Dry Ice Blasting is a safe and effective way to remove unwanted tags and murals, especially when wanting to cover a large surface area. When the CO2 pellets sublimate, they expand rapidly, creating a shockwave that dislodges the graffiti from the surface. The CO2 pellets also freeze the graffiti, making it brittle and easier to remove.
