DRY ICE CAPE
What is dry ice?
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO₂) and is much colder than normal ice. Instead of melting, it turns straight into gas, which makes it a clean and effective cooling solution. It is commonly used for food transport, medical and temperature-sensitive deliveries, camping, emergency refrigeration, and fog or smoke effects for events.

FAQs
FAQs
Safe handling
Wear insulated gloves (frostbite risk)
Use ventilation (CO₂ gas can build up in closed spaces)
Do not store in airtight containers (pressure builds).
Dry ice is extremely cold (-78.5°C) and must be handled with care. Avoid direct skin contact, keep away from children, and always transport and store it in a well-ventilated area. Use an insulated container for best performance, never place dry ice in a sealed container, and do not consume it.
