Implementing correct usage and stringent self-protection measures are imperative in the handling of industrial essentials like helium gas, dry ice, dry ice blasting, dry ice handling equipment, and cold storage solutions. Adhering to precise protocols not only ensures operational efficiency but also prioritizes the safety of personnel and environmental integrity.
Safety guidelines for handling helium gas and tanks primarily focus on proper storage, secure handling, and ensuring adequate ventilation to prevent the displacement of oxygen in confined spaces. Proper adherence to these guidelines is important to ensure safety in various industrial and scientific applications.
Helium tank contents under pressure.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Balloons pose a choking hazard for children under eight. Adult supervision is essential. Keep uninflated balloons away and promptly discard broken ones to ensure safety.
Avoid placing the nozzle in the mouth or nose to prevent serious injury or death. By doing so can harm the lungs and body parts as the cylinder contains compressed helium under pressure.
Avoid inhaling helium! Use only in well-ventilated areas. Never use in closed spaces, as helium diminishes oxygen. It poses a risk of serious injury or death through inhalation.
Lite Series is non-refillable! Do not refill with any material. Refilling may cause violent bursting, leading to serious injury or death.
Avoid storing in damp areas to prevent cylinder rust. Rusting may lead to violent bursting, causing serious injury or death. Store in dry conditions for safety.
Avoid exposing the cylinder to direct heat or fire to prevent the pressure relief device from activating. Sudden pressure discharge can cause serious injury or death.
Avoid mistreating the tank. Don't drop on sharp surfaces! Punctures can cause a sudden release of contents leading to serious injury or death. Handle with care.
It is made from 30% recycle steel and 50% recycled corrugated. Recycling programs for the product may not exist in your area. Please contact your local solid waste authority for more details.
Do not release balloons outdoor in free flight. Releasing balloons in the open air can lead to environmental pollution, harm wildlife, and create litter. Following this instruction promotes responsible environmental behavior and helps in preserving the ecosystem.
The diameter of the fully inflated balloon.
The longest size of the uninflated balloon.
Remove the seal.
Ensure an O-Ring is seated in the nozzle to avoid gas leaking.
Install the nozzle.
Turn the green valve open. Push the nozzle down to release gas.
Inflate balloons to the recommended size to avoid deformation or popping.
Altitude, temperature, atmospheric pressure and humidity will affect the float time and balloon size.
Please do not inflate balloons with your mouth.

Whether you’re using it for special effects, preserving perishable items, or conducting scientific experiments, dry ice can be a fascinating and useful experience for it.
However, it’s crucial to approach dry ice with care and attention to safety, as its extreme cold temperature and unique properties require specific handling protocols to safeguard your well-being and the effectiveness of your projects.
In this guide, we will delve into the fundamental principles of handling dry ice in a safe and efficient manner, equipping you with the information and safety measures necessary for confident and responsible interaction with this captivating material.
DO NOT touch with bare hands to avoid deep freezing of tissue. Wear glove, covered shoes and covered clothes when handling dry ice.
DO NOT eat.
Avoid inhalation and contact with skin, eye, and clothing.
Open all window when transporting dry ice using passenger vehicle.
DO NOT leave dry ice unattended in open areas as it can present risks to both humans and animals, as well as attract insects.
Never dispose of dry ice in a chemical waste container or garbage/waste bin.
Proper storage and disposal of dry ice are critical aspects of ensuring safety and environmental responsibility. Understanding the correct methods for handling these frozen carbon dioxide pellets is essential to prevent accidents and promote safe usage. We will explore you the guidelines for storing and disposing of dry ice, providing essential insights for safe handling.
DO NOT place in air-tight containers of confined spaces to avoid burst
Store and use with adequate ventilation
Store in a cool area to minimize generating smoke and vapours
Storage areas should be clean and dry
Store at in properly labelled container
DO NOT place dry ice in home refrigerator's freezer compartment as the extreme cold agent can potentially damage the components of a regular refrigerator or freezer, such as the plastic or rubber seals, thermostat, or other sensitive parts

The ASCO Dry Ice Blasting Machines accelerate the pellets with compressed air to a speed of approx. 300 m/s (984.25 ft/s). The pellets hit the object to be cleaned. The surface is shock-frozen in a fraction of a second. Due to the cracking of the surface, the pellets can reach under the dirt and remove it using their kinetic energy.
Immediately after impact, the pellets sublimate without leaving any moisture behind. Since the hardness of the pellets is only approx. 2 Mohs, the cleaning is virtually non-abrasive, and the surface quality is maintained.
As a result of sudden and intense temperature shock on the surface, the coating or impurity contracts.
As a result of the contraction the coating cracks and the material becomes brittle due to the cold.
The dry ice pellets hit the surface with great speed and remove the detached coating and clean the surface materials.

One of the key components of our storage equipment is Styrofoam, which is composed of about 98% air. This unique characteristic allows Styrofoam to trap air in countless small pockets, creating millions of tiny air bubbles within the foam.
Since air is a poor conductor of heat, Styrofoam efficiently prevents heat transfer. Unlike materials that conduct heat easily, air’s low mass limits its ability to store a significant amount of heat, resulting in minimal heat transfer through convection. Additionally, Styrofoam is not an effective conductor or radiator of heat, further blocking the flow of heat energy. Its ability to reduce both conduction and convection makes it one of the best existing insulators.
By utilizing Styrofoam in our storage equipment, we achieve excellent temperature control, insulation, and user-friendly interfaces, ensuring optimal storage conditions and extending the life of dry ice for your convenience and peace of mind.
Never handle Dry Ice with bare hands. We prioritize your safety, so please remember to use proper protective gear when handling dry ice.
With our user-friendly tools and safety tips, we’re here to make your dry ice experience as smooth and worry-free as possible. Let’s make the most of dry ice while keeping it fresh and safe for all your cooling needs!
When dealing with dry ice, it’s crucial to wear synthetic gloves that provide insulation against the extreme cold temperatures. Our dry ice handling gloves are specially designed to keep your hands warm and dry throughout the process. Frostbite is a real concern, and it’s essential to take precautions.
If you notice reddening of the skin after handling dry ice, it’s best to treat the injured hand or fingers as you would a burn. However, keep in mind that dry ice is so cold that it can actually damage cells. If your skin turns white, it’s crucial to seek medical attention promptly.
Our ongoing quest for an improved method to extend the lifespan of dry ice in cold storage led us to a streamlined solution. Sejuk Dry Ice Vacuum Flask is specially designed to maintain an extremely low temperature while preserving up to 5 kilograms of dry ice for a period of 5 days. Furthermore, it comes with easy maintenance steps to ensure optimal performance.
