Plastics & moulds
Release agents, gas residue and carbon removed from moulds, vents and cavities. In many cases the mould can stay in the press, avoiding a full removal, cool-down and re-heat cycle.

What we clean
- Injection moulds and vents
- Blow moulds
- Extrusion dies and tooling
- Platens, tie bars and surrounding press areas
- Foam and rubber moulds
02
Why dry ice
- Non-abrasive on polished and textured cavities
- Can often be done in the press
- No solvents or water near the tool
- Test area agreed with you before full cleaning

Settings & limits
Pellet size, pressure and what it won’t do
| Pellet size | Selected for your surface after a test area |
| Pressure range | Set on site from a test area and recorded on your job report |
| Won’t remove | Rust, mill scale, etched or burnt-in stains and fully cured, well-bonded coatings |
| Substrates to test first | Soft timbers, renders and heritage masonry, thin plastics and films, painted or labelled surfaces |
We publish only figures we have tested. Until then, settings are confirmed by a test area on your equipment.
