Dry Ice Statistics
Chart
Our family has been in the Dry Ice business since 1948. We
are the major supplier of Dry Ice, solid and pellets, for
laboratories and hospitals in the Houston Medical Center.
Dry Ice is -109F., and precautions must be taken in handling
the product so as not to burn your skin. It may be transported
in bags or boxes and may be stored in dry ice or wet ice style
coolers.
Dry Ice is compressed CO2 gas, and immediately begins dissolving
after being formed, vaporizing into the air as an odorless,
tasteless gas. During transportation of Dry Ice, precautions
should be taken to ensure a steady fresh air supply since
the vaporizing CO2 displaces oxygen. Kept in an
air-tight cooler, one sixty pound block of Dry Ice will
dissolve in approximately seventy-two hours.
