Dry ice is a fascinating substance that works differently from conventional ice in many ways. A key feature of dry ice, which consists of frozen carbon dioxide, is that it cannot melt as we know it from normal ice. While conventional ice simply turns to water when heated, dry ice enters a unique physical process known as sublimation.
When dry ice is exposed to room temperature, it begins to turn not into liquid carbon dioxide, but directly into gaseous carbon dioxide. This process is not only remarkable, but also visually impressive: you can observe how the dry ice dissolves bit by bit into the air, creating a dense cloud of mist. This cloud is created when the gaseous carbon dioxide meets the humid air and condenses there.

The fact that dry ice “disappears” instead of melting opens up a wide range of applications in various areas. In the catering industry, for example, it is used to create spectacular effects when presenting food and drinks. It is also used in science and technology, for example for cooling samples or creating special effects in film and theater.
