For blasting crews
A steady 3 mm feed for dry ice blasting machines. Cut to order, so it meters evenly and wastes less than aged stock.

Made in Metro Vancouver
Produced locally in the Lower Mainland, up to 30,000 lb a day. Not shipped in from out of province.
Dry ice starts losing density the minute it's made. We run our own line in Metro Vancouver and cut every order to spec. You get denser product, slower sublimation, and none of it trucked in from Alberta or out of province. Locally made and operated, start to finish.

Talk to usWho we supply
One local source across the industries that live and die on temperature, from Vancouver and Surrey to Richmond, Burnaby and Langley. Product cut to order, formats to match, a schedule you can plan around.
Consistent 3 mm pellets, cut to order and ready when your crews are. No stale stock sitting in a bin losing density before it hits the nozzle.
Slices and blocks that hold temperature from the dock to the last drop. Cold chain that stays intact through the whole run.
Cold-chain integrity for samples, vaccines and reagents. Sub-zero and steady, no liquid runoff, handled to the standard regulated cold storage needs. When the region's local manufacturer closed, this demand went unserved across the Lower Mainland. We're picking it back up.
Ground fog, chilled displays, stage effects. Nuggets and blocks in the volume a shoot or a show actually needs.
Flight-ready cooling, minutes from YVR. Cut to fit the cart, delivered on your kitchen's schedule.
Airline cut · YVR
Airline cut is made for the tight tolerances of aviation catering. Uniform tiles, even cooling, food-safe handling, and a delivery schedule that lines up with your kitchen. Our plant sits about 15 minutes from YVR, so supply stays dense and on time. This one is made to order, so give us your cart spec and volume.
Uniform tiles that fit standard catering containers and carts. Better airflow, less wasted space, even cooling across the load.
Holds temperature through long-haul flights and extended transport, so meals and sensitive cargo stay safe the whole way.
Cut to meet aviation and food-safety handling standards for in-flight use and specialty cargo.

About
Polar Sharks is an independent dry ice manufacturer in Metro Vancouver, locally made and operated. We run this equipment ourselves, so we know what dense, correctly-cut ice does for a job, and what stale ice quietly costs you. That's the standard we hold our own product to.
The name? The Greenland shark is the only shark that spends its whole life under polar ice. A real polar shark. Felt about right for a crew that makes cold for a living.
