As supply chains grow more complex, maintaining temperature integrity requires granular cooling solutions. Dry ice packets (solid CO₂ units) provide surgical-grade temperature control for last-mile logistics, clinical trials, and e-commerce perishables where bulk systems fail.
Technical Superiority of Unitized Dry Ice
1. Targeted Cryogenic Performance
-
Maintains -78.5°C at point-of-need
-
40% longer thermal hold vs. gel equivalents
-
Precision cooling for:
-
High-value biologics
-
Diagnostic specimens
-
Premium perishables
-
2. Zero-Contamination Sublimation
-
Solid→gas phase change eliminates:
-
Product immersion risks
-
Secondary packaging requirements
-
Cross-contamination potential
-
3. Logistics Optimization
-
30% space reduction vs. traditional cooling
-
Enables mixed-TL (Truckload) configurations
-
Simplified handling with unit-dose convenience
