Currently, many people have used dry ice to clean polyurethane foaming equipment, especially high-end products such as car seats. Let’s follow the Polyurethane Catalyst editor to learn more about the advantages of dry ice cleaning.
At low temperatures of -78°C, CO2 exists in solid form. At normal temperatures and pressures, solid CO2 sublimates directly without any liquefaction process. This characteristic means that dry ice cleaning has unparalleled advantages over traditional cleaning methods:
1. It can directly remove contamination on the production line without affecting production and improving production capacity.
2. Where water cannot be cleaned, dry ice cleaning can be used instead.
3. Instant gasification, no residue, no secondary waste.
4. Non-destructive decontamination, no damage to the machine or mold.
5. A variety of nozzles are replaceable and have a wide range of decontamination.
6. Use on-site compressed air, which is convenient and practical.
7. Comply with the certification requirements of the US Environmental Protection Agency EPA, US Food and Drug Administration FDA, and USDA.
8. The operation is simple and safe, which can prevent employees from being in a dangerous working environment.
At present, dry ice cleaning can be widely used in tires, castings, molds, rubber, baked goods, aviation, electric power, petrochemicals, automobile interior parts production, etc. In this field, it saves enterprises a lot of cleaning costs and brings huge benefits to the environment.
