PCM IP08 | Reliable Cold Chain Solution for Pharma & Food Transport
IP08 is a positive inorganic phase change material specifically developed for applications that demand reliable low-temperature control. With its consistent thermal performance, it is particularly suited for the transportation of temperature-sensitive products such as medicines, vaccines, and other biomedical materials. It is also highly effective in the chilled food and perishable goods industry, where maintaining a precise temperature range is essential for product integrity.
PCM IP08 is widely used in shipper boxes designed for controlled temperature transport, offering dependable protection even under extreme ambient conditions. Its phase change properties allow it to absorb and release thermal energy efficiently, ensuring that contents remain within the required temperature range for extended periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is IP08 and what temperature range does it cover?
IP08 is a positive / chilled inorganic phase change material designed for cold chain applications. It’s used to maintain low-temperature control (above freezing) for sensitive products such as vaccines, biomedical goods, chilled foods, etc.
How long can IP08 maintain the desired temperature in transit?
The duration depends on factors like ambient temperature, insulation quality, internal heat load, and how well IP08 is preconditioned. You’ll need to validate holdover time in your actual shipment setup.
Can IP08 be reused or recharged?
Yes — IP08 is designed to endure multiple thermal cycles while retaining its performance. The actual number of cycles depends on usage, handling, and conditions.
How should I precondition or “charge” IP08 before use?
You must bring IP08 into the correct phase before packing (i.e. cool or chill it to the appropriate temperature) under controlled conditions so it’s ready to absorb or release heat appropriately during transit.
Can IP08 integrate into existing cold chain systems or containers?
Absolutely — IP08 can be incorporated into your existing cold chain design, shipper boxes, or thermal systems. The technical team can help with integration and optimization.
