>>About Techni Ice Reusable Dry Ice Packs / Gel Packs

At last, a new technology that is a vast improvement on traditional ice packs / gel packs and ice.

The new release of 4 ply Techni-Ice stays frozen longer than ever before!

Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs 4ply comprises of 2 non-woven textile layers, which encapsulate a specially formulated cross-linked polyacrylate polyalcohol co-polymer refrigerant combined with a post treated trade secret formula.

An additional 2 heavy duty plastic layers, containing a one-way microperforation technology are bonded to the textile layers. This ensures that this new model can withstand the harshest of operational climates with performance that can only be described as revolutionary.

* "Re-usable dry ice?"

A remarkable leap forward in ice pack technology utilising a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer that can be frozen right down to minus 190C (that's more than twice as cold as dry ice!).Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs is often frozen in blast freezers to minus 80C when used in dry ice applications.

* Domestic freezers

New Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs HDR model can be used very successfully even when frozen in domestic household freezers. Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs will freeze between minus 18C and minus 21C when the freezer is adjusted to the maximum setting.

* Double your freezer temperature?

If you have a vertical domestic freezer with at least 2 or 3 refrigerated shelves and you fill the freezer completely with Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs, then Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs will often double the freezer temperature within 1 week to up to minus 35C. Many customers are now using cheaper domestic freezers with Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs to obtain commercial freezer results.

* How do I activate my new Techni Ice reusable dry ice pack / gel pack sheets?

Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs start as a flat sheet and absorbs water through a special perforation technology in the surface of the product.This is achieved by scrunching 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.

Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs can be used hot, cold or frozen can not only keep your food and drinks icy cold for days on end in the cooler but is also very effective at reducing battery consumption when placed in 12 volt fridge/freezers due to its eutectic qualities, which minimise thermostat activity.

Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs retail packaging come in packs of one, three or six sheets ready to hydrate and use in outlets Australia wide

* Quality

Factory certification of ISO-9002 ensures that our Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs product is manufactured to the highest international standards.Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs are a certified food safe product manufactured in Australia, using cutting edge technology machinery and processes that are currently the most advanced in the world.

Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs comprise two outer layers of sandwich printed PET/LDPE blended laminate, which gives the product its printability and heat sealability.

There are another two inner layers which comprise a high strength spun bonded synthetic fibre non-woven fabric which incorporates a high degree of strength and abuse resistance.

The super-absorbent polymer is a cross-linked polyacrylate copolymer, these types of polymers absorb many, many times their own weight in water in addition to their contribution as an innovative technology refrigerant.

* Commercial and domestic markets

The Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs HDR model is available in bulk pallets of up to 9,000 sheets per pallet or in the consumer market in retail packs of one, three and six sheets for use in domestic ice boxes by customers upgrading from conventional gel packs or ice.

New Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs HDR ice packs are the next technological step in ice replacement. Water is hydrated into a polymeric construction. This allows the water to attain a coherent structure giving it a smaller surface area, which it is able to maintain throughout its energy transfer time frames. Wet ice however increases its surface area/unit mass ratio with time, which in turn dramatically increases its rate of energy release.

Another area that aids the coolant properties of Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs HDR model is the substrates that encompass the hydrated and frozen polymer. These combined technologies add to the controlled release of the coolant over a period.

The cellular configuration of Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs HDR model gives a regulated liberation of cooling capacity over a large surface area, which creates the ideal ice replacement.

* 12 Volt Fridge/Freezers

Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs can be used by placing one or two sheets in a 12V fridge/freezer to effectively reduce battery consumption and increase general efficiency due to the eutectic quality of Techni Ice compounds.

When Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs are used in this manner it can also be left in the fridge/freezer whilst the power is turned off overnight to further reduce battery consumption whilst still maintaining basic refrigeration.

This also enables the Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs to be placed in a separate ice box for use when away from the vehicle or boat, etc.
