Dry Ice

Oman Industrial Gas Co. LLC (OIGC) supplies high-quality dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) manufactured to deliver consistent cooling performance across industrial, medical, and commercial applications. Dry ice sublimates at –78.5°C, providing powerful refrigeration without leaving liquid residue.

Production at OIGC

Dry ice is produced by compressing and liquefying high-purity carbon dioxide, followed by controlled expansion to form CO₂ snow. This snow is then compressed into blocks, pellets, or slices, depending on application requirements. The production process ensures consistent density, purity, and cooling performance.

Applications

Dry ice is widely used for:

• Cold-chain preservation of food, pharmaceuticals, and biological samples

• Medical and laboratory transportation

• Industrial cleaning (dry ice blasting)

• Temperature control during chemical and industrial processes

• Special effects and controlled fog generation
