Dry Ice 

WHAT IS DRY ICE?

It is frozen carbon dioxide (CO2), which remains at -79 °C. It is a non-toxic, non-flammable food-grade product, which transforms from a solid directly to a gas – no liquid or water is left behind. The transformation creates the cooling effect.

The energy value of dry ice is 570 kJ/kg.

Dry ice colloquially means the solid form of carbon dioxide. It is commonly used for temporary refrigeration as CO₂ does not have a liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure and sublimes directly from the solid state to the gas state

reach your holiday destination, and continuously while you’re there too. When it comes

to special functions at work or at home, dry ice is ideal for keeping drinks ice cold.
