Pelletized Dry Ice - 3mm Dry Ice Rice Pellets

3mm Dry Ice Rice Pellets in Langley British Columbia for 1.79 LB + Tax

Dry ice is the solid form of co2. It is used primarily as a cooling agent. Its advantages include lower temperature than that of water ice and not leaving any residue (other than frost from moisture in the atmosphere). It is useful for sub zero cooling when mechanical cooling is not available or cost effective.

Dry ice sublimates at at a temperature of 194.65 K (−78.5 °C; −109.3 °F), at Earths atmospheric pressure. This severe cold makes the solid co2 dangerous to handle without protection due to the potential of burns being caused by freezing (frostbite). dry ice is generally non-toxic

Common uses for 3mm dry ice rice pellets

• Dry ice blasting: 3mm is the pellet size most dry ice blasting machines use, for cleaning moulds, food processing equipment, electrical gear and fire or smoke damage without water or residue.
• Fast cooling: the most surface area per pound, so it chills baths, solvents and products faster than larger pellets or blocks.
• Extraction and winterization: mixed with ethanol for a quick-cooling bath around -70 °C.
• Lab and sample cooling: packs closely around vials, tubes and sample containers.
• Small spaces: fills small shipping boxes and the gaps around products that larger pellets and blocks cannot reach.
• 3mm rice pellets sublimate faster than 16mm pellets or blocks, so plan to use them soon after pickup or delivery.

Safe handling and storage

• Never touch dry ice with bare skin; wear insulated gloves and use a scoop or tongs.
• Use and store it only in a well-ventilated area, never in a small closed room, walk-in cooler, cold room or basement without ventilation.
• Store it in an insulated container that can vent, like our totes. Never seal it in an airtight container, bottle or jar: the gas pressure can make it burst.
• Never eat or swallow dry ice. Keep it away from children and pets.
• Spills: leave it to sublimate and ventilate the area.
• Disposal: let it sublimate in a well-ventilated place. Never put it down a sink or toilet (it can crack pipes) or in a garbage chute.

First aid

• Skin contact (frostbite): warm the area in lukewarm (not hot) water; do not rub it. Get medical attention.
• Eye contact: rinse with lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.
• Breathing in too much CO2 (headache, dizziness, fast breathing, drowsiness): move to fresh air right away. Call 911 if breathing is difficult or symptoms continue.
• Swallowed: do not make the person vomit; call 911.
