Custom Cold Pack

Product Details:

A Gel Ice Cold Pack refers to a portable bag filled with water, any liquid or refrigerant gel that’s provides cooling. These are of two types: (A) Reusable Type: which can be reused by freezing and (B) Instant Type: which cools through chemicals and can be used only once.

The reusable type is mainly used to keep food in portable coolers and in insulated shipping (to keep products cool in transport) whereas the instant type is limited to medical use against pain and minor injuries. It is well noted that ice packs are found in millions of homes and are used for various different purposes such as keeping food cold and icing an injury. Depending on the type of ice cold pack, there are different ingredients in it and these packs come in different forms. Some are n cute shapes with gel-like beads in them. Other ice packs are soft when thawed and solid when frozen. There are also ‘instant ice packs’ found in first aid kits, which are normally stored in room temperature.

The instant ice packs are most commonly used and these are filled with water and a chemical reactor. It should be well noted that when this bag is squeezed, water tends to interact well with the chemical to start a reaction that lowers the temperature of water to almost freezing temperature. The chemicals herewith are chiefly urea, calcium ammonium nitrate or ammonium nitrate. The most toxic chemical is ammonium nitrate which can cause dilation of blood vessels. This in turn can lower the blood pressure and reduce the amount of blood circulating to different body organs. This can also lead to impairment in the oxygen carrying ability of RBCs in the body – a condition termed as methemoglobinemia. At times, it can lead to complete destruction of the RBCs – a condition termed as hemolysis. The symptoms of hemolysis and methemoglobinemia includes bluish lips or nail beds, headache, fatigue, shortness of breath and dizziness.

The reusable ice packs normally contain water, blue color non-toxic agent and silica gel. The ingredient used to lower the temperature is normally propylene glycol. There are other kinds of reusable ice products which come in different forms such has ice cubes and ice packs filled with small gel beads. These are normally filled with distilled water. Some reusable ice packs contain toxic substances such as diethylene glycol or ethylene glycol, which are no longer available.

The gel ice packs are used as ‘Ice Replacement Solution’ for cold chain shipping and packaging. It needs to be noted and well understood that gel ice packs are eco-friendly as well as non-toxic in nature. These gel ice packs are ideal for shipping of temperature sensitive products. Gel ice packs keep foods, perishables, pharmaceuticals and other temperature sensitive products cold and fresh during storage, cold chain packaging and shipping. The gel ice packs are simple to use.
