Exactly Your Physics-Chemistry for Thermal Salts, Phase Change Material & Passive Cooling.

PCMs can be broadly classed as Organic and Inorganic. Phase Change Materials ( PCM ) Phase Change Materials ( PCM )  Phase Change Materials ( PCM  ) Phase Change Materials ( PCM ) Phase Change Materials ( PCM )
Organic PCMs:
Organic Phase Change Materials (PCMs) can be Aliphatic or Other Organics. Users rarely specify the use of Organic PCMs. Latest^TM can offer Organic PCMs in low temperature range. Organic PCMs are expensive and they have average Latent Heat per unit volume and low density. Most items in organic PCM range are combustible in nature. They also have a wider range of Melting Point. Some customers specify organic PCMs and we offer them as per PCMs as per their requirement. You need specify the desired Melting Point only.

Inorganic PCMs:
Inorganic Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are generally Hydrated Salt based materials. Academicians are likely to misguide you into using pure hydrated salts like Sodium Sulphate Decahydrate and so on. Hydrated salts have a number of hydrates and an anhydrous form leading to stratification of material and loss of Latent Heat recovery with time. Hydrated salts also have a sub-cooling tendency. Old generation PCM manufacturers managed to add performance-enhancing agents. These additives do help in delaying the degradation of PCMs for say 100 cycles or thereabout. However, they do not address the basic reasons due to which sub-cooling and degradation happens. Earlier researchers emphasized that it is beneficial to use impure grades of base material as it promotes the nucleation and prevents sub-cooling. However, impurities also promoted nucleation of undesirable hydrates leading to stratification. Experts on crystallography have managed to identify the “Preferred Crystal Nucleation” method. It consists of a “Cold Finger” that nucleates and promotes the growth of desired crystals and “Detoxification” or “Selective Elimination” whereby any impurity that promotes the growth of undesirable crystals is removed. The current methods of Phase Change Material (PCM) manufacturing are like the new generation “Combination Drugs”.

We have Phase Change Materials (PCMs) & Heat-Treatment Salts upto 1100oC
The Yellow Marked Products are running items and extensively used world wide.

For a detailed write up on Phase Change Materials (PCMs) visit our page Products. It gives general information on all the products like T-series PCM 18-29^oC; s-series PCM 25-45^oC and U-series PCM 6-33^oC. The U-series is strongly recommended for those seeking negligible change in specific gravity when the PCM changes from liquid to solid form and vice-versa. Hot & Cold Packs, Freezer Salts, “Your Choice PCM”, and Encapsulation are also addressed.
