PCM IP53 | Reliable Inorganic PCM for Vaccine and Pharma Cold Storage
IP53 is a specially developed phase change material designed for keeping things cool at low temperatures. It’s commonly used in the medical and pharmaceutical world to safely transport temperature-sensitive items like vaccines and medicines. You’ll also find it used in buildings to help balance indoor temperatures and save energy.
One of the main uses of PCM IP53 is in shipper boxes that need to hold a steady temperature for long hours. Even in harsh outdoor conditions, it helps protect what’s inside by absorbing and releasing heat as needed.

Frequently Asked Question
What is PCM IP53 and where is it used?
PCM IP53 is an inorganic phase change material designed for low-temperature / cold-chain applications. It is commonly used in vaccine and pharmaceutical transport, cold storage, and inside shipper boxes to maintain stable temperatures for sensitive biological or medical cargo.
How long can IP53 maintain the required temperature inside a shipper box or storage?
The “holdover time” depends on ambient conditions (temperature), insulation quality, internal heat loads (what you’re shipping), and how well the PCM is preconditioned. You should perform tests under your actual use conditions to determine real performance.
Is IP53 reusable or rechargeable?
Yes — IP53 is designed to support repeated phase change cycles while retaining performance. The number of cycles it can sustain depends on handling, temperature stress, and operating conditions.
Do you provide sample units for testing?
Yes — the page includes a “Request Sample” option so users can test IP53 in their actual shipment or storage systems before placing larger orders.
How should IP53 be preconditioned or “charged” before use?
Prior to deployment, you should bring the PCM into its correct starting phase (i.e. cool it sufficiently) under controlled conditions (e.g. cold room or low-temperature chamber). This ensures that it can absorb or release heat correctly during transit or storage.
