Cryonite is a unique and patented system that uses carbon dioxide to literally freeze insects to death.

Cryonite is recommended for use in food manufacturing plants, residential facilities, warehouses, malls, hotels, resorts, offices, condominium, logistics, food chain establishments, hospitals & schools.

How does CRYONITE work?

Making the snow

The CO₂ is in a liquid form in the tube and will come out frozen (snow) from the nozzle. About half of the CO₂ will become cold gas, blowing the snow forward into the pests hiding places.

The CO₂ snow made by CRYONITE is a mixture of 3 different types of particles: small, medium and large sizes. The three together will form snow with optimum freezing qualities. This mixture has been tested to give the optimum result against pests.

Killing the pests

When the CO₂ snow hits surfaces at normal temperatures it evaporates and becomes CO₂ gas. During this process energy is required and this heat energy is extracted from the immediate surroundings. If insects are part of the immediate surroundings the energy is taken from them and extreme cooling results, the water in their cells crystallizes to ice, killing the insects. This crystallization occurs when the pest is cooled to -20ºC to -30ºC. Material will only be chilled on the surface. Most materials have the ability to transport energy from their larger mass. This results in relatively small drops in temperature here. When the pest is deep frozen, it has to stay frozen for a short while. CRYONITE’s particles are optimized for reaching the pest, and clinging to it.

STERIX Incorporated, a registered pest management company servicing the major industrial companies in the Philippines, has recently inked an agreement with CTS Technologies AG, Switzerland, for the local use of a patented technology in controlling crawling insects that is totally pesticide- and poison-free. This technology, called Cryonite, was awarded as Best New Product of 2005 by the Society of Food Hygiene and Technology, UK.
