Dry ice is a block of carbon dioxide in solid form, it is a beautiful pure white and very low in temperature at -79°C.

Dry ice constantly draws heat from around it and evaporates directly to become carbon dioxide gas.

The cooling power of dry ice at 0°C is three times that of the same volume of ice and approx. twice that of ice of the same weight. There is also no need to worry about water leakage.

The carbon dioxide produced through the evaporation of dry ice is a colorless, odor free gas with the refreshing quality familiar from the fizz in beer or other beverages.

The carbon dioxide given off from dry ice can prevent the procreation of bacteria or fungus, resist oxidation and prevent color change.
