❄️ What is Phase Change Material (PCM) — and Why Does It Matter for Temperature-Sensitive Shipments?

Phase Change Material (PCM) is a game-changer for keeping products at the right temperature during transit. But what exactly is it?

🔹 How It Works: PCM absorbs or releases large amounts of energy when it changes between solid and liquid states — all while maintaining a specific, stable temperature. When frozen, it stays cold longer, keeping your shipments perfectly chilled.

🔹 Why It’s Essential: Whether you’re shipping frozen food, chemicals, vaccines, or medical supplies, temperature control is non-negotiable. PCM gel packs:
✅ Hold temperatures longer than traditional ice packs.
✅ Prevent temperature spikes that could ruin sensitive products.
✅ Keep products at specific temperatures — frozen, chilled, or ambient — depending on the PCM formulation.

🚚 Longer-lasting protection. Safer deliveries. Less waste.
