PhaseCore 48 Element
The Solution to Personal Cooling

PhaseCore 48 is a non-toxic, non-flammable phase change material made of a salt mixture that is a sealed inside of a special wrapper. It changes from solid to liquid and back again depending on the surrounding temperature. PhaseCore 48 Elements are not effected by humidity and react to direct heat above its activation point.

Uses: Solar Storage, Electronic Equipment Cooling

Includes: PhaseCore Material (Salt Blend), Aluminum Wrapper, Label

FAQs

How does it work?
PhaseCore 48 elements have an activation point of 118.4°F (48°C). When the ambient temperature rises above this point, the element begins to absorb heat energy and transforms from a solid to a liquid. PhaseCore 48 elements will remain at its activation point as the heat energy is absorbed and stored. When heat is absorbed, the PhaseCore elements provide a cooling effect. PhaseCore elements recharge and return to their solid state when the ambient temperature drops below the activation point. PhaseCore 48 elements have a 10 year or 7,000 cycle life.

Is it Effective?
In extreme heat environments we recommend the use of PhaseCore 32 to  cool the body. PhaseCore 32 will produce a cooling effect for a longer  duration than PhaseCore 28 in extremely hot environments due to the  higher activation point and high heat absorption capacity. PhaseCore 32  is recommended for users in environments greater than 110°F (43°C) for a  prolonged period of time. In most of the products you can switch  between PhaseCore 28 and 32 easily. Please refer to the individual  product specifications for details.

How does it recharge?
PhaseCore 48 elements can be recharged by storing them in an environment less than the activation point of 118.4°F (48°C). PhaseCore elements can be recharged more quickly in colder environments. Refrigeration is not required, but will make the recharge period shorter. Use of PhaseCore elements after refrigeration or freezing can prolong and enhance the cooling effect. PhaseCore elements are completely recharged when they return to a solid state. PhaseCore is simple, safe, and reusable.
