Discover the power of dry ice for all your cooling needs
Non-toxic, inert,
non-flammable, colourless, tasteless, odourless and residue free. It produces a bacteriostatic and fungistatic effect and generates no waste.
What is dry ice? Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2). How cold is dry ice? Dry ice has a temperature of -78.5°C (-109.3°F), whereas traditional water ice is only 0°C.
When it interacts with its surroundings, it undergoes sublimation, transitioning directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid stage. As a result, each kilo of dry ice produces 0.54m3 of carbon dioxide gas as it sublimates from solid form.
Industrial Applications
The unique properties make it an attractive resource in various industrial sectors. Its cooling effect makes it ideal for any applications requiring effective refrigeration, including chilling and freezing of food within catering trolleys such as airline catering. The sublimation effect can be used to create spectacular low-fog displays in live performances or to present of all kinds of culinary creations.
Its antibacterial properties make it the ideal companion for food transportation of chilled or frozen food. It also offers environmental solutions in the removal of surface contaminants through dry ice blast cleaning.
It also has several industrial uses, including emergency cooling in mechanical breakdowns, cold grinding, shrink fitting of engineering parts and localised freezing of pipes.
