial
Equipment and Machinery
Clean grease, grime, soot, and production residue from equipment where abrasive media would add cleanup.
Automotive
Automotive Parts
Clean parts, frames, tools, and restoration surfaces where a dry, controlled process is preferred.
Prep
Surface Preparation
Prepare surfaces for inspection, coating, sale, restoration, or follow-up laser cleaning when needed.
Comparison
Dry Ice Blasting vs. Sandblasting and Pressure Washing
Each cleaning method has a place. Dry ice blasting is strongest when the job needs less mess, less moisture, and no leftover abrasive media.
Dry Ice Blasting
Best for grease, soot, residue, grime, and buildup when a dry process and reduced cleanup are important.
Sandblasting
Useful for aggressive stripping, but it can abrade the surface and leave blasting media to clean up.
Pressure Washing
Useful for many exterior jobs, but it creates water runoff and drying time that may not fit every site.
Laser Cleaning
Useful for precise rust, oxide, paint, and coating removal on metal where controlled surface impact matters.

FAQ
Dry Ice Blasting Questions
Do you provide dry ice blasting in Vancouver?
Yes. Vanguard Blasting Solutions Ltd provides mobile dry ice blasting in Vancouver and nearby Lower Mainland communities by request.
Does dry ice blasting leave residue?
The dry ice turns into gas on impact, so it does not leave blasting media behind. The removed material still needs to be collected from the work area.
Is dry ice blasting safe for concrete?
It can be useful for many concrete cleaning jobs, especially surface buildup and deposits. A small test area is recommended before full cleaning.
What should I send for a quote?
Send photos or video, project location, material type, what needs to be removed, access details, and your preferred timeline.
