Dry Ice (Solid CO2)

Due to its interesting characteristics, solid CO2 also known as dry ice or dry CO2 is increasingly used and sold on the market with following prices and specifications:

- Dry ice rice (also known as dry ice pallets, dry ice blasting rice) 

  +  Size: 3mm

  +  Retail price: 25.000 VNĐ/kg

- Dry ice blocks

  +  Size: according to customer's request

  +  Retail prices: 25.000 VNĐ/kg

Due to dry ice's characteristic of sublimation from solid to gas, dry ice is used for these applications:

- Refrigerating and preserving food: Dry ice is used in the food industry to keep foods fresh and frozen during transportation.

- Transporting goods that require low temperatures: Dry ice is often used to transport medical samples, sensitive medical products such as vaccines, and some other types of goods that require low or controlled temperatures.

- Create smoke and fog: In the entertainment and event industry, dry ice is used to create smoke or fog for lighting effects and performances on stages such as champagne towers, .etc.

- In industrial production, dry ice shrink parts before they get installed into the system, such as bearings, bushings...

- An industrial cleaning solution: CO2 dry ice is used for the removal of contaminants, such as solvents, oils, particulate matter, coolant, dust and more on machinery surfaces. Using dry ice is a convenient, effective, and cost-effective solution. Dry ice is also a non-abrasive, environmentally friendly method that eliminate the need to disassemble machine parts for a thorough cleaning effect.

How dry ice is made:

Dry ice can be produced by the rapidly expansion of the liquid CO2 through a nozzle in a constant enthalpy process; This process causes most of the liquid CO2 to become snow, which is then pressed into pellets or blocks according to customer requirements. Under normal temperature and pressure, dry ice does not melt, but sublimates directly to a gas at -78.5 °C (-109.3 °F).

Dry ice production cycle is shown below:

Where to buy dry ice:
