Cyrogenic deflashing removes mold flash from plastic and rubber parts for improved appearance and performance. There are three different versions of this surface finishing process. The first, known simply as cyrogenic deflashing, freezes parts and blasts them with plastic media. The second, cyrogenic tumble deflashing, combines the advantages of cryogenic deflashing with dry ice deflashing, […]

When to Use Dry Ice Blasting for Parts Finishing
Dry ice blasting for parts finishing is a non-abrasive process that removes flash and burrs from individual molded or machined parts. Learn about its advantages, and when to use it instead of cyrogenic deflashing and deburring.
Molding Defects and How to Fix Them: Understanding Mold Flash
Molding defects reduce the surface quality of rubber and plastic parts. The causes include problems with flow lines, sink marks, vacuum voids, and surface delamination. Molding defects are also caused by short shots, burn marks, jetting, and warping. Flash or flashing, the formation of excess plastic or rubber on the surface of molded parts, is […]
Cryogenic Deburring and Cryogenic Deflashing: The Five T’s
Cryogenic deburring and cryogenic deflashing are versatile processes that improve the surface quality of plastic or rubber parts that have been machined or molded. This article explains how Nitrofreeze optimizes these cryogenic processes.
Dry Ice Blasting for Emergency Power Plant Cleaning
Dry ice blasting is a non-abrasive, non-flammable and non-conductive solution to clean-in-place (CIP) challenges like emergency power plant cleaning. This case study explains.
