Frequently Asked Questions
What is PCM IP20 and what temperature range does it support?
PCM IP20 is a positive (i.e. above-freezing) inorganic phase change material specifically designed for cold chain, vaccine, medicine, and biomedical transport. It helps maintain controlled temperatures even under challenging ambient conditions.
How long can IP20 maintain the required temperature during transport?
The actual “holdover time” depends heavily on external ambient conditions, the insulation quality of the container, internal heat loads, and how well the PCM is preconditioned before packing. Field testing in your exact shipment environment is always recommended.
Is IP20 reusable / rechargeable?
Yes — IP20 is designed to be used over multiple thermal cycles while retaining its performance characteristics. The actual number of cycles before noticeable degradation depends on handling, temperature stresses, and system design.
Do you offer sample units of IP20 for testing?
Yes — the product page offers a “Request Sample” option so prospective buyers can test IP20 in their own shipping or cold chain setup prior to placing full orders.
Can IP20 be integrated into existing cold chain or shipping systems?
Absolutely — IP20 modules or units can be incorporated into your current shipper boxes, insulation systems, or packaging designs to enhance temperature stability.
