Aircraft Dry Ice Cleaning

Engine, gear bay and airframe cleaning to maintenance-grade standards — without solvent or sandblast damage.

The problem this solves

Engine, gear bay and airframe cleaning to maintenance-grade standards — without solvent or sandblast damage.

Aviation maintenance demands clean surfaces — but solvent inventory is hazardous, sandblasting damages skin and fasteners, and chemical residues can trigger corrosion. Dry ice cleans engines, gear bays, control surfaces and airframe components without these issues, fitting cleanly within MRO procedures.
