Dry ice is a fascinating material that is used in many areas and can be used both practically and creatively thanks to its unique physical properties. Whether in catering, event management or industry – dry ice is a versatile helper.
Dry ice is the solid-sublimated form of carbon dioxide (CO₂) that does not exist as a liquid under normal atmospheric pressure and temperature conditions. It is produced by cooling and pressurizing carbon dioxide gas, which is then squeezed out in the form of snow particles or blocks. Dry ice has a temperature of around -78.5 degrees Celsius and is used in various applications due to its unique properties.
One of the most remarkable properties of dry ice is its ability to change directly from a solid to a gaseous state at room temperature without becoming a liquid. This process is called sublimation and results in dry ice creating a “foggy” effect when it comes into contact with warm air. This makes it a popular effect agent in the event and film industry, where it is often used to create mystical fog scenes.

Dry ice has numerous applications in everyday life. In the catering industry, it is used to cool food and drinks or to create impressive presentations for cocktails. Dry ice also plays an important role in industry, for example in the cooling of food during transportation or for cleaning machines using dry ice blasting, a technique that gently cleans surfaces without damaging them.
However, care must be taken when handling dry ice. Due to the extremely low temperatures, direct skin contact can lead to severe frostbite. It should also be stored in well-ventilated areas, as the gas produced during sublimation can generate dangerous concentrations of carbon dioxide in enclosed spaces.
Active communication on the market and proximity to the customer are essential for the development of a company,
so we are pleased to be actively involved in the association of “dry ice blasters”.
