Why Penguin Dry Ice?

True Low-Lying Fog

Easily set up special effects in any location without relying on electrical outlets, trailing extension cords, or creating tripping hazards.

Clean & Odorless

Enjoy thick, atmospheric smoke without artificial chemical smells, oily residues, or triggering indoor smoke detectors.

Keep Your Halloween Safe: Dry Ice Handling & Storage

To keep your event spooky without any real-world scares, follow these essential guidelines for working with dry ice setups:

Do's

Use Proper Protective Gear: Always wear insulated heavy gloves, oven mitts, or use tongs to handle dry ice. Wrap it with insulating material to prevent severe frostbite.
Maintain Proper Ventilation: Always use dry ice outdoors or in a well-ventilated area so carbon dioxide gas can dissipate safely without creating a suffocation risk in enclosed spaces.
Time Your Purchase: Buy your dry ice within 2–4 hours of your event for maximum volume, efficiency, and freshness.
Keep Out of Reach of Children: Keep dry ice safely away from kids at all times. Children should never touch or handle dry ice, even during supervised setups or experiments.

Don'ts

Never Touch Directly: Dry ice is -109.3°F (-78.5°C). Bare skin contact for even a few seconds can cause severe frostbite.
Don't Ingest or Drink: Never eat dry ice or drink beverages containing direct pieces—the body cannot digest it.
Don't Use Airtight Containers: Never seal dry ice in glass or airtight containers. Expanding gas builds pressure and risks explosion.
Don't Place on Bare Surfaces: Avoid resting dry ice directly on bare skin, tile, or laminate countertops to prevent thermal damage.
