Dry Ice For Cold Transport
24/7 Emergency Support
0% Water Contamination Risk
Breaking the cold chain can spell disaster
Dry ice can be used to support and stabilise conventional refrigeration systems during transport, helping maintain consistent temperatures when conditions change. Refrigerated transport helps—but temperature deviations still happen during loading, delays and last-mile delivery. One failure can lead to rejected stock, compliance issues and major losses.
Dry Ice = Risk Reduction + Compliance Insurance.
Refrigerated Trucks vs Dry ice
Refrigeration helps control temperature. Dry ice helps guarantee it.
Refrigerated trucks can:
- Fluctuate during loading and unloading
- Fail mechanically
- Struggle with last-mile delivery and frequent door openings
- Lose performance during power interruptions or extended stops
Dry Ice provides:
- Stable cooling (no reliance on power in transit)
- A backup temperature buffer during disruptions
- Support for ultra-low temperature requirements (below -18°C)
- Reduced temperature loss during door openings
- Added confidence for pharmaceutical cold chain compliance
Why Dry Ice?
100% Dry — No water, no moisture. No packaging damage from meltwater.
Lasts Longer — Longer cooling duration than ice or gel packs.
Consistent Temperatures — Helps maintain reliably low temperatures in transit.
Any Distance — Long-haul, last-mile or urgent deliveries.
Eco-Friendly — No harmful refrigerants and no extra energy required in storage.
How It Works
Simple, Reliable Process – Dry ice sublimates directly into gas — no moisture, no contamination, just consistent temperature control from start to finish.

Dry Ice Safety & Handling
Dry ice is safe to use for cold transport when handled correctly. Because it is extremely cold and releases COâ‚‚ gas as it sublimates, basic precautions are essential.
Follow these key guidelines:
- Use insulated gloves when handling dry ice to prevent cold burns.
- Do not store dry ice in airtight containers — pressure can build as it sublimates.
- Ensure good ventilation in vehicles and storage areas to prevent COâ‚‚ build-up.
- Keep dry ice away from children and pets.
- Use suitable insulated containers designed for cold chain transport.
- Follow your workplace SOPs for packaging, labelling and handling.
