FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 What is a eutectic plate?

It is very similar to an ice pack! The main difference concerns the liquid inside the pack – eutectic liquid. Here at COOL, we specialize in eutectic liquids.

Once frozen solid, these liquids generate a constant temperature of cold or hot air by slowly releasing its latent heat. This temperature is called eutexia temperature. Unlike frozen water, the eutectic liquid enables you to conserve your temperature for a longer and more effective result.

After 30 years of hard work and dedication, we have become one of the leading manufacturers of innovative eutectic liquids for the cold and hot supply chain.

Is the eutectic plate ready for use? Is there an instruction guide?

Before each use, it is necessary to freeze the eutectic plate by laying it flat in your freezer during at least 24h at a temperature that is at least 6°C below the temperature of the eutectic liquid inside the plate. This will solidify the liquid

Once the plate is frozen, remove it from the freezer and place the eutectic plate in your insulated container. It is important to handle your eutectic plate very carefully once frozen, as it becomes very sensitive to shock.

IMPORTANT: Do not wash the eutectic plate in the dishwasher; clean it with soapy water

(washing-up liquid)

Is the eutectic liquid dangerous?

The main composition of COOL eutectic liquids is made with aqueous solution (clean water) and a mix of different chlorides. We do not use any glycol or heavy alcohol in our formulation.
