Frozen elements instead of dry ice

Dangerours Goods

Dry ice has a temperature of about -78,5°C. Careless handling can cause cold burns. Sublimation produces large quantities of CO₂ gases, which can lead to suffocation and dangerous overpressure in closed containers. Dry ice is therefore subject to the regulations for dangerous goods in road and air transport.

More flexibility

In these cases, frozen elements are a flexible alternative to dry ice. The gel packs, foam bricks and hard-shell cooling packs are frozen in customary freezers at min. -30°C. There is no need for just-in-time deliveries of dry ice. Especially when frozen elements are used several times, they are also a considerable economic alternative.

PCM for frozen shipments

Although dry ice is unbeatable in its energy density, it is simply too cold in some applications. Many foodstuffs or pharmaceutical products must not fall below a temperature of -25°C. The PCM ingredients are not toxic. The elements can be reused or disposed of with normal household waste.

THERMOCON Frozen Elements

An alternative to dry ice

All THERMOCON frozen elements are not classified as dangerous goods. This means less effort for you, as the strict regulations of the dangerous goods classification do not apply: no complex documentation, no additional safety measures and no strict regulations for the transport of dangerous goods.

Gel Pack Pro -21

The Gel Pack Pro -21 was developed especially for the frozen sector. This cooling element is used for maintaining temperature ranges of -15° to -25°C. Unlike dry ice, it does not get too cold. You do not need any dangerous goods labelling for this frozen element. Due to the robust PA/PE composite foil, the Gel Pack Pro -21 is ideally suited for multiple applications.

Foam Brick -21

The Foam Brick -21 has its melting range at about -21°C. It is therefore a cooling element that can keep your temperature-sensitive products within a constant range of -15° to -25°C. In addition, this frozen element is not subject to dangerous goods regulations. The Foam Brick -21 absorbs heat evenly and is leak-proof due to its dimensionally stable foam core. This element can be used several times thanks to its robust composite foil.

PCM -21

The HDPE PCM -21 is a frozen element with a special filling of phase change material. Like all THERMOCON frozen elements, the HDPE PCM -21 is used for frozen shipments. It maintains the desired product temperature in the range of -15° to -25°C over a longer period of time. However, the HDPE PCM -21 is not classified as a hazardous material, so the strict requirements for the transport of hazardous goods are not applicable. This element is one of our standard cooling packs. It can be used in various THERMOCON systems. This saves storage and acquisition costs.
