What is Dry Ice??
Dry ice is pure, solid carbon dioxide (CO2). As
a gas, CO2 exists naturally in our environment.
It's called "dry ice" because it does
not melt. Dry ice goes directly from a
solid to a gas in a process called
sublimation.
Dry
ice keeps items colder for much longer than
traditional “wet ice” because dry ice is
extremely cold, -109 degrees F (-78.5° C). Dry
ice sublimates into carbon dioxide gas instead
of melting, leaving no liquid mess to clean up
which is why dry ice blasting is a popular and
environmentally friendly way to clean.
