Safety, Storage & Transportation
Dry ice is extremely cold (-109.3°F) and sublimates into carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. Adhering to these consolidated safety protocols is essential.
Handling & Storage
- Skin Protection: Avoid direct contact. Always wear insulated protective gloves. Keep dry ice out of reach of children and pets.
- Container Safety: Never store dry ice in airtight or glass containers, as gas expansion can cause the container to break or burst.
- Storage Environment: Store in a well-insulated cooler to slow sublimation, but ensure the container is not sealed.
Ventilation & Transit
- Airflow: Carbon dioxide gas displaces oxygen. Do not store or use dry ice in unventilated areas such as basements, walk-in coolers, or small enclosed rooms.
- Vehicle Safety: Transport dry ice in a well-ventilated vehicle with fresh air circulation. Never leave dry ice in a parked, sealed car.
- Symptoms of Exposure: High CO2 levels may cause headaches, dizziness, or difficulty breathing. If these occur, leave the area immediately and ventilate the space thoroughly by opening doors and windows.
