Beat the Heat: Why Summer is Dry Ice Season

When temperatures climb, most people think of air conditioners, ice cream, and cold drinks. We
think of something much colder.

Dry Ice.

At SubZero Blasting, summer is one of our busiest seasons because Dry Ice plays a huge role
in keeping businesses running efficiently. From protecting temperature sensitive products during
shipping to powering industrial cleaning projects, Dry Ice is one of the most versatile materials
available.

More Than Just “Ice”

Unlike regular ice, Dry Ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2) and sits at an incredible -78.5°C.

Instead of melting into water, it sublimates directly into gas, leaving behind no liquid, no puddles,
and no cleanup.

That makes it the perfect solution for industries that need reliable cooling or residue free
cleaning.

Dry Ice Nuggets: Built for Summer Shipping

When the weather heats up, keeping products cold becomes even more important.

Our 16 mm Dry Ice Nuggets are designed specifically for:

• Cold chain logistics
• Food and beverage transportation
• Pharmaceutical shipments
• Medical supplies
• Catering and special events

Because the larger nuggets sublimate more slowly than smaller formats, they provide longer
lasting cooling during transport and storage. Whether you’re shipping frozen food across Ontario
or keeping products at the right temperature for an outdoor event, Dry Ice Nuggets help
maintain consistent cooling when it matters most. (Dry Ice Solutions)

Dry Ice Pellets: Keeping Industry Cool

Summer isn’t just busy for shipping. It’s also maintenance season.

Many facilities use scheduled shutdowns during the warmer months to clean equipment before
production ramps back up.

That’s where our 3 mm Dry Ice Pellets come in.

Designed specifically for Dry Ice Blasting, pellets are ideal for cleaning:

• Manufacturing equipment
• Electrical components
• Food production lines
• Printing presses
• Moulds and tooling
• Automotive equipment

Dry Ice Blasting removes contaminants without creating secondary waste, allowing many pieces
of equipment to be cleaned with minimal disassembly and downtime. (Dry Ice Solutions)

Fresh Dry Ice Makes a Difference

One thing many people don’t realize is that fresh Dry Ice performs better.

Because Dry Ice naturally sublimates over time, older product has already begun disappearing
before it ever reaches your business.

That’s why our Dry Ice is produced locally in Colborne, Ontario and manufactured on demand.

We aim to deliver product within hours of production, so you receive fresh, dense Dry Ice that
performs exactly as it should. (Dry Ice Solutions)

Summer is Just the Beginning
While summer highlights many of Dry Ice’s cooling applications, its uses extend far beyond the
warmer months.

Every day, businesses rely on Dry Ice for:

• Industrial cleaning
• Temperature controlled shipping
• Food processing
• Pharmaceutical transport
• Laboratory applications
• Environmental services
• Manufacturing maintenance
• Special events and entertainment

It’s one product with countless possibilities.

Whether you need Dry Ice Pellets for blasting equipment or Dry Ice Nuggets for temperature
controlled shipping, SubZero Blasting and Dry Ice Solutions have you covered.

We proudly manufacture and supply fresh Dry Ice across Ontario, helping businesses stay
productive, efficient, and prepared no matter how hot the summer gets.
