Phase Change Material IP32 | Inorganic PCM for Cold Storage & Pharma Logistics
IP32 is a specialized positive inorganic phase change material engineered for low-temperature applications. It is highly effective in preserving the required temperature range for critical medical items such as vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and biomedical supplies during transportation. PCM IP32 is also used to enhance thermal comfort in buildings, supporting consistent indoor climate control while improving energy efficiency.
This phase change material is commonly integrated into temperature-controlled shipper boxes, offering extended thermal protection even in extreme ambient environments. Its unique capacity to absorb and release thermal energy helps maintain ideal conditions for long periods, making it essential in cold chain logistics.

Frequently Asked Question
What is PCM IP32 and what applications is it designed for?
IP32 is an inorganic phase-change material engineered for low-temperature applications. It’s ideal for vaccine and pharmaceutical transport, biomedical supplies, and cold-chain logistics. It also finds use in buildings for thermal comfort through indoor climate regulation.
How long can IP32 maintain its temperature under transit / cold storage conditions?
The holdover time depends on several factors: ambient temperature extremes, quality and thickness of insulation, internal heat load (how much warm mass or product you have inside), and how well IP32 is preconditioned (i.e., cooled to its starting phase). For precise duration, testing under actual use conditions is recommended.
Is IP32 reusable or rechargeable?
Yes — IP32 is designed to withstand multiple thermal cycles while retaining its properties. Proper handling, avoiding over-stress, and correct preconditioning will help ensure long life.
Do you provide sample units of IP32 for testing?
Yes — there is a “Request Sample” option on the IP32 page so customers can test IP32 in their own shipping or cold-storage setup before ordering at scale.
Does IP32 support bulk / custom orders?
Yes — for large scale shipments, customized packaging (shape, quantity, configuration), or integration into specific container designs, customers can contact sales or technical support.
