Frequently Asked Question
What is IP13 and what temperature range does it support?
IP13 is a PCM designed for cold storage and cold chain transport. Its primary role is to maintain required low temperatures for sensitive goods such as vaccines, medicines, fresh/frozen food, and biomedical samples during transit.
How long can IP13 maintain the required cold temperature during transit?
The “holdover time” or temperature maintenance duration depends on ambient conditions, insulation quality, heat load inside the shipment, and how well the PCM is preconditioned. You should validate this under your specific use conditions.
Is IP13 reusable / rechargeable?
Yes — IP13 is designed to endure repetitive thermal cycling while retaining performance. The actual cycle life depends on conditions and handling.
How do I “charge” or precondition IP13 before packing?
Before shipment, IP13 must be brought to its starting stable temperature (i.e. cooled to its phase change state) under controlled conditions (e.g., cold room, refrigerated chamber). This ensures it can absorb or release heat properly during transit.
Can IP13 be integrated into my existing cold chain or shipping system?
Yes — IP13 can be incorporated into existing containers, shipper boxes, refrigeration systems, or cold chain designs. Your support team can assist in integration and optimization.
