Australian Made Techni IceTM Reusable 4 PLY HDR
Activate Sheets
(This only needs to be done once to activate new sheet)
- To activate Techni Ice sheets, immerse them in warm water whilst scrunching the sheet. The scrunching action whilst immersed, allows the air bubbles to escape and the water to enter sheet. This action activates the polyacrylate cross linked polymer contained in each cell of the Techniice sheet. For the best results weigh the sheets down with a heavy object so they stay immersed during the hydration process.
- If you find that some cells which have not expanded, gently massage the cells and if required increase the temperature of water by adding more warm water.
- Hydrate for 20 or so minutes (this new model requires less hydration than previous Please do not leave underwater for extended periods) Once all the cells are well Hydrated, remove them from the water and pat dry them thoroughly. This ensures that any excess water does not become ice on the outside of sheet during the freezing process.
- Your Techni Ice is now ready to freeze or heat.
TO FREEZE - For best results place the Techniice dry ice sheets in a freezer for as long as you can before putting them in your cooler (minimum 24 hours). Unlike regular gel packs that generally only reach -IOC, Techni Ice will actually drop to any temperature it is exposed to. A domestic freezer lowest setting is --180C. Techni Ice drops 4.50C a day until it reaches freezer temperature and needs to stay 34 days frozen in domestic freezer to reach -180C.
TO HEAT (4 Ply HDR only) - Place hydrated sheet in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or wrapped in a towel in hot water.
CAUTION: Check to make sure sheet is not too hot before placing on body. We recommend that you use a towel between your body and Techniice if you find Techniice too hot.
COMMERCIAL HYDRATION — Techni Ice can be placed in an agitator type washing machine with some clean towels on a regular wash cycle without the spin cycle. Please ensure washing machine is clean and free from soap residue and please ensure the temperature of the water is warm.

TECHNIICE SPECIFICATIONS
SIZE
Both the standard and the HDR model consist of 24 cells per sheet and each sheet measures 25cm x 39cm (Approx. 20" x I '3 1/2")
Both the standard and HDR model's can be cut to size between the cells to fit any size ice box or purpose. NOTE: The HDR model remains frozen for marginally longer periods due to the higher polymer levels and insulation effect of the four-layer/ply construction.
TECHNI ICETM- FROZEN STATE
Approximately 4-7 times longer than wet ice (Depending on volume, ambient temperature and insulation) Based on freezing temperature of-180 Celsius (-40 F)
MAXIMUM TEMPRATURE RECOMMENDATIONS
For Dry Ice temperatures, Freeze to -80 degrees Celsius. (-1120 F)
FOR REPLACE-MENT OF WET ICE: Freeze in commercial or domestic freezer with setting at -18 to -20 Celsius (-4 to —0.4 0 F) for maximum performance.
AS A HEAT PACK:
1- 2 minutes in 600-watt microwave oven or longer if higher temperatures are required.
Caution: test the product after taking out of the microwave to ensure that it is not too hot before placing on body.
