Dry Ice Alternative Introduced

MINNEAPOLIS — Entropy Solutions, a Minneapolis-based thermal technology development company, recently introduced a new variation of its patented PureTemp renewable phase change material (PCM) that replaces dry ice and maintains a consistent payload temperature of -40°F.
 
According to the company, the PureTemp -40 solution is the world’s first true dry ice alternative, and the answer to age-old issues that surround shipping with dry ice. For example:

• PureTemp can be used more than 20,000 times with no thermal degradation
• PureTemp produces zero emissions and is a 100 percent renewable and biodegradable
• PureTemp is not restricted in any mode of transportation as part of the Greenbox Thermal Management System
• PureTemp requires no special handling
• According to Entropy Solutions, PureTemp is safe for use with any product – for example, pharmaceuticals, plasma, clinical devices or even food items – that needs to be kept at deep-frozen temperatures throughout the duration of a shipment
 
“We are extremely encouraged about the prospects for PureTemp -40 and believe it could do for temperature-sensitive shipping what hybrid cars can do for the automotive industry,” said Eric Lindquist, president of Entropy Solutions. “Being able to provide customers a safer, more cost-effective and more eco-friendly option for frozen shipments is very rewarding.”
