What is Dry Ice?

Dry ice is pure, solid carbon dioxide (CO2) and keeps items colder for much longer than traditional “wet ice” because it is extremely cold, -109 degrees F (-78.5° C). Dry ice sublimates into carbon dioxide gas instead of melting, leaving no liquid mess to clean up, which is why dry ice blasting is such a popular and environmentally friendly way to clean.

How to use Dry Ice:

Dry ice temperature is extremely cold and should be handled with extreme care. Always wear protective clothing or leather gloves whenever touching it.
