Key Facts

  • 3mm dry ice rice is made from food-grade liquid carbon dioxide that is compressed into a solid at -109.3°F (-78.5°C). It contains no additives, binders, or chemicals, making it a pure form of solid CO2.
  • Our dry ice rice is manufactured in a consistent 3mm size, making it ideal for professional dry ice blasting equipment. Its uniform shape provides reliable flow, consistent cleaning performance, and efficient media consumption for industrial applications and equipment.
  • At approximately 3mm in diameter, dry ice rice is one of the smallest commercially available forms of dry ice. Its small size provides a high surface area, making it ideal for applications that require rapid cooling or precise dispensing.
  • Unlike regular ice, dry ice rice doesn't melt. Instead, it sublimates, changing directly from a solid into carbon dioxide gas. This means it leaves behind no liquid water, helping keep products, containers, and work areas clean and dry.
  • Because dry ice is extremely cold, it should always be handled with insulated gloves or tongs. It should also be stored in a well-ventilated area and never in an airtight container, as the expanding carbon dioxide gas can create pressure as the dry ice sublimates.

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.

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.
