PCM IP23 | Cold Chain Temperature Control for Pharmaceuticals
IP23 is a specialized inorganic pcm designed for low-temperature applications. Thanks to its stable and consistent cooling performance, it’s a smart choice for sectors that require precise temperature control, such as medical, vaccine, and biomedical transport.
Whether you’re shipping temperature-sensitive medicines or maintaining the freshness of food during transit, PCM IP23 helps ensure your products stay within the right temperature range—even in challenging outdoor conditions. It is widely used in shipper boxes for cold chain logistics and also plays a role in building thermal comfort systems, where steady cooling is essential.

Freqently Asked Question
What is PCM IP23 and what is it used for?
PCM IP23 is an inorganic phase change material designed for low-temperature applications. It helps in shipping temperature-sensitive medicines, vaccines, and biomedical products, and is also used in building systems requiring steady cooling.
How long can IP23 maintain the required temperature during transit?
This depends heavily on several factors: external (ambience) temperature, insulation quality of the shipping container, internal heat load (what’s inside), and how well the PCM is preconditioned before use. Field-testing in your actual shipping configuration is advised.
How do I precondition (“charge”) IP23 before shipping?
You need to bring the PCM to its correct starting temperature (i.e. cool it to within or below its operational range) under controlled conditions (e.g. cold room, refrigerated chamber) so that it can perform optimally during transit.
Do you offer sample units or trial quantities?
Yes — there is a “Request Sample” option on the product page, so customers can test IP23 in their own systems before placing larger orders.
What insulation is recommended when using IP23?
Good insulation (e.g. foam panels, insulated boxes, suitable thickness of insulation) is necessary to reduce heat ingress. The insulation type and thickness should be chosen based on ambient conditions, distance/time of transport, and internal load.
