The impact of delivery of the ice pellets triggers micro explosions. The ice evaporates quickly leaving a clean and dry surface. "It is particularly useful in many industrial applications including cleaning ornamental surfaces that are difficult to reach. The rapid-fire speed, temperature and explosions help remove dirt flakes, paint and oil residue within moments from the surface, and no chemicals are used," explained Dr Al Kuwaiti. The technology behind the system was developed by the American firm Cold Jet two decades ago. Cold Jet has set up a franchise in Amman, Jordan, from where the Bahraini firm will acquire the delivery equipment.
