But what exactly is dry ice?
Don't worry, no lengthy explanations!
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide.
Its temperature is -80°C, which could cause frostbite if not handled correctly.
When carbon dioxide is added to a liquid (water, cocktail, fruit juice, etc.), it creates a very thick fog effect that hugs the ground and makes the liquid bubble like a mad scientist's potion !
Precautions to take when handling
Remember, dry ice is solid carbon dioxide.
Its temperature of -80°C, mentioned above, requires hand protection using cold-resistant gloves.
When it transitions from solid to gas state, that is during sublimation, 1 kg of dry ice generates approximately 500 liters of CO2 gas. It is therefore essential to store and use this medium in adequately ventilated spaces.
CO2 is heavier than air: risk of asphyxiation if the area is not sufficiently ventilated!
A few ideas for using dry ice
Accelerate plant growth
A small amount of CO2 will increase the growth rate of plants.Place dry ice near plants for 10-15 minutes per day
WARNING : do not place dry ice in direct contact with the plant
Eradicate bed bugs
Although the problem in France isn't as significant as it is for our American friends: pto slow down and stop bed bug multiplication, use dry ice traps carbonique. For more information: contact us at 04 81 61 02 75

Remove dents from car bodywork
Heat the dent with a hair dryer, then apply a handful of sticks to the bodywork. The rapid cooling of the metal will bring the dent back to normal.
WARNING : in some cases, a little paint may be removed
To perform all the applications mentioned above, you only need a small volume of dry ice: buy dry ice in small quantities, from 5 to 15 kg only
