Frequently Asked Questions
How long can IP01 maintain the +2 °C to +8 °C range?
The duration depends on external ambient conditions (temperature, insulation of packaging, heat load). Under typical conditions and good insulation, it can maintain target temperature for “long hours,” but always validate in your specific use case and packaging design.
Can I reuse/recharge IP01 packs?
Yes — one of the strengths of PCM IP01 is that it is designed to cycle many times while maintaining performance. Just follow the recommended recharge (freeze or chill) procedure.
Is IP01 a better alternative to dry ice?
In many chilled / +2 °C to +8 °C applications, IP01 offers a more stable and safer alternative to dry ice (which is much colder). Dry ice might overshoot or freeze sensitive cargo, whereas IP01 is designed to maintain a moderate chilled range.
Is it safe / non-toxic?
Yes. IP01 is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it safer for sensitive goods, personnel, and the environment.
Why is IP01 suitable for vaccine and biomedical transport?
- It maintains a stable, narrow temperature range compatible with many vaccine storage requirements.
- It offers high heat storage capacity and consistent performance over repeated thermal cycles.
- It is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it safer for sensitive cargo.
