The Many Uses of Dry Ice

FUN AND PRACTICAL THINGS TO DO WITH DRY ICE

Coolers For Camping, Hunting and Fishing.

Place the dry ice in the bottom of your cooler, cover it completely with regular ice. Then pack your cooler as normal with food and beverage items. The cooler can keep items cold for 3 to 5 days.

Pack your trophy game.

Animal or fish in dry ice to help prevent spoilage. (Remember to not have direct contact of trophy with dry ice. This may cause superficial or freezer burn damage.)

Create fog

Fill a large metal bowl ½ full with hot water, add dry ice every 10-15 minutes, insure the water remains hot. 2 packages will last approximately 1 hour. Use in well ventilated area.

Cooling and Freezing

Keep your beer keg cold by placing pieces of dry ice mixed with wet ice around keg. Do not use dry ice only as it will freeze the beer and possibly damage the keg.

There is no need to rush home after purchasing frozen foods.

There is no need to rush home after purchasing frozen foods.
Pack ice cream and groceries from the grocer with dry ice to help products remain frozen.

Make Root Beer

• 1 gallon water
• 1 lb sugar (or sweeten to taste)
• 1 oz root beer extract
• 1 lb dry ice
Mix ingredients and put dry ice into mix. Cover mixture. It takes about 45 minutes to work. Use a container that is translucent so that you can see the dry ice sublimating.
Other Uses
⦁ Shrink fitting of bushing or other metal material
⦁ Remove mild hail damage
⦁ Freeze branding
⦁ Water well rehab

Caution
Keep Out Of Reach of Children
Intentional Misuse of Dry Ice May Be Harmful Or Fatal – Use Only Under Adult Supervision

• Dry ice is preferable for keeping foods frozen or extremely cold because it turns to a gas, not water, as does wet ice.
• Dry ice can extend the life of wet ice by approximately 40 hours when small amounts of wet ice are placed on top of dry ice.
• Dry ice (or solidified carbon dioxide), has approximately 15 times more cooling capacity than wet ice of the same amount (weight), and can last approximately 5 times longer.
• When dry ice is used for Cooling, place in Bottom of cooler or insulated container. Do not allow food or cans to have direct contact. Place an insulating material between dry ice and product, such as cardboard, wet ice or paper.
• When dry ice is used for Freezing, place on Top of items you want frozen.
• Keep dry ice wrapped in paper (newspaper, paper bag, towels, etc.) for safety, and the insulation will extend the life of the dry ice.
• For temporary storage (up to 12 hours) of dry ice, placed wrapped ice in an insulated container. Do not store dry ice in a working freezer or refrigerator. The air flow will reduce the effective life of dry ice.

Caution: Dry ice temperature is -109.3oF.
(-78.5oC). Always handle dry ice with care, wear gloves at all times. If dry ice comes in contact with bare skin, injury similar to a burn will result.

Dry Ice is Harmful if Eaten or Swallowed.
Avoid contact with skin, mouth, eyes, and clothing. May cause severe frostbite or burns. If eaten or frostbite occurs, seek medical help immediately.
Dry Ice Makes Carbon Dioxide as it Sublimates (Melts). Do not place dry ice in air tight containers as they may explode. Use Dry ice in only open or well ventilated areas. Otherwise a lack of oxygen (suffocation) can occur causing serious injury or death.

El hielo seco es un irritante de piel y ojos, use guantes para manejarlo.
El hielo seco es peligroso si se come o se traga.
Evite todo contacto con la piel, boca, ojos y la ropa. Puede causar severas congelacion o quemaduras. Si esto ocurriera, solicite ayuda medica immediatamente.
El hielo seco produce gas dioxido carbonico al sublimarse o (derretirse). No guarde el hielo seco en contendores sellados o itermeticos pues pueden explotar. Guardelo en areas abiertas y bien ventiladas. De lo contrario puede ocurrir una falta de o oxigeno (sofocacion) provocando serios danoso inclusive la muerte.
Maitengase Fuera del alcance de los ninos el mal uso intencional del hielo seco puede ser danono o fatal
