Antifoul Stripping in Sydney

Antifoul Stripping for Sydney customers

Decades of antifoul builds up on yacht and commercial hulls, eventually requiring full strip-back. Sandblasting damages gelcoat and risks substrate fatigue. Chemical strippers run off into the marina. Dry ice blasting strips layered antifoul down to gelcoat or original primer without abrasive scoring or hazardous run-off — making it possible to fully restore a hull’s protective system.

For customers across Sydney — from Sydney CBD, Eastern Suburbs (Bondi, Vaucluse, Double Bay), Inner West (Marrickville, Alexandria, Mascot) to North Shore (Mosman, Lane Cove, Chatswood) — we operate as the New South Wales arm of the wider Dry Ice Blasters network. Sydney is a three-shape market for dry ice cleaning. East and North Shore: premium daily drivers and concours-grade engine bays — Porsche, Ferrari, Aston, classic American iron — where owners want factory-finish without wash bays or chemicals on their driveway. Inner West and South Sydney: warehouse-converted restoration shops, post-fire and post-flood insurance work in Federation terraces (Paddington, Glebe, Newtown), and food production sites in the Alexandria/Mascot industrial belt. Greater Western Sydney: trade work for body shops, undercarriage cleans for utes and 4WDs, and industrial equipment scopes from Smithfield through Silverwater to Eastern Creek. We work Sydney from the Central Coast via the M1 — no offshore logistics, no chemical disposal compliance, no overnight wait for water dry-down before a sensitive surface goes back into service.
