Applied Surface Technology, Inc.

Applied Surface Technologies, led by Robert Sherman, is a premier manufacturer of Carbon Dioxide Snow Cleaning equipment. The CO2 Snow Cleaning process removes particles from visible down to 3-5 nanometers, as well as hydrocarbon-based contamination and organic residues. The process is nondestructive, nonabrasive, residue-free, and environmentally friendly with no chemical waste. Based on controlled expansion of liquid or gaseous carbon dioxide using the asymmetric Venturi nozzle design, applications include semiconductor, optics, disk drive, basic research, vacuum technologies, surface science, surface analysis, medical, analytical instruments, telescopes, art conservation, and manufacturing. Sherman has published scientific research demonstrating CO2 snow cleaning effectiveness.
