Use case
Can dry ice clean an aluminium boat hull?
Yes — aluminium clean without abrasive damage or surface oxidation.
Verdict
Yes
No work-hardening, no oxidation disturbance.
The detailed answer
Aluminium hulls (commercial workboats, fast cruisers, fishing trawlers) clean well with dry ice. Pressure tuned around 100-130 PSI. The advantage over sandblasting is that aluminium doesn't get peened or work-hardened by repeat dry ice cycles, and oxidation patterns aren't disturbed. Particularly valuable for vessels with anti-fouling that's been over-coated multiple times — dry ice strips back to clean aluminium without removing the protective oxide layer.
