What is Dry Ice?
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, freezes to -78.5 degree Celsius. It is made by liquefying carbon dioxide and stored in a tank at a temperature of -109 degree Fahrenheit and compressed into solid ice. This compound is used for various purposes in industrial and commercial sectors such as preserving frozen foods, blasting, in medicines, creating special effects in events etc. The cold temperature and its property to sublimate make dry ice great for refrigeration.

Properties of Dry Ice
Dry ice is colorless, odorless, tasteless and bacteria-static. It sublimes and leaves no residue, remaining dry. It is available in various forms to suit a vast array of applications. Such properties make the substance ideal for many temperature control and manufacturing applications.
Most Common Applications of Dry Ice
- Dry Ice Blast Cleaning
Dry ice blast cleaning can be used as an alternative of traditional chemical cleaning. It is an eco-friendly method to remove dirt and unwanted materials from surface. In dry blast cleaning, dry ice pellets of size 3mm is introduced into a pressurized air stream and accelerates them to high speed. This impact of dry ice pellets on the surface removes contamination and makes the surface clean and abrasion – free. Visit Eco Green Dry Ice for commercial and industrial dry ice blasting services UAE, that is non- abrasive , non- toxic and fully dry with no residual blast media clean up.
- In-process cooling in chemical industry
Some chemical reactions need to be quickly cooled or some materials in such processes need freezing at extreme cold temperatures. Dry ice can be used to slow or stop some chemical reactions due to its cooling energy.
- In-process cooling in food industry
The extreme cold property of dry ice is utilized in the food industry for various applications. In the industrial process of minced meat, dry ice is added to keep the meat fresh within the temperature profiles and thus it eliminates the growth of bacteria before spoilage.
- Storage and Transportation
Dry ice is widely used now a day for storing and transporting materials ranging from food products, medicines ad vaccines without spoilage and without the need of expensive refrigerated vehicles. It is done by packing dry ice around the produce within insulated containers that gives us an economical and safe way of product transportation and delivery. Perishable goods can be stored into thermal containers with dry ice packed on the top is the best way to keeps the goods in a chilled condition, especially for bulk storage.
- Temperature controlled product distribution
Dry ice is used for the storage and distribution of goods by ambient temperature couriers as an alternative of expensive refrigerated transport systems. The products can be delivered consistently and at robust temperature control in the best possible condition at reduced cost.

- Plumbing pipe repairs
Dry ice is used to freeze water in the pipes so that the repairing works can be done easily without the continual flow of water that may hamper the work.
- Shrink Fitting
Shrink fitting is used to fit together collars, shafts, bearings and other components in engineering that require an interference fit. These components are packed in dry ice which causes contraction. It is easy to assemble these parts in the cold state and can be returned to ambient temperature after fitting. These components return into its original size, creating tight interference fit needed.
- Freeze Drying
Freeze drying is a common practice for preserving and extending shell-life of food, organic and pharmaceutical products. The process, also known as Lyophilisation takes place at extremely low temperatures well below the freezing point of water, resulting in less damaging of goods without affecting the product’s appearance, quality and freshness. Such freeze-dried products can be stored for years at room temperature without spoilage.
In Conclusion
Storing dry ice properly is as important as using for various applications. Take necessary precautions before using and storing the compound as it can cause harmful effects. If it is mishandled or not used properly, dry ice can cause ‘burn’ or frostbite to the skin. It can also damage pipes or valves due to the extreme cold temperature. Therefore remember to use dry ice with caution.
