Polar Icegel reusable synthetic ice, the innovative cold

Polar Icegel, the reusable synthetic ice for all products that cannot tolerate interruptions in the cold chain.
This revolutionary refrigeration system was created and developed to maintain and transport all perishable products such as food, flowers, and medicines at a controlled temperature. Thanks to its original and exclusive formula, Polar Icegel synthetic ice ensures the optimal temperature during transport, also allowing, unlike dry ice, savings of up to 60% on shipping costs.

Our product is attracting particular interest from the perishable goods sectors: fish, shellfish, seafood, meat, dairy products, cured meats, sausages and hams, fruit and vegetables, chocolate, ice cream, and pastries. Also noteworthy is the growing interest in the Polar Icegel synthetic ice system from fresh pasta manufacturers, including those producing spaghetti, macaroni, tortellini, agnolotti, ravioli, cappellacci, and other similar Italian specialties, who have chosen this refrigerated transport system for shipments worldwide.

The Polar Icegel system can be used for transporting both fresh and frozen products.

The technological solution

This effective refrigerant is a revolutionary alternative for food transport, shipping, and storage of any perishable goods. It outperforms all existing refrigerants on the market, including dry ice, gel packs, and traditional ice.
Thanks to Polar Icegel's amazing thermoregulation properties, goods, properly stored in traditional refrigerated containers , will remain ice-cold for a guaranteed 48 hours. Polar Icegel is more economical, easier to handle, and takes up less space than the now obsolete and outdated refrigeration methods commonly used. It is ideal for transporting products that cannot tolerate any interruption in the cold chain.
Polar Icegel is the new technological solution in logistics for the transport of perishable foods at controlled temperatures.

Safe and economical

Unlike dry ice, there are no additional costs or special procedures, regardless of the carrier. Dry ice requires couriers to follow specific procedures performed by specialized personnel to handle it, and the shipping company is also required to submit a prior declaration. The higher costs charged by the courier for handling dry ice significantly impact the cost of shipping. Using Polar Icegel in conjunction with PolarPack allows the temperature to be maintained below 6°C for at least 48 hours.
An ever-growing number of European and global destinations will be able to benefit from the Polar Icegel guarantee, ensuring products arrive at their destination intact and in perfect condition.

Can be used anywhere without limitations: air transport, postal parcels, road transport, container transport.
