At Keen, our dry ice is made within 24-48 hours of delivery, ensuring you receive the highest quality product with maximum cooling power and minimal sublimation (loss). Unlike other suppliers, our daily production process means you get fresh, dense dry ice that lasts longer. This commitment to freshness makes us a trusted choice for all your cooling needs.

The lifespan of dry ice depends on storage conditions, but typically it lasts 18-24 hours in an insulated cooler. Larger quantities and better insulation can extend this time. For best results, minimize exposure to open air and avoid breaking the dry ice into smaller pieces.

Dry ice has a variety of uses, including cooling and preserving perishable items during transport, creating fog effects for events or films, and cleaning surfaces through dry ice blasting. It's also used in scientific research for temperature-sensitive experiments and maintain ultra-low temperatures for medical and pharmaceutical shipping.

Yes, WITH CAUTION. You can transport dry ice in your vehicle, but it should be kept in a well-ventilated area to prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide gas. Make sure the container is vented, as dry ice sublimates into gas, and never store it in an airtight container. Avoid keeping it in a sealed trunk, or confined space for safety.

"Sublimate" refers to the process where a solid turns directly into a gas without first becoming a liquid. In the case of dry ice, it sublimates into carbon dioxide gas as it warms up, which is why it disappears over time instead of melting.
