Dry ice blasting for aircraft parts
Carbonised deposits, lubricant residue, paint to remove: aircraft parts require precision cleaning, without abrasion and without solvent. Dry ice blasting respects light alloys, surface coatings and the strict dimensional tolerances of the sector.
A technology built for the sector's requirements
Zero dimensional change
Ice sublimates with no abrasive action, no material removed, no dimensional change. The strict tolerances of aerospace are fully respected.
Compatible with alloys & composites
Aluminium, titanium, nickel alloys, CFRP: pressure is adjusted for each aerospace material with no alteration of coatings.
MRO traceability
Detailed intervention report provided after every operation, essential for quality documentation of aerospace maintenance operations.
No solvent, no residue
No chemical product introduced into sensitive areas. The ice sublimates instantly, no residue to rinse, no contamination risk.
Our applications in aerospace
Engine & turbine parts
Removal of carbonised deposits on blades, discs and turbine components with no alteration of thermal barrier coatings (TBC).
Structures & cables
Cleaning of metal structures, spars and cabling, removal of grease and contaminants with no damage to protective coatings.
Landing gear
Degreasing of landing gear, shock absorbers and hydraulic parts, preparation for NDT inspection and return to service.
Paint stripping
Removal of paint layers on structures and parts before retreatment. Non-chemical alternative to conventional strippers.
Composite materials (CFRP)
Precision cleaning of composite structures before repair or inspection, with no risk of delamination.
Tooling & jigs
Cleaning of production tooling, jigs and aerospace production equipment at end of cycle.
