WHO WE ARE

Dry Ice is frozen, solid state carbon dioxide, which is found naturally in many places on earth (including in the air we breathe). When compacted and frozen, carbon dioxide stays in a solid state at -109.3 below zero.

It is used primarily as a cooling agent, but is also used in industrial settings for cleaning all kinds of surfaces. Its advantages include lower temperature than that of regular Ice, and leaves no waste behind (turns back into a gas).

Dry Ice can be used in many ways, including:

  • Protection against insects
  • Hunting and fishing storage
  • Solidifying oil spills
  • Medical research and laboratory uses
  • Chemo patients cold cap therapy treatment to aid in hair loss prevention
  • Fire fighting
  • COVID-19 vaccine storage
  • Special Effects
  • Cold food storage, and shipping
  • Biomedical product storage
  • Pest and rodent extermination
  • Industrial Dry Ice Blasting to clean surfaces
