  • Sawdust is used for the purpose of preventing ice from melting by maintaining it's ( ice's ) temperature from the outer environment as it is a good insulator for the ice and effect the connection of ice's temperature from outer temperature.

  • Sawdust is used in wide range in industries to keep ice freeze.

→ Best insulator for this purpose → Styrofoam.

Sawdust put over ice act as an insulator for storing process.

Explanation:

  • Sawdust is a by-product or wastes generated for the production of wood, for example, sawing, drafting, planing, routing and sanding.
  • Pykrete is a frozen ice alloy, or some other type of wood pulp, made in an original form of about 14% sawdust.
  • The sawdust is used as a slow thermal isolation layer during the storage process.
  • Insulating the outside of the freezer with sawdust is likely to work well. Hold it loose as the air is insulated and the saw dust prevents convection.
