Not sure what you are asking here exactly, but Ice makers in the centuries before refrigeration often used sawdust to insulate ice blocks in the ice houses, to slow the rate of melting. And to prevent the blocks from sticking together.

What is an ice cube?
Ice cubes are small, roughly cube-shaped pieces of ice, conventionally used to cool beverages. Ice cubes are often preferred over crushed ice because they melt more slowly; they are standard in mixed drinks that call for ice, in which case the drink is said to be "on the rocks."Ice cubes are produced domestically by filling an ice cube tray with water and placing it in a freezer. Many freezers also come equipped with an icemaker, which produces ice cubes automatically and stores them in a bin from which they can be dispensed directly into a glass. Ice cubes out of a tray are generally longer and thinner, requiring less force to remove them from the tray and thereby reducing the likelihood of the cube becoming stuck in the dispenser.There are also dedicated ice-maker machines used to produce ice cubes for laboratories and academic use. Ice cubes are also produced commercially and sold in bulk; these ice cubes, despite their name, are often cylindrical, and may have holes through the center. An interesting characteristic of commercially made ice cubes is that they are completely clear, lacking the clouding found in the center of domestically made ice cubes.
Why do ice cubes pop when they are put in water?
The sound of the popping comes from the ice cube shattering or cracking. The liquid that the ice cubes are dropped into is warmer than the cubes, so the cube startes to warm, which causes the ice to expand, making it crack and hence the popping sound.
