Space-saving in storage, functional and safe in use! Our innovative PolarPads are about 8x more efficient than gel packs at absorbing heat, resulting in better protection of temperature-sensitive shipments. They do not cause freezer burn even when in direct contact with food, making them ideal for transporting perishable products that require refrigeration , such as mushrooms, truffles, meat, seafood, dairy products, chocolate, fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc.
After the cold packs are watered and frozen, they are ready for use in refrigerated transportation.
- guarantee temperature stability from 24 to 48 hours
- are FDA and CE approved, so they can be used anywhere without any restriction: air freight, postal shipping, truck transportation, catering, internet shipping, sports, wellness, etc.
- low storage space requirement
- do not lose water during thawing, can therefore be reused
- cooling powder is sealed in a cell made of polyethylene
- can be cut to the desired size
- compared to dry ice, PolarPads are not dangerous goods (UN 1845 / Class 9 / P.I. 904 I I)
Activation of the cooling elements
Place the PolarPads in a water bath. After approx. 20 minutes the cells are swollen. They can now be frozen in the freezer for at least 12 hours (recommended 24 hours), depending on the application, down to minus -79° Celsius.
Advantages of the Plus-Pads compared to the Basic-Pads
The Plus-Pads have an additional micro-permeable polyethylene film over the fleece. This means that they do not stick together during freezing and are more resistant.
Our recommendation
- Cover or wrap the product completely with PolarPads.
- Avoid voids in the shipping package, these will shorten the cooling time.
- When freezing the Basic-Pads, make sure that the two plastic sides are placed on top of each other (not the fleece side otherwise sticks together).
Calculation of the required quantity of cooling elements
The length and width of the package divided by 6.5 gives the number of PolarPads cells.
Example:
Package length 40 cm | 40:6.5 = 6.1 cells
Package width 30 cm | 30:6.5 = 4.6 cells
6.1 cellsx4.6 cells = 28 cells
