Cleaning for non-destructive testing (NDT).

What can we do for you?

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a critical inspection method in industries such as aerospace, energy, chemical and metalworking. NDT methods, such as ultrasonic, penetrant and magnetic testing, require extremely clean surfaces to ensure reliable test results. Dirt, grease, corrosion or old coatings can interfere with the accuracy of inspections and hide defects.

Dry ice blasting offers an efficient, residue-free and non-abrasive method of thoroughly cleaning surfaces without damaging the material. This leaves critical components fully intact and allows inspections to be performed with maximum precision.

What we can do:

  • Removal of grease, oil and dirt: Optimizes adhesion of penetrant fluids and improves test results.
  • Cleaning without damage to metals or composites: Ensures that no material is removed or deformed.
  • Preparation of surfaces for ultrasonic and magnetic examination: Removes contaminants that may cause erroneous measurements.
  • Removes old coatings and oxide layers: Provides a clean test environment without chemical solvents.
  • No water or chemical residue: Avoids corrosion or residue that can affect test results.

Some advantages:

  • Non-abrasive method: Prevents damage to sensitive test surfaces.
  • Completely dry and residue-free: No chemical residues affecting test results.
  • Fast and efficient cleaning: Minimizes preparation time and speeds up the inspection process.
  • Safe for all materials: Suitable for metals, alloys, plastics and composite materials.
  • Environmentally friendly and sustainable: No hazardous solvents or waste products.
