DRY ICE
Dry ice is a fantastic solution for companies that need to ship or store perishables. Unlike ice made from water or frozen gel, dry ice does not leave behind puddles or other traces as it warms. This makes it a preferred option for businesses that deal in medicine, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and other similar markets. It is also a highly effective cleaning solution, and can easily remove undesirable material off of a surface without damaging the surface itself.
Whether you need large dry ice blocks, small pellets, or dry ice cleaning, Noble Gas Solutions has you covered! Learn more about the solutions we offer, general dry ice information, and safe handling tips below.

Dry Ice Blocks
Blocks are available in three different sizes to fit your application. Due to the density of a block, it will last longer and is recommended when the application will occur over a longer period of time. Storing dry ice in a well-insulated container ensures that minimal product is lost when not in use.
| Dimensions | Weight |
|---|---|
| 5.5″ x 10″ x 2″ | 5LB |
| 5.5″ x 10″ x 4″ | 10LB |
| 5.5″ x 10″ x 6″ | 15LB |
Dry Ice Pellets
Cylindrical pellets work similarly to packing peanuts and are the most popular form of dry ice for our customers. Pellets are ideal for tight spaces as it eliminates any wasted space in a container. This makes them the preferred dry ice product by hospitals, food manufacturers, and transportation services.
Dimensions: ½” x 1-6″
Dry Ice Rice
Fine rice is the smallest commercially available form of dry ice. This dry ice product is often used in very small storage units for cooling and transportation. It is also the best product to use when dry ice blasting, or blast cleaning.
Dimensions: 3mm

Safety & Handling
Dry ice is extremely cold with a temperature of -109°F and must be handled with caution. Dry ice can cause severe frostbite upon contact to the skin, and do internal damage if ingested or inhaled. Keep dry ice out of the reach of children and animals.
Risk of Exposure
Do not ingest dry ice. Avoid direct skin contact with dry ice. Always use thick gloves, tongs, or a shovel when handling dry ice.
Risk of Explosion
Do not confine dry ice in airtight bottles or containers. Dry ice releases gas as it sublimates, if packaged in a container that does not permit the release of gas it could expand and cause personal injury. Always store dry ice in an insulated cooler designed for the storage of dry ice.
Risk of Asphyxiation
A large volume of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas emitted in a confined space, or other unventilated areas may create an oxygen-deficient atmosphere. Dry ice must be stored in a well-ventilated location. Never store dry ice in a cold room, warm room, or storage closet unless adequate supply ventilation is provided. Do not place dry ice directly on a tiled or solid surface countertop as the extreme cold may cause damage.
Disposing of Dry Ice
If there is excess dry ice left after use, dispose of the remaining product in a well-ventilated area. This will allow the dry ice to safely sublimate. Never dispose of excess dry ice in a public area, in a trash receptacle, or directly in a drain as this may lead to injury or damage. While keeping with these practices, you can order fresh dry ice here.
What Is Dry Ice?
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO2). It is manufactured from liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) which solidifies by reducing the pressure and compressing it into different shapes and sizes. It maintains a consistently low temperature of -109°F and must be handled with caution.
Dry ice leaves no physical trace or wet puddle as it warms, unlike regular ice or gel packs. This is due to the fact that it does not melt, it sublimates. The denser the dry ice, the longer it lasts. Dry ice skips the liquid phase and goes straight into a gaseous CO2. Its lack of residual waste and freezing temperatures makes dry ice the ideal cooling agent for shipping and storing perishables.

Dry Ice Blasting
- Is a non-abrasive, nonflammable, and nonconductive cleaning method.
- Is environmentally responsible and contains no secondary contaminants such as solvents or grit media.
- Is clean and approved for use in the food industry.
- Allows most items to be cleaned in place without time-consuming disassembly.
- Can be used without damaging active electrical or mechanical parts or creating fire hazards.
- Can be used to remove production residue, release agents, contaminants, paints, oils, and biofilms.
- Can be as gentle as dusting smoke damage from books or as aggressive as removing weld slag from tooling.
- Can be used for many general cleaning applications.
