Precision Cleaning

Aerospace Fabrication provides precision cleaning of thin films and other optical surfaces. We use a process of CO₂ snow cleaning to remove contaminants from surfaces. Accelerated CO₂ snow cleaning is a dry and solvent-free process which uses high velocity CO₂ solid and gas that impinges onto the surface to be cleaned. Insoluble particles are removed from the surface using this focused high-velocity stream. The flow exerts an aerodynamic force on the adhered particles exceeding the adhesive force causing them to be swept away with the gas flow. Organic compounds are also dissolved and removed.
