Dust
Certain types of dust have a tendency to pulverize
during the cleaning process. Therefore we recom-
mend that the operator wears a dust mask or if
necessary a breathing mask and industrial protec-
tive clothing.
The owner is responsible for keeping himself
acquainted with, and informing the operator of any
precautions to be taken as to the application of dust
masks, since the limit value varies from one country
to another.
Danger of Congelation
When using the dry ice blasting machine, the opera-
tor must wear long-sleeved industrial protective
clothing in order to eliminate the risk of congelation
when the dry ice comes in contact with unprotected
skin.
Read the safety data sheet provided by the
dry ice supplier and follow the instructions
given.
CO
2
Detector
The presence of a CO
2
detector is recommended in
areas of limited ventilation such as rooms, closed
tanks, etc. The CO
2
detector can be installed to in-
terrupt the blasting process before the CO
2
concen-
tration exceeds a prescribed limit.
CO
2
Concentrations
Dry ice pellets are CO
2
in a solid form. At normal
atmospheric pressure, CO
2
can only exist in a solid
form at a temperature of -79°C/-110°F or lower.
When CO
2
is used as a blasting medium, it becomes
heated and changes into a gaseous form. As CO
2
hasahigherspecicgravitythanordinaryatmos-
pheric air, inhaled air will contain CO
2
– especially
if the blasting process takes place in small or partly
closed rooms.
In such conditions there is a risk of the oxygen con-
tent of inhaled air being replaced by CO
2
. Therefore
it is essential to make sure the room is well venti-
lated when dry ice blasting!!
Note that
• lowCO
2
concentrations (3-5%) result in
headaches and rapid breathing,
• CO
2
concentrations of 7-10% produce head-
aches and nausea, and may lead to uncon-
sciousness,
• higherCO
2
concentrations lead to unconscious-
ness and in the worst case – suffocation.
As stated above, high CO
2
concentrations can
displace oxygen and result in unconsciousness.
Therefore, avoid using the dry ice blasting machine
in spaces/rooms where ventilation is limited.
“ When using the blasting equipment,
the operator must wear gloves in order to
eliminate the risk of being burned. ”
