What Are 16mm Dry Ice Pellets?
16mm refers to the approximate pellet diameter used for many retail cooling applications. The larger pellet format is easy to handle with insulated gloves or tongs and works well inside EPS insulated boxes.
Dry ice remains extremely cold at approximately −78.5°C, so safe handling and ventilation are required regardless of pellet size.
Common Uses for 16mm Pellets
The format is suitable for general cooling and transport rather than specialized blasting machinery.
- Frozen food and dessert transport
- Medical and laboratory logistics
- Event fog effects
- Emergency freezer cooling
- Commercial cold-chain applications
16mm vs 3mm Dry Ice Pellets
Approximately 16mm pellets are the standard retail-focused format, while 3mm pellets are intended for compatible industrial dry ice blasting and cleaning equipment. Choose based on application rather than assuming smaller pellets are better for every use.
