16mm Dry Ice Pellets

Buy 16mm Dry Ice Pellets in Dubai – Ice Dry Ice

Need powerful, long-lasting cooling for frozen food, cold-chain transportation, commercial storage, events or temperature-sensitive shipments?

Ice Dry Ice supplies 16mm dry ice pellets in Dubai, providing a practical large-pellet format for applications that require intense low-temperature cooling.

Made from solid carbon dioxide (CO₂), dry ice is approximately −78.5°C and sublimates directly from solid into gas rather than melting into water. The larger 16mm format is particularly suitable for general cooling and transport applications where minimizing unnecessary sublimation is important.

Our 16mm pellets are approximately 16mm in diameter, with pellet lengths varying from around 1cm to 5cm.

Why Choose 16mm Dry Ice Pellets from Ice Dry Ice?

Large Pellet Format for Cooling

Compared with smaller dry ice pellets, the larger 16mm format provides substantial pieces of dry ice that are convenient for packing inside insulated containers, coolers and shipping boxes.

Under comparable conditions, larger pieces generally expose less surface area relative to their mass than the same amount of dry ice divided into very small particles, helping reduce the rate of sublimation.

Powerful Low-Temperature Performance

Dry ice maintains a temperature of approximately −78.5°C, making it substantially colder than ordinary water ice.

This makes 16mm pellets suitable for applications where products need to remain deeply chilled or frozen.

No Meltwater

Dry ice does not melt into liquid water.

Instead, solid CO₂ changes directly into carbon dioxide gas through a process called sublimation.

This makes it particularly useful for appropriate shipping and cooling applications where melted water inside the packaging would be undesirable.

Easy to Distribute

The pellet format allows dry ice to be positioned around or between appropriately packaged products more easily than one large dry ice block.

This can be useful when filling:

• Insulated shipping boxes
• Styrofoam containers
• Cooler boxes
• Frozen-food packages
• Commercial cooling containers

Bulk Supply Available

Ice Dry Ice can accommodate enquiries for both individual requirements and larger commercial quantities.

Applications of 16mm Dry Ice Pellets in Dubai

Frozen Food Transportation

16mm dry ice pellets are well suited to maintaining frozen conditions inside appropriately insulated packaging.

Potential applications include:

• Frozen meat
• Seafood
• Frozen desserts
• Ice cream
• Specialty foods
• Frozen ingredients
• Catering products
• Online frozen-food deliveries

Dry ice can be positioned around suitable packaged products to provide strong cooling without creating meltwater.

Cold-Chain & Logistics

Dry ice is widely used as a refrigerant for temperature-sensitive transportation.

The 16mm format can be useful for:

• Local deliveries
• Frozen shipments
• Insulated transport boxes
• E-commerce cold-chain orders
• Commercial distribution
• Temperature-sensitive samples

For products that require a precisely controlled temperature range, the complete packaging system should be designed and validated for the intended shipment rather than relying on dry ice alone.

Food Processing & Commercial Storage

Food businesses may use dry ice for selected temporary cooling, processing and storage applications.

Potential users include:

• Food manufacturers
• Seafood suppliers
• Restaurants
• Catering companies
• Frozen-food distributors
• Cold-storage operations

If your application involves direct food contact, confirm the grade and suitability of the specific dry ice supplied before use.

Events & Special Effects

Dry ice can create a dramatic low-lying fog effect when combined with warm water or used in suitable professional equipment.

It may be used for:

• Weddings
• Stage performances
• Concerts
• Photography
• Product launches
• Corporate events
• Entertainment productions

Appropriate ventilation is essential because sublimating dry ice releases carbon dioxide gas.

Laboratories & Technical Cooling

16mm dry ice pellets may also be suitable for selected:

• Laboratory cooling
• Research applications
• Sample cooling
• Equipment cooling
• Technical processes

Customers with laboratory, pharmaceutical or other controlled applications should provide their exact temperature, documentation and product-grade requirements before ordering.

16mm Dry Ice Pellets vs 3mm Pellets

Different pellet sizes are designed for different applications.

16mm Dry Ice Pellets

Best suited primarily for:

• Frozen-food transportation
• Cold-chain packaging
• Commercial cooling
• Cold storage
• Events
• General-purpose dry ice cooling

The larger pellet format is convenient where sustained cooling and easier bulk handling are priorities.

3mm Dry Ice Pellets

3mm pellets are typically the preferred format for professional dry ice blasting and industrial cleaning machines.

Many commercial dry ice blasting systems are specifically designed around approximately 3mm pellets.

Need dry ice for blasting? Ask Ice Dry Ice about 3mm dry ice pellets rather than automatically ordering 16mm pellets.

How Long Do 16mm Dry Ice Pellets Last?

There is no single lifespan for dry ice.

The rate of sublimation depends on:

• Quantity of dry ice
• Pellet size
• Insulation
• Ambient temperature
• Airflow
• Container size
• How frequently the package is opened
• Temperature of the products being cooled

A properly insulated container can help reduce heat transfer and slow unnecessary dry ice loss.

How to Store 16mm Dry Ice Pellets

Dry ice should be stored inside an appropriate insulated container that allows carbon dioxide gas to escape.

To reduce unnecessary sublimation:

• Keep dry ice in suitable insulated packaging.
• Minimize unnecessary opening of the container.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Purchase it as close as practical to the time it will be used.
• Maintain adequate ventilation around storage areas.

Never Store Dry Ice in an Airtight Container

As dry ice sublimates, it produces carbon dioxide gas.

A completely sealed container can develop dangerous internal pressure as gas accumulates.

Always use suitable packaging that allows controlled venting.

Dry Ice Safety & Handling

At approximately −78.5°C, dry ice can cause serious cold burns or frostbite.

Safe Handling Guidelines

• Never handle dry ice with bare hands.
• Use appropriate insulated gloves.
• Protect exposed skin during extended handling.
• Keep dry ice away from children and untrained personnel.
• Use and store dry ice in well-ventilated areas.
• Never place dry ice inside a completely sealed container.
• Avoid using or storing large quantities in enclosed spaces.
• Follow applicable workplace safety procedures.

Carbon dioxide released during sublimation can displace oxygen if enough gas accumulates in an inadequately ventilated space.

Dry Ice for Shipping

Dry ice is commonly used for shipping frozen and temperature-sensitive products, but packages containing dry ice may be subject to additional transport requirements.

This is particularly important for:

• Air freight
• International shipments
• Courier transportation
• Regulated products
• Pharmaceutical shipments

Depending on the shipment, requirements may cover:

• Suitable packaging
• Ventilation
• Maximum dry ice quantities
• Markings
• Labels
• Documentation

Always confirm the current requirements with your courier, airline or logistics provider before dispatching a dry-ice shipment.
