Reliable, Long-Lasting, and Essential for Multiple Industries
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO₂), widely used for cooling, preservation, and cleaning applications. Unlike regular ice, it sublimates directly into gas, leaving no liquid residue. This unique property makes it ideal for food preservation, medical shipments, industrial cleaning, and special effects.
“When temperature control is crucial, dry ice offers unmatched cooling power and efficiency.”

Dry ice is composed of 100% carbon dioxide (CO₂) with a purity level of 99.9%, ensuring it is free from contaminants. It is colorless, odorless, and extremely cold, with a temperature of -78.5°C (-109.3°F). The gas released upon sublimation is non-flammable and heavier than air, making it safe for industrial applications.
Dry ice is widely used in food storage, vaccine transport, metal shrink fitting, and dry ice blasting. In the food industry, it helps maintain frozen temperatures for perishable goods during transportation. In healthcare, it is crucial for storing and transporting biological samples, vaccines, and pharmaceuticals. Industrial cleaning companies use it for dry ice blasting, an eco-friendly, non-abrasive method for cleaning machinery.
Unlike water ice, dry ice leaves no residue, making it highly effective for sensitive applications. Additionally, its rapid sublimation process ensures that products stay frozen without excess moisture.
The food and beverage industry depends on dry ice for long-distance transportation of frozen products. The medical and pharmaceutical sector relies on it for preserving biological samples at sub-zero temperatures. The entertainment industry uses it for creating fog effects in concerts, theater productions, and film sets.
