SORBA-FREEZE REFRIGERANT.
The food industry has always battled against two difficulties which have the potential to spoil finely produced products before they reach the end user.
1) Temperature control outside the chiller cabinet and
2) Excess fluids causing poor appearance or actual product deterioration

Sorba-freeze is a brilliant product which addresses both of these problems.
The ice age is over in food packaging.
For hundreds of years low temperature control has been achieved by ice, but ice has drawbacks
a) ice melts, and when it does the resultant water becomes much harder to manage, causing mess and corrosion.
b) when ice melts, at 0ºC, its temperature control is lost and the temperature climbs quickly.
c) ice needs to be contained - in a box, in a bag - or it gravitates downwards and outwards spreading the mess and uncovering the product.
d) Sorba-freeze have even incorporated a special carbon impregnated powder which helps to eliminate bacteria in fluids secreted in the transport of live shellfish.
Sorba-freeze as a refrigerant overcomes all of these.
Sorba-freeze is immersed for 10-15 minutes in fresh water which it absorbs and retains and is frozen.
It is then placed over or around your product which, ideally, should be close to 0ºC. When packed in an insulated container the temperature will then remain at below 5ºC for in excess of 30 hours even when sent by post!
And there is no flood. Sorba-freeze retains its water - it does not squeeze out.
Perhaps best of all, compared to ice or traditional gel packs Sorba-freeze protects your products better because it can be wrapped right round - even placed inside - and it stays there until it is unwrapped at the other end. It takes up less space and works better...
Sorba-freeze brings a new dimension to the transport of fresh products.

Fresh flowers flown around the world, fresh vegetables arriving at market as if they had just been picked, fresh fish, meat and poultry products in prime condition when outside the refrigerator they all depend on keeping cool.
Prior to Sorba-freeze, alternatives were inefficient, heavy, bulky or messy. Now there is a real alternative.
Packed with Sorba-freeze within their container all of these fresh products are maintained at lower, more constant temperatures for longer.
The products stay fresher - worth more.
Once again, Sorba-freeze improves more than quality - it improves profits too.
Medical and Veterinary Use
Ice packs are invaluable for the reduction of both temperature and inflammation in the medical and veterinary worlds, but they are notoriously hard to handle, and messy.
Sorba-freeze pads are easier to handle, much more efficient and last longer too.
For any temperature control requirements outside a freezer or chiller Sorba-freeze has the solution.
