Dry Ice Safety & Handling
Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is an extremely cold material and must be handled with care. By purchasing and using dry ice, you agree to follow all safety guidelines outlined below.
Important Safety Information
- Extremely Cold: Dry ice is approximately -109.3°F (-78.5°C) and can cause severe frostbite or burns upon contact with skin.
- Always Use Protection: Handle with insulated gloves or appropriate tools. Do not touch dry ice with bare hands.
- Do Not Ingest: Dry ice should never be eaten or placed directly in the mouth.
- Keep Away from Children & Pets: Store securely and supervise at all times.
Ventilation & Storage
- Use in Well-Ventilated Areas Only: As dry ice sublimates, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which can displace oxygen in enclosed spaces.
- Do Not Store in Airtight Containers: Pressure buildup from gas expansion can cause containers to rupture or explode.
- Do Not Store in Refrigerators/Freezers: Standard units are not designed for dry ice and may be damaged or fail.
Transportation
- Transport dry ice in a well-ventilated vehicle
- Do not leave dry ice in a sealed car or confined space for extended periods
- Keep windows slightly open when transporting larger quantities
Proper Use
- Use dry ice only for its intended purposes, such as cooling, shipping, or approved applications
