PhaseCore

The Solution to Personal Cooling

PhaseCore is a phase change material (PCM) that produces a cooling effect by transforming from a solid state to a liquid state when the temperature rises above a certain activation point. PhaseCore elements are available in a variety of activation points. PhaseCore 28 and PhaseCore 32 elements are used for personal cooling. PhaseCore elements are made of a nontoxic, non-flammable salt mixture sealed inside a thermal-aluminum wrapper. PhaseCore elements are not effected by humidity and react only to direct heat.

Users: Personal Cooling, Microclimate Cooling, Computer Cooling

Addtional Information  

Effects of Temperature on the Human Body

The normal human body skin temperature is approximately 91.4°F (33°C) and the comfort zone is between 82.4°F (28°C) and 100.4°F (37.8°C). When the human body skin temperature rises above 100.4°F (37.8°C), the start of the heat hazard zone, a person may experience heat stress. A person’s body temperate will rise when working in hot environments, during physical activity, and when wearing protective clothing. PhaseCore helps the body to cool and maintain its normal skin temperature in hot environments by absorbing body heat. When heat is absorbed, the PhaseCore element provides a comfortable and soothing cooling effect. Unlike ice, gel, and other frozen liquids, PhaseCore does not overcool or shock the body. Overcooling the body restricts a person’s blood flow, making the body uncomfortable, and movement more difficult.

PhaseCore 28 vs. PhaseCore 32

PhaseCore 28 and PhaseCore 32 both use the same PhaseCore technology to produce a cooling effect. PhaseCore 28 elements are activated at 82.4°F (28°C) and PhaseCore 32 elements are activated at 89.6°F (32°C). Because PhaseCore 28 elements have a lower activation point, the cooling effect is stronger but lsts for a shorter period of time. PhaseCore 32 elements have a higher activation point and the cooling effect is less noticeable, but lasts longer. Generally, we recommend that people use PhaseCore 28 elements in environments less than 110°F (43°C) and PhaseCore 32 elements in environments greater than 110°F (43°C).

Recharging PhaseCore

Once PhaseCore elements transform from a solid state to a liquid state, the elements must be recharged. PhaseCore elements can be recharged by storing the element in an environment less than the activation point. PhaseCore elements can be recharged more quickly in colder environments. Refrigeration is not required, but will make the recharge period shorter. PhaseCore elements are completely recharged when they return to a solid state. PhaseCore is simple, safe, and reusable.

Mesh Cooling Vests  

Heat Stress Protection with PhaseCore

Mesh Cooling Vests are a great solution to reduce and combat heat stress. Mesh Cooling Vests use PhaseCore, a phase change material (PCM), to provide a cooling effect to the body’s core by absorbing body heat. Mesh Cooling Vests are extremely lightweight and are comfortable for use under body armor and other form-fitting protective apparel.
