FACTS ABOUT SLAB DRY ICE
Dry ice has unique properties that make it suited for cold transport. However, it is a potentially dangerous and highly perishable substance. Organized production, transportation, and handling of dry ice is essential to ensure its effectiveness and reduce potential risks resulting from its use as a mission-critical refrigerating agent. Apart from its low temperature, it has the following attributes:
- Sublimates rather than melts, meaning that it transforms directly from solid to gas
- Loses mass depending on block size and quality (larger, better blocks last longer)
- Potentially burns skin on contact, necessitating protective equipment when handling
As a dry ice manufacturer in western Pennsylvania, we are happy to provide any additional information our clients need. For example, we could assist in choosing the right slab thickness or understanding the capabilities of our product.
