• 15°C / 59°F
• 21°C / 70°F
• 24°C / 75°F
• 29°C / 84°F
The time needed to fully activate the PCM depends on the INUTEQ-PAC® temperature and your cooling method:
*Ice water: approx. 20 minutes
*Freezer: approx. 40 minutes
*Refrigerator: approx. 60 minutes
You can also activate the PCM inserts by exposing them to any ambient temperature lower than;
1) 10°C / 50°F with the INUTEQ-PAC® 15°C / 59°F insert
2) 19°C / 66°F with the INUTEQ-PAC® 21°C / 70°F insert
3) 21°C / 70°F with the INUTEQ-PAC® 24°C / 75°F insert
4) 26°C / 79°F with the INUTEQ-PAC® 29°C / 84°F insert
You can keep the inserts in your freezer or refrigerator, so they are always ready to use. Lay the inserts flat in a single layer instead of stacking them.
Or, if you want to save space in your freezer for other things, they can be stored at room temperature. When placing inserts in a freezer, make sure they are dry, so they don't stick to the inside of your freezer.
