It starts as a flat sheet and absorbs water
through a special perforation technology in the surface of the
product.
-
Scrunch the sheets between your hands whilst
immersed in warm water for a few minutes until the air bubbles
have escaped.
-
The hydration process will now begin and the
cells will swell ready for the products to be used both cold or
hot.
The water enters through the surface and
activates the polymer, which then swells the sheet into 24
individually sealed cells Which enables the product to be
flexible when frozen and cut to size.
Hints for optimum
performance of your Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs
1. Always use a minimum of 1 sheet per 7-8 litres
of cooler size. The more mass of Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs /
gel packs the better, and the longer it will last. Techni Ice
reusable dry ice packs / gel packs take up less room than regular
water ice, and is lighter.
2. Place a sheet or more on top of your food, as
cold falls.
3. The colder the food or drinks are when placed
into the cooler, the longer Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel
packs will keep them that way.
4. It can also be cut to size, between the
individual cells, to fit your application.
5. If you are going away for an extended period,
turn your freezer to maximum freeze(approx. -18C) for 3 or 4 days
before departing. Unlike water ice, Techni Ice reusable dry ice
packs / gel packs being an industrial refrigerant, will maintain
temperatures beyond -25C. The lower the temperature Techni Ice
reusable dry ice packs / gel packs are frozen at, the longer it
stays frozen.
6. Storage. When not using your Techni Ice
reusable dry ice packs / gel packs they can be stored in an open
plastic bag in a cupboard or freezer. They are virtually maintenance
free, but can be run under the water every so often to maintain or
regain hydration. Remember to leave a thumb indentation in each cell
for room to expand whilst freezing.
7. Travel Hint. Say you are going away for
a long period. If you take 2 coolers you can take full advantage of
Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs commercial
performance. Freeze several sheets and put them in your spare
cooler. Fill your first cooler as usual with another lot for
immediate use. When the first set thaws out, replace them from the
second cooler, and continue your trip.

in Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs losing its chill
much quicker than if used by itself.
