Guidelines for Safe Use of Dry Ice

Dear friends, dry ice has demonstrated its magical properties in various fields such as daily life, industry, and scientific research. However, if used improperly, it can also pose hidden risks. Today, we are sending you a safe usage guide for dry ice, so that you can use it with peace of mind and efficiency.
🎈 Storage Instructions
Dry ice is prone to sublimation, so it must be stored in a well ventilated and spacious area. Sealed small rooms, car trunks, etc. should never be used to store dry ice. It is best to place it in a professional dry ice insulated box, which can slow down the sublimation rate and reduce the probability of accidents.
🧤 Contact protection
Dry ice has a temperature as low as minus 78.5 ℃. If touched directly by hand, it can instantly freeze the skin and cause irreversible damage. When handling dry ice, it is necessary to wear thick anti freezing gloves. If skin accidentally comes into contact with dry ice, rinse immediately with plenty of warm water and seek medical treatment afterwards.
🚫 environmental safety
When dry ice is used indoors, it sublimates to produce a large amount of carbon dioxide gas, which is heavier than air and accumulates near the ground. So it is necessary to ensure smooth ventilation in the space, avoid prolonged stay of personnel in high concentration carbon dioxide environments, and prevent hypoxia and suffocation.
🍽 Be cautious when dining
Nowadays, dry ice is quite popular in catering dishes, creating a dreamy effect of smoke swirling around. But be careful not to let dry ice come into direct contact with food, and remind customers after serving to avoid accidental ingestion. And the dry ice used for catering must be food grade to ensure dining safety.
🛠 Industrial operation
In industrial settings, when using dry ice for cleaning, refrigeration, and other operations, operators must undergo professional training, strictly follow operating procedures, wear protective clothing, goggles, and other equipment to fully protect their own safety.
In short, understanding and respecting dry ice, using it correctly according to this guide, can fully enjoy the convenience brought by dry ice, stay away from potential dangers, and make this magical dry ice add color and assistance to our lives and work.
