Who offers Dry-Ice Blasting in Scotland? (2025 Update)

Try a restaurant.

I've not heard of dry ice blasting. However if you lob a load of dry ice in your car's floor, it becomes *very* easy to scrape underseal off as it sets very hard. Fairly common in racing circles.

I'd try anything if they offer dry-ice blasting.

Anyone else with a suggestion, where I could find a workshop that offers dry-ice blasting?

Cheers, Simon.

That's how dry-ice blasting works. Small pellets of dry ice are blasted onto the underseal and get thrust into crevises and cracks, where they rapidly evaporate. The expanding gas then lifts the underseal from the steel. The evaporation also causes lokal cooling, so the metal contracts and the underseal gets more brittle, producing more cracks. Apparently it's pretty easy to strip the underseal that way, especially because you don't have to remove any pipes or cables, even paintwork remains untouched. Minimum preparation work, just lift the car give it a blast and it's ready for a fresh coat of underseal. That's what I am looking for.

a moment on google: Del-Tec Ltd Industrial Dry Ice Blasting

But dry ice is frozen CO2. Think of the polar bears, man!

Dry ice is made from CO2 taken from the atmosphere.

Unfortunately they are not in business anymore. Closest dry-ice blasting service I could find was in Yorkshire.

Whoosh.

No it isn't. There isn't nearly enough CO2 in the atmosphere to make isolating it economically viable.

makes an interesting read. present atmosphere co2 levels are only just over suffocation levels for plants, so keep making co2 !!
