How do phase change material technology Cool Packs compare with evaporative-type products?
A. Phase change material technology Cool Packs provide much greater efficiency and better performance. Evaporative-type products, by their nature, retain water, so are always wet and can absorb bacteria. This makes them uncomfortable against your skin. And it means they’ll mildew quickly over time, since they never dry out. Further, evaporative-type products can’t operate in high humidity, because the atmosphere is already saturated with water, so there is no place for the evaporation to go. Phase change material products, on the other hand, are unaffected by humidity.
