This instant cold pack is a single-use cold compress that works without a freezer. Squeezing the pack bursts an inner water pouch; the water dissolves a dry salt inside and the endothermic reaction turns the pack cold. It suits first-aid kit assemblers, sports teams, schools and ambulance services that need cold therapy where no ice is on hand.

Buyer questions, answered
Clear answers for preparing a comparable sourcing request for Instant Cold Pack (Single-Use Cold Compress).
How does an instant cold pack work?
The pack holds a dry salt and a separate inner pouch of water. Squeezing bursts the inner pouch; as the salt dissolves it absorbs heat, so the pack turns cold. This is an endothermic reaction, which is why no freezer is needed. The formula of the supplied pack is stated on its safety data sheet.
How do you activate an instant cold pack?
Squeeze the middle of the pack firmly until the inner pouch bursts, then shake it to mix the contents. Wrap the pack in a thin cloth before placing it on the skin and follow the timing given in the instructions for use.
How long does an instant cold pack last?
Cold duration depends on pack size, fill weight and room temperature, so it is stated on the specification sheet rather than assumed. Unopened shelf life is shown by the expiry date printed on each pack with the lot number.
Is an instant cold pack reusable?
No. Once the inner pouch has burst and the salt has dissolved, the reaction cannot be restarted, so the pack is discarded after use. For a reusable option, see the reusable gel ice pack or the refillable ice bag.
Do you provide an SDS for instant cold packs?
Ask for it with your quotation request. The safety data sheet for the fill formula, the lot inspection record and transport documents are matched to the item supplied for your order.
