Frozen elements instead of dry ice
THERMOCON, as a brand and division of the Schaumaplast Group, is developing and producing reliable passive thermal packaging. Due to a lack of alternatives, dry ice is often used as a coolant for frozen transport. This is associated with high costs for companies due to increasingly strict regulations.
THERMOCON offers frozen elements & complete systems as a reliable and safe alternative to dry ice, which allows you to dispense with hazardous goods labelling.
Dry ice has a temperature of about -78°C. Careless handling can cause cold burns. Sublimation produces large quantities of CO₂ gases, which can lead to suffocation and dangerous overpressure in closed containers. Dry ice is therefore subject to the regulations for hazardous goods. Logistics companies, airlines and even one of the largest shipping service providers are increasingly rejecting the transport of dry ice in thermal packaging.
In these cases, frozen elements are a flexible alternative to dry ice. The gel packs, foam bricks and hard-shell packs are frozen in commercial freezers at min. -30°C. There is no need for time-consuming just-in-time deliveries of dry ice. Especially when the elements are used several times, they are also a real economic alternative.
Although dry ice is unbeatable in its energy density, it is simply too cold in some applications. Many foodstuffs or pharmaceutical products must not fall below a temperature of -25°C. Our frozen elements can even ensure this in direct product contact. The ingredients are non toxic. The frozen elements can be reused or disposed of with normal household waste.
FROZEN ELEMENTS
A safe alternative to dry ice
The largest shipping service provider in Germany has banned the sending of dangerous goods as standard parcels in November 2019. All THERMOCON frozen elements are not classified as dangerous goods. This means less effort for you, as the strict regulations of the dangerous goods classification do not apply: no complex documentation, furthermore, safety measures and strict regulations for the transport of dangerous goods are not applicable.

The Gel Pack Pro -21 was developed especially for the frozen sector. This cooling element reliably maintains the temperature range of -15° to -25°C. Unlike dry ice, it does not get too cold. Even direct contact with the product is possible. You do not need any hazardous goods labelling for this frozen element. Due to the robust PA/PE composite foil, the Gel Pack Pro -21 is ideally suited for multiple applications.

The Foam Brick -21 has its melting range at about -21°C. It is therefore a reliable cooling element that can keep your temperature-sensitive products within a constant range of -15° to -25°C. In addition, this frozen element is not subject to dangerous goods regulations. The Foam Brick -21 absorbs heat evenly and is leak-proof due to its dimensionally stable foam core. This element can be used several times thanks to its robust composite foil.

The HDPE PCM -21 is a frozen element with a special filling of phase change material. Like all THERMOCON frozen elements, the HDPE PCM -21 is a safe and reliable alternative to dry ice. It maintains the desired product temperature in the range of -15° to -25°C over a longer period of time. However, the HDPE PCM -21 is not classified as a hazardous material, so the strict requirements for the transport of hazardous goods are not applicable. This element is one of our standard cooling packs. It can be used in various THERMOCON systems. This saves storage and acquisition costs.
