Compressive Strength
The compressive strength exceeds 35kg per cell.

Packaging
A cardboard outer carton with a polythene liner bag contains the Chill-Wrap sheets. There are no perforations in the sheets.

Materials
The outer casing is formed from laminated polyethylene thermo-bonded to a sheet of self-sealing, non-woven polyester fabric. No adhesives are used during its construction and the plastic backing prevents adjacent sheets from sticking when freezing.

The absorbent powder is a unique formula of Sodium Polyacrylate with a free monomer level of less than 1g/kg.

The fabrics from which Chill-Wrap is made comply with USFDA Title 21 requirements for products in contact with food.
