Crystal Ice

An aqueous, high water absorption polymer used to simulate crushed and cracked ice. Its resemblance to real ice is striking. It is supplied in granular form to which water is added in varying amounts. The material produced is gelatinous to the touch, but appears crisp and cool. You would choose this product for any shoot that calls for a large amount of crushed ice, but it is not recommended for use in beverages. In that situation our Soft Floating Ice is better. Crystal Ice is long lasting and is not affected by hot studio lights. It is also completely non-toxic, odorless, and biodegradable. Safe to dispose of in the trash. Crystal Ice is non-irritating and its stability in its dry form is indefinite. Use Distilled water for best results.
