Chillwrap

The key ingredient of Chillwrap is Sodium Polyacrylate, an amazing water absorber -- it can absorb 200 to 300 times its weight in tap water (even more if the water is distilled) and hold it in a gel.

There are two forms of Chillwrap Ice Replacement. Ordinary Chillwrap with fabric on one side and Super Chillwrap with plastic film on both sides.

The benefit is that the gel does not release water so you can create an ice replacement which doesn't leak the way normal wet ice can. The gel also absorbs more heat than normal ice. Chillwrap is a combination of plastic and fabric which holds the Sodium Polyacrylate powder in cells. When it is soaked in water it absorbs measured quantities of water which can be frozen and used to replace ice.

Anyone who needs to maintain a product at a temperature between 0°C and 9°C for periods up to 48 hours. Typical industry users are those packing and transporting live seafood, fresh seafood, fresh flowers, fresh meat, medical or veterinary samples, serum, vaccines and, believe it or not, bee and wasp larvae.

The extra cooling ability of Chill Wrap makes it a favourite for transport by air. You get more cooling for every gram of coolant, reducing air freight costs

Chillwrap can be reused many times if it is kept clean and undamaged.

Super Chillwrap ice replacement is a variation of Chillwrap with a perforated plastic film on one side to let water in and the usual unperforated sheet on the other. This gives us an ice replacement with less sticking during freezing and a cleaner appearance. It is a big favourite of laboratories and very high value exporters. Because the plastic doesn't have the stretch of the fabric, each Super Chillwrap cell weighs a little less than the equivalent Chillwrap cell.
