What is dry ice?
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide and it is freezing cold. Used primarily to keep things cool, dry ice as a cooling agent is more than capable of staying cold for hours on end, provided it is not left exposed to the elements.
When dry ice is in contact with the air, it can begin to melt. Although this process is slow, it won’t make a mess. Unlike ice made from a liquid such as water, dry ice is made from carbon, which means when it begins to break down, it turns into a gas which then simply disappears.
Dry ice is not only used as a cooling agent. It is also used for cleaning. As a cleaning agent, dry ice is blasted out of a machine at high speeds and the result is a super clean surface without the worry of having to clean up a mess.
Why use dry ice?
There are many reasons why you should use dry ice, whether for cooling or for cleaning. For starters, dry ice is completely safe to use. There are no harmful chemicals involved in the making of dry ice. So whether you are handling it or if you are worried about the after effects of its use, you will never have to worry about the safety of the dry ice or what might happen if it were to touch whatever it is you are cooling or cleaning.
Whether you need lots of it, or if you are simply looking for a small amount to keep products cold, you will be able to factor it into your budget. The different forms of dry ice can also make a difference in your budget as you will find that bulkier dry ice products can be pricier than pellets.
Finally, dry ice has quite a decent lifespan. While you are unlikely to want to use the same batch over a really long period of time, over the short term, such as the time it can take to transport your products from A to B, your dry ice is most certainly going to last long enough for it to be useful.
