This product does not bio accumulate and should never be dumped into a landfill when finished with. This product should always be placed into the ground as it is a great water retainer and will breakdown over several years.

·        It can be safely used as a decoration around food.

·       Do be careful when placing   D'ziner Snow in places where people will be walking, make sure that  there is substantial traction in the ground surface, and the area is not adjacent to polished or glazed surfaces.  It is important that you exercise care in the location of D’ziner Snow in any walkways.  We recommend that as an alternative you use D’ziner Snow as a feature beside walkways and at entrances.

         Q.  How long will the snow last?

            A.   D'ziner Snow will dry out over time. It have good durability:

Outdoors - D’ziner snow changes its characteristics when exposed to UV light in a very short time period. It is advisable that if the product is to be exposed to UV light then keep this period as short as possible and dump the product into the garden or lawn. It can not be dehydrated and reused once it has been exposed to direct sunlight.

Indoors – D’ziner Snow will last several years as long as the product is well looked after and kept free of contaminants.

D'ziner Snow can be frozen and carved to create statues, snowmen etc. We recommend that you experiment with a quantity of formulated D'ziner Snow before attempting any major or regular applications. Please remembe that water expands when it is frozen and this could potentially damage the polymer beads which are the basis of the product.

       Q.  How do you decorate surfaces like trees?

          A.  Use a fine water spray to cover areas for decoration.  Dust D’ziner Snow powder over  the            area and then cover with a mist of the water spray to create artificial snow. Tree may need to            be sprayed every day or two as snow starts to shrink.

      Q.  How do I store D’ziner Snow after use?

         A.   If D'ziner snow has been looked after and kept clean and out of direct sunlight you can store it by placing it in a pail and sealing it. D'ziner Snow can be dried out and it reverts back to nearly powder form and can be re-constituted as snow when required. This process can not be sped up as the water needs to evaporate from the beads at its own speed, this could  take up to several months, depending on a few factors such as, storage, outside temperature and how much snow has been made up.
