PCM IP25 | Inorganic Phase Change Material for Vaccines and Cold Chain Solutions
IP25 is a low-temperature, positive inorganic Phase Change Material designed for precise thermal energy storage. It is specifically engineered to maintain temperatures around 25°C, making it highly effective in preserving temperature-sensitive products during transport and storage. This PCM is especially beneficial for the cold chain industry, where the reliable transport of vaccines, medicines, and biological samples is critical.
Thanks to its high latent heat capacity, PCM IP25 absorbs and releases thermal energy during its phase transition without temperature fluctuations. It is widely used in insulated shipping containers and shipper boxes, ensuring stable internal temperatures even in extreme ambient conditions.

Freqently Asked Question
What is IP25 and what temperature does it maintain?
IP25 is an inorganic phase change material designed for “positive low-temperature” storage. It’s engineered to maintain ~25 °C and buffer against fluctuations, making it useful for vaccines, medicines, biological samples etc.
How long can IP25 maintain the set temperature during transit or storage?
The duration depends on factors like external ambient temperature, insulation quality of the container, internal heat loads, and how well the PCM is preconditioned. Real-world tests are needed to estimate hold-over time for your specific setup.
Is IP25 reusable / rechargeable?
Yes — it’s built to handle repeated phase change cycles while keeping performance consistent.
How do I precondition (“charge”) IP25 before use?
Before use, bring IP25 to its correct starting phase (i.e. the right temperature) under controlled conditions so it’s ready to act as a thermal buffer. (E.g., ensure it’s well conditioned in a stable environment before packaging.)
What about bulk or custom orders / sizing?
Bulk orders and custom packaging / quantities are likely supported. For specific designs or quantities, please contact sales/technical support to discuss what you need (volume, packaging shape, insulation etc.).
