What is Dry Ice?

Dry ice is formed when carbon dioxide reaches its solid state. It’s made by reducing the pressure and temperature of liquid CO2 to freezing point at -109°F (178.5°C). After frozen, the dry ice is then compressed under high pressure to form nuggets, rice, pellets or  blocks that are frequently cut into sized slices. Non-flammable, non-toxic and extremely cold, dry ice is a highly-effective refrigerant and is used in various applications including dry ice blasting, a non-abrasive way to clean industrial equipment.    

How is it Used?
