Pelletized Dry Ice - 16mm Dry Ice Pellets

Pelletized Dry Ice 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 16mm dry ice pellets

• Extraction and winterization: mixed with ethanol for a bath or slurry around -70 °C to chill jacketed columns, solvent tanks and winterization.
• Cold traps: packed into rotary evaporator and vacuum pump cold traps to catch solvent vapour.
• Shipping and cold chain: keeps frozen food, seafood and biological samples frozen in insulated boxes during transport.
• Backup cooling: keeps freezers and walk-in coolers cold during a power outage or equipment breakdown.
• Fog effects: dropped into warm water for low-lying fog at events, stage shows and haunted houses.
• 16mm pellets are the all-round size: easy to scoop and pour, and they last longer than 3mm rice pellets.

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.
