Dry Ice LYON (69) - Carboglace

Dry ice is said to be in its pure state when at a temperature of -78.5°.

It is therefore extremely cold. It must therefore be handled with great care. Generally, the wearing of safety glasses and gloves is recommended.

In direct contact with skin, dry ice can cause severe burns. During events or in food service, it is advisable to use glass tongs to handle dry ice cubes.

Dry ice suppliers in Lyon must inform you about the type of protective equipment you should have!

When you buy dry ice, make sure to store it in a sufficiently ventilated area.

Dry ice produces a large amount of carbon dioxide gas that can be dangerous to your health or that of people present in the storage area.

Carbon dioxide gas is odorless and colorless. If inhaled in large quantities, it can have serious health consequences.

Dry ice produces carbon dioxide gas. This gas expands when it is released.

If dry ice is placed in a hermetically sealed glass container (jar with its lid, sealed bottle, etc.), the container will explode and cause injury.

During the chemical reaction between dry ice and a liquid, the container used must be open and placed in a well-ventilated room.

When transporting dry ice, carbon dioxide gas can spread into the car's interior.

This is why it is strictly forbidden to transport more than 20 kg of dry ice in a private vehicle.

In any case, for passenger safety, it is essential to keep the windows open.

For larger quantities, call on professionals.
