Uses for dry ice

Dry ice blasting

Dry ice blasting is a form of industrial cleaning where pellets of dry ice are propelled at extremely high speeds towards a contaminated surface.

Emergency Refrigeration

Asphalt and Concrete Cooling

Dry ice is commonly used as a cooling agent and works well to quickly cool down asphalt and concrete.

Camping & Hunting

Use dry ice to keep food cold all day without the water mess that regular ice causes. You can also use dry ice to freeze game or fish for transporting home.

Wine making

Dry ice can be used in the wine making process to cool grapes during transport and control the temperature during fermentation. Temperature control during transport: 1.3 kg of dry ice per 100 kg of grapes to reduce the temperature by 1°C. Temperature control during fermentation: 0.6 kg of dry ice per 100 L reduces the temperature by 1°C.
