3. Crystal Clear & Artisanal Ice

Q9: How long does artisanal ice take to melt in a drink compared to regular ice?
A: Typically, artisanal ice lasts about an hour in a drink, while regular ice melts within 10 minutes.

Q10: How is artisanal ice made?
A: Artisanal ice is hand-cut from large blocks of perfectly clear ice by Iceman artisans. Each piece is crystal clear and crafted for bars and mixologists.

Q11: Why is artisanal ice the choice of expert bartenders and mixologists?
A: Because it melts slower, it causes less dilution, keeping the taste and aroma of premium drinks intact.

Q12: What’s the difference between Iceman Crystal Clear Ice and Iceman Artisanal Ice?
A: “Artisanal” refers to the handcrafted version of our Crystal Clear Ice. Both are ultra-clear, but artisanal ice is shaped manually for a luxurious finish.

4. Dry Ice

Q14: What types of dry ice does Iceman supply?
A: We supply Dry Ice Pellets and Dry Ice Slabs.
– Pellets: Small cylindrical pieces ideal for food transport, laboratory use, and fog effects.
– Slabs: Large blocks designed for industrial cooling, cold-chain logistics, and frozen storage.

Q15: What is dry ice used for?
A: Dry ice is used for food preservation, special effects (fog/smoke), and cold-chain logistics. It’s perfect for keeping goods frozen without leaving water residue.

Q16: How long does dry ice last?
A: The duration depends on storage, form, and amount:
– Pellets: 3–5 hours in open air, up to 18 hours in insulated containers (based on around 5 kg stored in a 20–30L insulated box). Smaller quantities (1–2 kg) sublimate faster, while larger volumes (10–20 kg) can last up to 24 hours.
– Slabs: 6–8 hours in open air, up to 24 hours in insulated boxes.

Q17: How long does the fog or smoke effect last when using dry ice?
A: Fog duration depends on quantity of dry ice pellets and water temperature:
– 1 kg of pellets in hot water generates dense fog for 5–8 minutes.
– 2–3 kg of pellets produce fog for 10–20 minutes, depending on air movement and water replenishment.
– For continuous fog, top up both warm water and pellets as needed.

Q18: How should I handle and store dry ice?
A: Always use gloves or tongs, and never touch directly to prevent frost burns. Store in ventilated coolers only — never in airtight containers or freezers.

Q19: Do you provide packaging for dry ice?
A: Yes. We supply thermal bags and insulated boxes depending on volume and usage. Our team can advise the best packaging for your needs.

Q20: Are your products certified?
A: Yes. All our food-grade ice products are FSSC certified, and selected lines including Tube Ice, Crushed Ice, and Dry Ice are Halal certified.
