Dry ice is carbon dioxide in solid form. It has an extremely low temperature of -109.3°F (-78.5°C). This low temperature means dry ice can be useful for keeping a variety of things cold, but also should not be handled without proper safety protocols and protection. Unlike water ice which melts into a liquid, dry ice transforms directly into a gas (sublimates). During sublimation carbon dioxide gas can displace oxygen and has the potential to cause suffocation. It can also expand and create an explosion hazard if stored in an air tight container. Use the information in the PDF files provided below for safe transportation, storage, and handling protocols.
