THE ICE
REPLACEMENT SYSTEM
Overview
 | Poly Ice is the solution to the "Wet
Ice" problem. Poly Ice is a totally new concept in refrigerant technology designed
specifically to assist the maintenance of temperature-sensitive and perishable products
during transportation and storage. In many situations it will outperform wet ice, dry ice,
crushed ice and block ice. The success of "gel pads" has already been
extensively proven overseas in all aspects of transportation and in a huge variety of
applications including the packaging of, seafood, flowers, vegetables, meat, poultry,
blood and bio-fluids and as a chilling medium for medical applications e.g. bruising. |
| Poly Ice is supplied in one size, 385 x 295,
24 cells per sheet and 428 sheets per carton. Poly Ice are supplied in segmented sheets
which may be cut to size to form the pad required for your application. In general terms,
the pad size should be equal to the size and shape the internal base of the box or
container used in transportation to give complete coverag |
Features & Benefits
| Keeps products fresher longer |
| Longer lasting frozen coolants properties |
| Flexible when frozen |
| Won’t leak or spill |
| Serves as a packing pad in shipping |
| Weighs less than other comparable coolants |
| Easy to use, handle and prepare |
| Provides uniform cooling to your products
eliminating hot spots |
| Reduce spoilage during extended shipping |
| Eliminates after-thaw absorption problems |
| Temperature rise in Poly Ice is more constant
than in ice. Above 0 C the rise is gradual as below. It does not melt. |
| Ice needs to be contained. Poly Ice maintains
it’s state and does not gravitate down. |
 
Directions for Use
| Poly Ice sheets are far more efficient to store than
wet ice or dry ice, it requires no refrigeration in storage, and it takes up only a
faction of the space you’d need for other products. Plus it is completely safe to
handle dry, wet or frozen.
|
| Poly Ice should be stored in
a dry atmosphere and out of direct sunlight with the cartons sealed until they are used.
|
| Simply cut the sheet to the
desired size, or use as is.
|
| Submerge the Poly Ice sheet
completely in fresh water for 10 - 15 minutes or so depending on water hardness and
temperature. Using warm water shortens the hydration time.
|
| Remove the hydrated sheets
from the water and allow any surface water to drain away. This help prevent the sheets
sticking together. Once hydrated, water will not be released from the cells but the
material will have small amounts of moisture on its surface. If you wish to stack the
sheets during freezing, don’t stack them more than 5 high.
|
| Store the Poly Ice sheets in
the freezer until required for use. Once frozen the sheets may be stacked flat, or rolled
for storage.
|
| Ideally Poly Ice should be
placed flat across the upper surface of your product to provide even cooling. It may also
be shaped to conform the irregular shape of items or rolled into cylindrical form.
|
| To absorb the maximum amount
of heat conducted through your packaging Poly Ice should be placed between your product
and the package surface.

| Make life easy in your
packing operation by using Poly Ice

Specifications
| The Poly Ice sheets are formed from various
heat bonded materials. No adhesives are used in the manufacturing process. The smooth
shiny side of the sheet does not allow the passage of moisture. The other side is a
non-woven fabric that attracts fluid. Inside the cell is an inert super absorbent powder,
which forms a non-toxic gel as it absorbs and retains fluids. |
| Poly Ice was developed environmental
friendly. The super absorbent gel breaks down to water, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide after
six weeks exposure to normal ultra-violet sunlight. The rest of the Poly Ice sheet is
manufactured from environmental friendly plastics. |
