Safety meets sustainability: the science behind non-toxic ice packs
Non-toxic ice packs are developed with product safety and environmental care in mind. At Hydropac, our gel formulations are manufactured without substances commonly found in industrial packs, such as ammonium nitrate or ethylene glycol—chemicals known to pose safety risks in certain scenarios.
Our packs are sealed in robust outer films—typically polyethylene or other recyclable materials—that help prevent leaks and offer added protection. While specific product certifications may vary, many of our solutions are designed to be used alongside food or medical items, and are produced in facilities operating under ISO-compliant quality control.
Key product features include:
- Reusable and leak-resistant construction with heat-sealed seams
- Effective cooling performance for a range of chilled and ambient conditions
- Eco-conscious material options, including recyclable films and optional biodegradable stickers
Hydropac supports customers with product specifications on request, helping them make informed decisions that align with their safety and sustainability goals.
Where non-toxic ice packs make a difference
Thanks to their versatile design, non-toxic ice packs are suitable for a broad spectrum of uses—balancing thermal reliability with user-focused design.
Food transport and last-mile delivery
Whether you’re delivering fresh produce, baked goods, or chilled ready meals, Hydropac’s gel packs support consistent temperature control without introducing unnecessary chemical risks. They’re suited for short-to-medium duration deliveries and work effectively with insulated packaging.
Pharmaceutical and healthcare logistics
Temperature-sensitive medicines such as vaccines, insulin, and biologics require stable conditions. Our ice packs can be used within insulated systems for these applications. While they are not medically certified on their own, their materials and construction are designed to complement the requirements of sensitive goods.
Everyday and consumer applications
From picnic coolers to packed school lunches, users increasingly expect cooling solutions that are practical and safe for regular handling. Our packs are designed with durability and usability in mind—supporting household, retail, or recreational use with minimal environmental impact.
