Chill Wrap™ Ice Replacement – Smarter, Cleaner Cooling for Chilled & Live Products

Keeping products cold during storage and transport doesn’t have to mean soggy boxes, leaking ice, or bulky freezer space. Chill Wrap™ Ice Replacement is a modern alternative to traditional wet ice, designed to keep temperature-sensitive products chilled, fresh, and protected from dispatch to delivery.

Used widely with fish, meat, poultry, shellfish, crustacea, vegetables, herbs, sera and vaccines, Chill Wrap™ helps maintain cold-chain integrity while making handling and storage far easier.

Why choose Chill Wrap™ over wet ice?

✔ Leakproof
Unlike wet ice, Chill Wrap™ won’t melt and flood cartons. Even when thawed, it remains contained within the fabric – no mess, no contamination.

✔ Compact to store
One carton of Chill Wrap™ sheets can replace up to 300kg of ice, freeing up valuable freezer and storage space.

✔ Fast hydration
Chill Wrap™ sheets hydrate quickly and are ready to freeze in minimal time.

✔ Easy to prepare and handle
Lightweight, flexible, and simple to use – no heavy lifting or draining required.

✔ More cooling power than wet ice
Chill Wrap™ delivers longer-lasting, consistent cooling compared to traditional ice.

✔ Safe for food contact
Designed for direct use with food products. Food safety certification is available on request.


How does Chill Wrap™ work?

Chill Wrap™ Ice Replacement (also known as gel ice) uses the hydrophilic action of a special salt in a surprisingly effective way:

  1. Absorbs water through the fabric surface
  2. Traps the water inside a damp gel that cannot escape
  3. Freezes the gel to create ice
  4. Remains flexible when frozen, thanks to its cellular structure

Because the gel particles are too large to pass through the fabric, it cannot leak when thawed – making it ideal for clean, controlled cooling applications.


Flexible purchasing options

Chill Wrap™ sheets are available:

  • Individually, for smaller operations or testing
  • By the full carton (300 sheets) for bulk savings and high-volume use

Ideal for temperature-sensitive deliveries

Whether you’re transporting fresh seafood, premium meat, produce, medical supplies, or live products, Chill Wrap™ Ice Replacement offers a cleaner, more efficient alternative to wet ice – without compromising performance.

If you require food safety certification, just let us know and we’ll send it through.
