Other Dry Ice Applications

Mosquito Control & Trapping

Among the many innovative dry ice applications, mosquito control is one of the most practical. Mosquitoes are naturally attracted to carbon dioxide (CO), and since dry ice sublimates into CO₂, it serves as the perfect agent for mosquito traps. This makes dry ice a greener, eco-friendly solution compared to traditional chemical repellents, leaving no by-products or residues to clean up afterwards.

Branding Livestock

Research suggests that freeze branding using Dry ice is more comfortable for cattle than hot iron branding. While hot iron branding makes a clean and legible scar on the surface of the hide, freeze branding destroys the pigment-producing cells in hair follicles, making them white.

School Experiments

In education, dry ice applications extend to hands-on science learning. Students can explore fascinating experiments involving dry ice fog, bubbles, and freezing reactions that demonstrate its unique physical properties. These experiments showcase how dry ice behaves under different conditions and inspire curiosity about chemistry and thermodynamics in a safe and engaging way.

Fishing & Recreation

Use dry ice to fast-freeze your catch on your next fishing trip by placing some dry ice on the bottom of your esky under regular ice to keep your esky chilled or frozen for longer.
