Ideal for keeping foods and perishable items frozen, dry ice has approximately three times the cooling capacity as traditional wet ice and is extremely cost effective. Our 16mm dry ice pellets provide reliable cooling and longer temperature retention during shipping and storage. Their larger size reduces the sublimation rate compared to dry ice rice, offering stable freezing temperatures inside insulated containers for extended periods.
Arctic Dry Ice pellets are guaranteed fresh, high density, premium quality and made to order. We sell dry ice by the pound in any quantity you would like. Our minimum purchase is 5lbs and we can also deliver bulk shipments in 600 or 1500lb insulated containers.
Key Facts
How Much Dry Ice Do I Need?
To determine approximately how much dry ice you'll need, use our dry ice calculator.
As a general rule of thumb, dry ice will sublimate, or convert back to its gaseous form at a rate of approximately 5 lbs. every 12 hours.
Our dry ice pellets ship in one of two bin styles based on the volume you're ordering.
Rolling Bin
Our rolling bin holds approximately 600lbs of dry ice pellets
Square Bin
Our square holds approximately 1,500lbs of dry ice pellets

Safety
Handling
Dry ice is an amazing medium but with a temperature of -109°F it’s cold enough to freeze skin cells and cause burn like injuries if not handled properly. Never allow dry ice to come in direct contact with skin. Always handle dry ice with protective gloves or a towel.
Ventilation
Dry ice does not melt like wet ice, it converts to carbon dioxide gas. If left in a confined space, the carbon dioxide gas will displace oxygen which may result in a suffocation hazard. If dry ice has been left in a confined space (such as a small room or closed vehicle) for more than 10 minutes, open the doors and windows before entering. Leave the area immediately if you experience shortness of breath or have difficulty breathing.
Storage
Never store dry ice in a container that is completely airtight. We recommend using Arctic Dry Ice containers. When dry ice sublimates to carbon dioxide gas, the gas pressure greatly expands. This expansion will cause an airtight container to expand and possibly explode, which may result in injury or possibly death.
