Important Information about Dry Ice
- You must be 18 or older to purchase dry ice.
- Never allow children to handle dry ice.
- Do not ingest dry ice.
- Caution - use in a well-ventilated area. Carbon Dioxide gas from dry ice displaces oxygen!
- Do not allow anyone - babies, children, adults or pets, to lie down in the fog. CO2 gas does not support life.
- When using dry ice, follow all safety instructions!
SAFETY INFORMATION
SOLID CARBON DIOXIDE (DRY ICE) CAS 124-38-9
- Extremely cold solid (-110°F). Avoid contact with exposed flesh, can cause severe frostbite.
- Dry ice evaporates (sublimes) to form carbon dioxide gas which does not support life. Do not breathe gas! Exposure can cause rapid suffocation!
- Exposure can cause respiratory distress and eventual suffocation.
- Carbon Dioxide gas is heavier than air, especially when cold, and can accumulate in low areas such as floors and confined spaces such as pits, basements, and tank bottoms where it can cause suffocation.
- Do not enter areas where carbon dioxide vapor may have accumulated without first testing for carbon dioxide and oxygen content.
- Store and use with adequate ventilation.
- Do not store in a tight container. Pressure developed as solid evaporates (sublimes) could burst airtight containers.
- Wear suitable clothing and gloves when handling.
- Use only with equipment designed for low temperatures.
- Non-Flammable - does not support combustion.
- Use in accordance with the supplier's material safety data sheet.
FIRST AID: IN CASE OF FROSTBITE, OBTAIN MEDICAL TREATMENT IMMEDIATELY. IF INHALED, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION, PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A PHYSICIAN.
