Techi-Ice is a four layer/ply product,
which has fully washable heavy duty plastic surfaces on both sides,
and the two internal fabric/textile layers which contain larger refrigerant polymer levels and resist punctures etc.
This product is designed to be re-used over and over, and has been made possible due to a new performation technology, which allows water to enter through the plastic surfaces to activate the polymer, but still enable the sheet to remain fully washable.
This new technology sheet has patents pending around the world and is a major development in dehydrated refrigerant sheet technology.
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.
How Many Sheets Do I Need?
Recommended:
1-2 Sheets for a personal or 6-pack cooler
3-4 Sheets for a 16 Quart Picnic cooler
6-8 Sheets for a 48 Quart Chest cooler
(1 Sheet for each 5 to 7 Quarts)
"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 applicationsDomestic 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.
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.
Techni Ice Reusable Dry Ice Packs Hydration Tips-HDR Model
1.To hydrate your techni ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs faster use warm water.
2.Keep techni ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs fully immersed whilst hydrating the cells as water enters from both sides to activate polymer.
3.scrunch sheets between hands whilst fully immersed in warm water until the air bubbles have escaped and cells have commenced hydration. Your techni icereusable dry ice packs / gel packs are ready to use.
Techni Ice Reusable Dry Ice Packs Usage Tips-HDR Model
Your techni ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs should start frozen. A gradual cold transfer will take place which slowly transfers the cold energy from techni ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs into the perishables and drinks, etc. This will eventually leave the Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs cells in the softer state and the perishables and drinks icy cold for a long period. You will note that the Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs cells still retain significant chill factor even in the eventual softer state.
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. Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs 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.
8. Do not mix Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs with regular ice as regular ice melts much faster and will absorb the energy from Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs to try and stay frozen, resulting in Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs losing its chill much quicker than if used by itself.
9. Hot Body. To use Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs hot, place in microwave in increments of 1 minute making sure after each minute that Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs are not too hot to place on your body or use. Always use a towel between your body and the product and remove immediately if it feels too hot.
10. Hot Food. Techni Ice reusable dry ice packs / gel packs can be used inside ice boxes or cooler bags for keeping food hot.
