Burrs can be the result of numerous manufacturing processes: grinding, drilling, milling, turning, tapping, slotting, etc. They can manifest themselves in the forms of various types: roll-over, tear, flag and even poisson burrs. It is **essential to remove this unwanted material** from the manufactured part **without altering the dimensional tolerances or marring the surface**. So when deflashing and deburring becomes necessary, [a quality solution is also essential](https://www.coldjet.com/dry-ice-blasting/applications/deburring-deflashing/). Whether in removing parting line flash or material burrs, **traditional methods have often fallen short**. These methods can be slow, involve human error and inconsistencies, cause grit entrapment, and cross contamination.

The attributes of each cleaning method not only affect the cleaning result, but they also dramatically affect the surface area that is being cleaned, the surrounding area and also the safety of the person performing the cleaning.

Cold Jet's [dry ice blasting](https://www.coldjet.com/dry-ice-blasting/?cmp_int=enBlogHS)technology is a **sustainable solution** that solves the biggest cleaning problems in the [oil and gas industry.](https://www.coldjet.com/dry-ice-blasting/industries/oil-gas/?cmp_int=enBlogHS) Unlike traditional cleaning methods that often create more problems than they solve, dry ice blasting uses the unique properties of solid CO2 to effectively remove contaminants from your valuable equipment. Dry ice sublimates upon impact and disappears into the atmosphere. This eliminates hazardous waste streams, moisture, media entrapment, and extensive pre-job preparation. Dry ice cleaning is non-abrasive, non-conductive, chemical-free, moisture-free, and it does not produce secondary waste streams. It is different from abrasive or water-based methods because it helps protect valuable assets from corrosion and damage. This can extend the life of equipment and lower maintenance **costs**. Dry ice blasting works well for a variety of applications in Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream operations. For oil and gas companies and oil field service providers seeking to minimize downtime, extend equipment life, and maintain peak performance, Cold Jet dry ice blasting technology offers a solution that protects your assets while delivering superior cleaning results.
