Heat packs are used when shipping delicate plants to protect them from the cold and ensure a constant temperature during transport. Especially during the cooler months or during long shipping times, heat packs are essential for ensuring plants arrive healthy.
Since you want to buy a HeatPack from us for your own use, we will of course not open it and will ship it in its original packaging.
How it works :
Heat packs consist of a mixture of iron powder, activated carbon, salt, water, and vermiculite. Upon contact with oxygen, an exothermic reaction (oxidation) begins, generating heat over several hours. There are different versions of heat packs available, each providing different amounts of heat depending on the required duration—in this case, 40 or 72 hours.
40-hour heat packs:
Duration: These packs retain heat for about 40 hours and are suitable for shorter shipping distances or for plants that are less sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
Use: Ideal for shipping plants within countries or regions where delivery times are shorter.
72-hour heat packs:
Duration: These heat packs maintain constant heat for approximately 72 hours and are designed for longer transit times, such as international shipping or when delays are expected.
Use: Perfect for shipping particularly delicate plants or for longer distances where the plants are in transit for several days.
Application:
1. Activation: Open the heat pack's packaging to expose it to oxygen. The pack will begin heating within minutes.
2. Placement: Place the heat pack inside the package, ideally protecting the plants but avoiding direct contact with the leaves or delicate plant parts. It can be secured with packing paper or cushioning material.
3. Insulation: Use additional insulating materials such as bubble wrap, Styrofoam or special insulated boxes to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the plants from getting too cold.
Notes:
Make sure that the heat pack is not placed too close to the plants, as it could get too hot and cause damage.
Heat packs are disposable products and can be disposed of after use.
