Dry ice is pure carbon dioxide (CO2) in solid form. Its name is due to the fact that it has certain similarities with normal ice, but when it sublimates (passes directly from a solid state to gas), it does not leave residues of moisture. Dry ice sublimates at -109 degrees F.
Dry Ice, the most concentrated form of cold readily available, is supplied in block or pellet form. Dry Ice has approximately double the refrigeration capacity of water ice by weight. It’s colder, leaves no mess, lasts longer and is the ideal portable refrigeration for coolers, car fridges and ice boxes.
