Exceptional Dry Ice Services You Can Trust

dry ice in North Hollywood is formed through the sublimation of carbon dioxide gas. The gas is pressurized, cooled, at extremely low temperature of -78.5°C (-109.3°F), and then rapidly expanded, causing it to freeze into fine particles. These particles are compacted into solid blocks or pellets. Dry ice Pellets are modified in cylindrical shapes of approximately 3/4” in diameter and 1”- 2” in length. Dry ice Pellets undergo sublimation when exposed to normal atmospheric conditions, transitioning directly from a solid to a gas, releasing carbon dioxide and creating the characteristic fog ensuring a moisture-free freezing solution. Suitable for bigger shipments, unlike traditional ice, our Dry Ice Solid Cubes sublimate directly from solid to gas, offering a moisture-free freezing solution. This crucial feature minimizes the risk of water damage to delicate items and ensures contamination-free storage, making it perfect for transporting perishable goods or safeguarding thermo-sensitive materials. Each block ensures a consistent and prolonged freezing effect, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications. A Dry ice block weighs 50 lbs with dimensions of 10”x10”x12”. These blocks can be cut to obtain different sizes and weights, the most commonly used are slices of 10”x10”x2” (10 lbs) or 10”x5”x2” (5 lbs). Dry ice blocks last longer than any other form of dry ice due to the fact that they are made with higher compression rates, and have less area of temperature transferring than pellets.
