Gel Ice Pack
A water based biodegradable, non toxic gel refrigerant sealed in a two ply laminated nylon pouch which is specifically designed for shipping temperature sensitive products. It is a recommended economical replacement for wet ice and dry ice.
Instructions for Cold Use
Lay flat in a freezer at -15°C to -18°C until completely frozen and use.
If using for commercial transport/shipping of food or medical products it is critical to place frozen gel ice packs above food or medical products as cold air falls. For optimum cooling avoid dead spaces and place additional gel ice packs at the bottom and along sides of the shipping container.
