Use of dry ice for celebrations
Dry ice is an all-natural product used in the food industry to refrigerate or cool products, so you can easily adapt it for a picnic, celebration or company party. With dry ice you will cool drinks, food and create unique special effects. Dry ice does not have a liquid state and when heated, it turns into gas, so in reaction with hot water, thick clouds of mist are formed, which become an exclusive decoration of a space or table.

Although dry ice is non-toxic, the use of large amounts of it also increases the concentration of carbon dioxide, so the room must be well ventilated. In order to avoid cryogenic frostbite, due to the extremely low temperature (- 79 ° С) dry ice should not be taken with bare hands, i.e. y. it is necessary to wear frost-resistant gloves.
