What about Dry Ice for Leisure and Travel Safety?
Dry ice is not for human consumption. Handle it only with protective gloves or mitts. Transport only in complete isolation from the driver. Do not place dry ice in any gas-tight container. It sublimates and expands! Keep dry ice away from children (adult supervision is required).
What is Dry Ice for Leisure?
It is frozen carbon dioxide (CO2), which remains at -79 °C. It is a non-toxic, non-flammable food-grade product, which sublimates from a solid directly to a gas – no liquid or water is left behind. The sublimation creates the cooling effect. The energy value of dry ice is 570 kJ/kg.
In what sizes can I buy dry ice?
It comes in round and square blocks, as well as pellets in 3 mm and 16 mm sizes.
- Round block: 2.5 kg (0200 mm x H65 mm
- Square block: 2.0 kg (L210 x W120 x H50) or 1.0 kg (L210 x W120 x H22)
It is packed in boxes of 10 kg, which makes it easy to handle. When shipped to your doorstep, it will be in a 20 kg polystyrene container.
