These questions address some important advantages of cryogenic cleaning.

 Yes, as long as the cleaning residues do not cause a problem. One of the major benefits of dry ice blast-cleaning derives from cleaning tooling while still in the machine ; less down-time, dismantling, reassembly.

 Hot tooling is often easier to clean than cold. Certain contaminants do not adhere as tenaciously when heated and sometimes there is a more positive effect from thermal shock to the contaminant.

 The tooling is not adversely affected. The Cryonomic® blasting unit was developed to address just this kind of customer need. It goes to where the work is, for in-place cleaning.
