Dry ice gel, also known as dry ice slurry or dry ice paste, is a mixture of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) and a liquid, typically water or a solvent. The dry ice is crushed into small particles and mixed with the liquid, forming a thick slushy substance.
This mixture has several applications, including in food preservation, medical transportation, and special effects. The gel form of dry ice provides a convenient way to handle and transport dry ice while also offering efficient cooling properties.
