Instructions for use
Before and after immersion in water
If using for commercial transport/shipping of food or medical products it is critical to place frozen ice blankets above food or medical products as cold air falls. For optimum cooling avoid dead spaces and place additional ice blankets at the bottom and along the sides of the shipping container.
Gel Ice Blankets have the ability to maintain temperatures of perishables between 2°C to 16°C. To determine the amount of frozen blankets required to achieve this, we recommend that shipping and storage test be conducted.
