Dry Ice Shipping Options

Continental Carbonic's superior dry ice shipping containers minimize sublimation losses. Dry ice converts (or sublimates) from solid CO2 to vapor CO2 in an environment warmer than -109 degrees F. Continental Carbonic minimizes its own and its customers' dry ice sublimation losses by scheduling production to match customer demand and using proper dry ice storage techniques, including the use of sanitized, insulated, stainless steel-lined dry ice containers. Our timely dry ice production and superior dry ice containers mean you get more for your money at Continental Carbonic. See also Guide for Dry Ice Shipping.

Continental Carbonic Adds Additional Protection for Food Industry

Continental Carbonic has stepped up its efforts to provide its food grade customers with contaminant-free dry ice. We have always thoroughly washed our containers every time they come back to our plants but as of January 2010, we are now also applying SurfaSan, a bacterial sanitizer, to all stainless steel containers throughout our company.

Before and after results from a third party analytic testing service show a significant reduction in cfu/swab in containers that have been treated with this sanitizer. We see this as the direction that the food industry is headed and wanted to get out in front of it. See also SurfaSan MSDS.
