Marine Grade Ice Packs

Nu-Ice is proud to introduce our new line of retail freezer packs. Driven by uncompromised performance, our team has developed a new product to meet the demands of the outdoor and recreational market. The Marine Pak is an excellent alternative to both ice and dry ice, creating a safe, cold, dry space for the sportsmen’s coolers and fish boxes. Additionally, Nu-ice ensures your shipped catch, no matter what the weight, arrives home fresh, without the expense and hazard of dry-ice or inefficiencies of standard gel packs.

Unique Advantages of Nu-Ice

• Extended Frozen Life - The retention of sub-zero degrees (-16°C) for extended periods minimizes the risk of spoilage and loss due to extended trips or unexpected delays. Nu-Ice can keep items frozen longer, including extending the life of ordinary ice.
• Environmentally Friendly - Non-hazardous, non-toxic gel with no special handling precautions.
• Reusable - Reusable until packaging is compromised. Will not break down.
• Dry - No ice melt / water to spill or spoil cooler contents.
• No Air Restrictions - can ship using any amounts by ground, air or any other type of transportation.
• Custom containers tailored to client’s needs.

Advantages of Nu-Ice over Ice and Dry Ice

• Nu-Ice is completely safe, non-toxic, non-hazardous, and environmentally friendly.
• Maintenance of the temperature of Nu-Ice and the frozen product at -16°C upholds the integrity of the product; because dry ice is so much colder (-40°C), freezer burn may begin, and as it immediately begins to dissipate, this promotes degradation of product quality.
• Nu-Ice maintains its temperature two to four times longer than dry ice, allowing for two or three-day and weekend and overseas shipments.
• Dry ice is always sublimating, and is expended under all circumstances, including prior to use, and more rapidly when exposed to arid environments.
• According to the current model, Nu-Ice provides a temperature buffer on arrival. Even when thawed, there is a cold liquid which continues to absorb heat and protect the product; once dry ice sublimates, there is no buffer to the package environment.
• Nu-Ice does not contribute to greenhouse gases and non-degradable polystyrene packaging, or to the use of petroleum-based products, which are quickly becoming obsolete as responsible, corporate citizenship grows worldwide.
• Nu-Ice can be stored at ambient temperature until such time as needed to be activated for shipping. Activation is achieved by freezing the Nu-Ice package for the required time based on the package size. This feature reduces the necessity of dry ice shipments and additional cold storage.
• Nu-Ice is readily adaptable to a fully automated production process, unlike supporting the current packaging needs, which in this case, necessitates shrink wrapping (an extra step in production, costly ventilation systems, and extra expenditures for hazmat handling).
• Nu-Ice, when placed atop the product, does not absorb heat at as fast a rate as a dry ice application, which must also be placed beneath the product to maintain optimum temperature.
• Our test results indicate the consolidated shipping model creates an environment that enhances the natural properties for which Nu-Ice was developed. Nu-Ice has the unique property of preserving energy under such circumstances.
