Typically used for keeping foods and perishable items frozen, dry ice has approximately three times the cooling capacity as traditional wet ice, and is extremely cost effective. Unlike water, dry ice does not melt into a liquid state, instead it sublimates from a solid to a gas meaning your products not only stay colder, longer, they also remain dry.
To determine approximately how much dry ice you’ll need, use our dry ice calculator.
As a general rule of thumb, dry ice will sublimate, or convert back to its gaseous form at a rate of approximately 5 lbs. every 12 hours.
Our rolling bin holds approximately 600lbs of dry ice pellets
Our square holds approximately 1500lbs of dry ice pellets

Dry ice is an amazing medium but with a temperature of -109°F it’s cold enough to freeze skin cells and cause burn like injuries if not handled properly. Never allow dry ice to come in direct contact with skin. Always handle dry ice with protective gloves or a towel.
Dry ice does not melt like wet ice, it converts to carbon dioxide gas. If left in a confined space, the carbon dioxide gas will displace oxygen which may result in a suffocation hazard. If dry ice has been left in a confined space (such as a small room or closed vehicle) for more than 10 minutes, open the doors and windows before entering. Leave the area immediately if you experience shortness of breath or have difficulty breathing.
Never store dry ice in a container that is completely airtight. We recommend using Arctic Dry Ice containers. When dry ice sublimates to carbon dioxide gas, the gas pressure greatly expands. This expansion will cause an airtight container to expand and possibly explode, which may result in injury or possibly death.
