Northeast Gas & Ice has been a family-owned and operated industrial gas and dry ice supplier since 1958. For over six decades our family has built its reputation on consistent, hands-on service — daily delivery routes, direct dispatch, and the same family making the decisions.
We run daily delivery routes Monday through Friday across all six New England states:
Same-day pickup is available at our Westborough, MA facility for customers who prefer to pull product directly. Call (508) 257-1680 to confirm the next delivery day in your area.
Pellets, blocks, totes, and bulk supply for cold-chain shipping, blasting, food processing, and lab use.
You can buy dry ice in Massachusetts directly from our Westborough facility at 97 Turnpike Rd, with same-day pickup Monday through Friday, 9 AM – 4 PM. We also deliver dry ice on daily routes throughout MA, NH, VT, ME, CT, and RI. Call (508) 257-1680 ahead so your order is staged and ready when you arrive.
We stock six categories of dry ice:
See our dry ice product page for full specifications.
Dry ice typically loses 5 – 10 lb per 24 hours in a properly insulated container at room temperature. Larger blocks last longer than pellets because of their lower surface-area-to-mass ratio. Insulated HR-11 and HR-27 totes hold dry ice for several days; standard hard-shell coolers hold for 18–36 hours depending on insulation and outdoor temperature.
Yes. We offer HR-11 and HR-27 insulated tote rental and purchase. HR-11 holds 500–700 lb of dry ice; HR-27 holds 1,000–1,400 lb depending on form (blasting pellets, pellets, or block). Totes are ideal for on-site dry ice storage when you need extended hold time without ongoing pickups. Contact us to set up a rental program.
Yes. Our 3mm dry ice pellets are sized specifically for dry ice blasting equipment used in non-abrasive cleaning of molds, machinery, electrical equipment, and food-processing lines. We supply pellets in 50 lb boxes, 250 lb totes, and pallet quantities — and run high-volume programs for production blasting contractors.
Pure gases, blends, and ultra-high-purity specialty gases for every operation type.
We supply nitrogen (N₂), oxygen (O₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), argon (Ar), helium (He), acetylene, and propane. Available in 20 – 300 cf compressed cylinders, 160 L and 230 L liquid Dewars, and bulk tanks from 750 lb up to 13,000 gallons. Common applications: food & beverage, manufacturing, metalworking, electronics, pharma, and laboratory work.
Yes. We stock the full range of welding shielding gases:
Available in 80, 125, 250, and 330 cf cylinders. Same-day cylinder exchange at our Westborough dock. See welding gases for full details.
Yes. We build custom welding mixtures to your weld procedure — argon, helium, CO₂, and oxygen blends in any specification. Common applications include stainless-steel MIG (Tri-Mix), aluminum TIG (100% Ar), exotic-alloy welding, and plasma cutting. Call (508) 257-1680 with your spec and we'll quote.
Yes. We supply 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 grade ultra-high-purity nitrogen, helium, argon, and oxygen for analytical labs, semiconductor fabrication, and laser applications. We also supply NIST-traceable calibration mixtures for gas detection, emissions monitoring, and instrument calibration, with full certificates of analysis on request. See specialty gases for grades and container sizes.
High-volume gas supply for breweries, food production, biotech, manufacturing, and research.
Yes. We install stationary bulk CO₂ tanks in 750, 1,000, 2,500, and 6,000 lb capacities for breweries, restaurants, beverage plants, and food production facilities. Installation is turnkey — site survey, permits, install, and ongoing preventive maintenance — with telemetry-based refill monitoring available so you never run out mid-batch.
Yes. We offer real-time tank-level telemetry monitoring with automatic refill scheduling on bulk and Micro Bulk vessels. Telemetry eliminates run-outs and lets us schedule refills before your tank reaches reorder threshold. Compatible with all bulk and Micro Bulk vessels we install.
We install 1,500, 3,000, 6,000, 9,000, and 13,000 gallon stationary cryogenic tanks for liquid nitrogen (LIN), liquid oxygen (LOX), liquid argon (LAR), and liquid carbon dioxide (LCO₂). For lower-volume customers we offer Micro Bulk vessels in 180 L, 240 L, 450 L, and 1,500 L sizes — bulk economics without a permanent install. See bulk gases for full specs.
How and when to get product from us — same-day pickup, scheduled routes, or both.
Yes. Same-day pickup is available at our Westborough, MA facility (97 Turnpike Rd) Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM. We recommend calling (508) 257-1680 ahead so your order is staged and ready when you arrive.
Yes. We deliver Monday through Friday on daily routes across MA, NH, VT, ME, CT, and RI. Call dispatch at (508) 257-1680 to confirm the next delivery day in your area.
Pickup hours at our Westborough dock are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Eastern. Dispatch and customer service are reachable at (508) 257-1680 during the same hours.
Setting up an account, getting a quote, and ordering for the first time.
Contact us by phone at (508) 257-1680 or through our contact form. We'll walk you through the credit application, schedule a site assessment if bulk supply is needed, and put together a delivery program built around your operation — frequency, products, container sizes, and pickup vs. delivery preferences.
Submit a quote request through our contact page or call (508) 257-1680 with your product, quantity, frequency, and delivery location. We respond within one business day with pricing and delivery options.
Both. Walk-in pickup of dry ice does not require an account — call ahead to (508) 257-1680 to confirm availability and pricing. Recurring delivery, cylinder programs, and bulk supply work better on an account so we can schedule routes and exchange cylinders efficiently.
SDS sheets, certificates of analysis, and handling guidance.
Safety Data Sheets are available on request for any product we supply — dry ice, industrial gases, welding gases, specialty gases, and bulk cryogenic systems. Call (508) 257-1680 or email us and we'll send the SDS for the specific product and grade you ordered.
Yes. We provide certificates of analysis on request for ultra-high-purity gases, calibration mixtures, and other specialty gases. NIST-traceable documentation is available for calibration mixes used in gas detection, emissions monitoring, and instrument calibration.
Call dispatch for same-day questions, or send a message and we'll respond within one business day.
