Bama Ice, Dry Ice and Carbonics

Bama Springwater & Ice Company, Inc. carries dry ice. Dry ice is Carbon Dioxide (Carbonic Anhydride) frozen to a temperature of -109.3 degrees Farenheit.

 

Handling of Dry Ice

  • DO NOT handle with bare hands; it can cause severe burns. Use tongs, cloth gloves, a cloth napkin or other separator to prevent direct skin contact.
  • DO NOT taste or put dry ice in mouth.
  • DO NOT place in tightly stoppered or sealed container.
  • DO NOT inhale. Provide adequate ventilation; heavy carbon dioxide vapor released may cause suffocation.
  • DO NOT leave dry ice on a tiled countertop. The extreme cold could damage the tile. A wooden bread board is ideal for dry ice.

Storage of Dry Ice

  • Dry ice should be wrapped first in a poly bag and then in newspaper or a towel.
  • For longer storage, place wrapped dry ice in a styrofoam or other picnic cooler.

Disposal of Dry Ice

  • Unwrap and leave at room temperature in a well ventilated area. It will sublimate from a solid state to a gas.
  • DO NOT leave dry ice unattended around children.

Use Dry Ice In Coolers (camping, hunting & fishing)

  • Place the dry ice in the bottom of your cooler, cover it completely with ice cubes. Then pack your cooler as normal with food and beverage items. The cooler will keep items cold for 3-4 days.

Punch Bowl Fun

  • Dry ice used in punch or liquids will add carbonation and cool the mixture without the dilution qualities associated with regular ice. To avoid breakage of glass punch bowls from the extreme cold, use small pieces of dry ice sparingly. Do not overload the container and do not ingest dry ice.

Create Fun Fog With Dry Ice

  • Fog effects are created using heated water which is kept warm either by an electric skillet or hot plate, or by replenishing water as the mixture is cooled by the dry ice.
  • Use half dollar size pieces sparingly. Do not overload.

Carbonated Beverage Recipe

  • To make 1 gallon, mix:
  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 1 gallon of water
  • 1 oz. Schilling Flavor Extract
  • Then add 1-2 pounds of dry ice. Be sure all dry ice has vaporized before consuming.
