Temperature-controlled packaging supplier Icertech has added a water-based product to its range of coolants.
Available from April 2022, Aqua-Chill coolant is designed to meet the growing demand for water-based products as an alternative to traditional gel lines. While gel packs have proven to be safe and simple to manufacture, there is a growing concern among end users regarding sustainable disposal.
Aqua-Chill pouches are made on a bespoke machine using a laminate film that provides a high level of puncture and leak resistance, whilst still being 100% recyclable. The tap water filler is taken through a triple filtration process – micron, carbon & UV – before being purified through chlorination, ensuring the coolant is 100% food safe, and also safe should an end user accidentally consume the contents, the company maintains.
The new coolants will be available at pallet prices for 500g and 1kg coolants of 18p and 28p each respectively (Excluding VAT, Ex Works).
