Technical Gas Dry Ice — non-food solid CO₂ for maintenance, testing and utilities
Technical Gas Dry Ice from REAL GAZ is solid carbon dioxide intended for non-food technical operations, produced from technical-grade liquid CO₂.
The product is supplied dry and free of lubricant, so it can be used near machinery, wiring and pipework.

Packing and transport follow ADR provisions for UN 1845, and ventilation advice is based on EN 378 principles for carbon dioxide safety.
Maintenance teams often turn to Technical Gas Dry Ice for tasks that would be awkward with liquids. A block pressed against a small-bore pipe freezes the water inside to form a temporary plug, which allows a valve to be replaced without draining the system. Dry ice is also used to cool components for press-fits, to trace leaks in ducts when fog forms, and to simulate thermal shock in electronic assemblies. Because it is not made for food contact, the specification emphasises hardness and uniform pellet size rather than taste-related limits. Operators should avoid confined spaces, as sublimating carbon dioxide displaces air.
Plan the job before the delivery arrives. Estimate the weight from the pipe diameter or part mass, prepare insulated gloves and eye protection, and confirm that the area has adequate airflow. We can advise on how many kilograms are needed for typical freezing, cooling and testing tasks, and on how to dispose of leftovers safely by letting them sublime outdoors.

🏭 Where Technical Dry Ice Is Used
- 🔧 Pipe freezing — local ice plugs isolate a section of small pipework without draining the line;
- 🌫️ Leak tracing — dense CO₂ fog reveals leaks in ducts, tanks and sealed enclosures;
- 🧪 Thermal shock tests — rapid cooling checks how electronics and coatings handle sudden temperature drops;
- 🏭 Equipment cooling — solid CO₂ can chill moulds and rubber parts during trimming and deflashing.
