Dry Ice

Dry ice is made by compressing and cooling gaseous CO2. Expansion converts the liquid into the snow form of the solid state. The snow is then compressed by a hydraulic press into dry ice blocks or slices.

Dry ice (carbon dioxide ice) cools or freezes your products quickly. It can also be used to keep products cold or frozen. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide which changes directly from solid into gas and evaporates without leaving a trace.

Dry ice can be used in a multitude of ways. During warm seasons, it is a great help in parties, since it can keep served foods and beverages properly cooled. It is also handy when defrosting the freezer. In addition to preserving food, dry ice can be used to keep served foods cold. It can also be used for decoration, for example for creating fog.

The temperature of dry ice is very low, -78 ºC. As a result, properly insulated gloves must always be worn when handling dry ice. Never put dry ice in your mouth! The extreme coldness will cause severe frostbites as a result of rapid drop in temperature.

Dry ice is manufactured as grains or pellets, with a grain diameter of 10 mm and length 20 mm. Another form is dry ice blocks, with each block wrapped in a protective sheet of paper.

Properties of dry ice
  • Temperature: -79 ºC
  • Size of pellets. 10 x 20 mm
  • Size of a one-kilogram block of dry ice: 125 x 27 x 210 mm
  • Specific gravity: approximately 1.4 kg/dm³
  • One kilogram of dry ice generates about 530 litres of carbon dioxide gas.
