Why you need an moist heat pack?
Why moist heat pack? Many people are aware of heat treatments are useful for pain relief and there are lots of options of heating pads, wraps, heating towels, electric heating pads, but which one rally works?
Not all heat is formed equal. There are basically two types of heat therapies: dry and moist. Both should penetrate below the skin to relieve pain and soreness, but it is vital to understand the differences between dry and moist heat therapy before you take action.
Best solutions for pain relief---Hot Pads
One of the most useful and unique solution to the body pain is use of a hot pad to get instant pain relief. Pain in the body is a serious medical issue that is increasing day by day and almost everybody is facing it because of different issues like stress or unrest. People of every age are suffering from the body pain and as the age increases, this problem also increases.
What is an ideal heat therapy like?
The most effective heat therapy products are the ones that can maintain their heat at the proper temperature. "Warm" is the proper temperature. The ideal therapy temperature is around 40~45°C. Patients should not have their heat source be hot to the point of burning the skin. The desired effect is for the heat to penetrate down into the muscles. Simply increasing the temperature of the skin will do little to decrease discomfort.
What is micro-encapsulation phase change material ( MPCM)?
Micro encapsulation is the protective technology of encapsulating solid, liquid or gas materials into micro particles with a μm diameter, and has been widely utilized in fields of medicine, cosmetics, food, textile and advanced materials . The distinctive advantage of micro encapsulation lies in that the core material is totally coated and isolated from external environment.
What is a phase change material (PCM)?
Phase Change Material Description:
What is a phase change material?
Phase change materials ( PCM ) are substances which can absorb a large amount of latent heat energy during its physical phase change process of melting and freezing. Many materials are naturally phase change materials. PCMs what we commonly refer are engineered phase change materials which are modified by additives for better nucleation and distribution.

About Us
Who we are?
Shanghai Tempered Entropy New Energy Technology company (Tempered Entropy) is a professional Chinese Phase Change Material (PCM) manufacturer. Our mission is the development, production and sale of phase change materials as well as innovative products based on PCM technology.
What we do?
As a leading Microwavable Heating Pads China Supplier, our main product is micro encapsulated PCM Hot Pads for health and personal care industry. Our products are designed to deliver fast acting constant temperature therapeutic relief from the pain associated with arthritis, muscle aches, joint pain, and much more.
PCM Heating Pad
PCM Heating Pads are our latest invention products for thermal therapy industry. PCMs (Phase Change Materials）are energy storage materials which can absorb or release quite a large amount of heat ( latent heat) in its transition temperature. Compared to other types of microwavable heat pads, our PCM heating packs are more comfortable and easy to use.
Specification:
- Size: 30cm*20cm or 40cm*20cm
- Net Weight: 420Gram or 540Gram
Key Properties:
- Long Lasting constant heat therapy time (40~45°C) over 60~90 mins
- Preheat in micro oven for just 2~3mins, no waiting time
- Moisture therapy ( the particles automatically capture moisture from atmosphere)
- Ultra soft and contour to the body part
- Safe to use in microwave abiding by the instructions
Customized PCM Heating Pad is possible.
8 Reasons Why You Need a Phase Change Material Hot Pack?
8 Reasons Why You Need a Phase Change Material Hot Pack
Heat Pad China Supplier Tempered Entropy offers a series of innovative therapeutic pain relief Hot Pack products based on micro encapsulation Phase Change Material (PCM) technology. The Microwavable Heat Pads supply a moist and deep penetration therapy effect with long therapeutic time and constant temperature output. These Moist Heat Pads are extremely useful for rehabilitation pain, back, neck or shoulder injuries, muscle sprains and strains, joint pain, arthritics, fibromyalgia. Advantages of the MPCM heat pack includes: long lasting therapeutic heating temperature and time, light weight, ultra soft and comfortable, moist and deep penetration..
Beads alike micro encapsulation phase change material (PCM) fillers are small particles in microns with bio paraffin wax as a core and inorganic material as a wall. Compared to the current available products in the market, PCM hot packs have several advantages:
- Microwavable: MPCM particles automatically capture moist from atmosphere, so it is microwavable and heat will be stored in MPCMs just in 2-3 mins.
- Moist and Deep Penetration: The particles automatically capture moist from the environment resulting in moist heat therapy effect and the PCM heating pad release near infrared radiant heat so the heat penetrates deeply.
- Lighter Weight: PCM is an energy storage material which can store 5~10 times energy than other materials such as water, pepples in the same volume. So with the same stored energy, PCM heat pack is smaller and lighter.
- Longer Therapeutic Heating Time:Because PCM stores more energy, so PCM heat pack can supply more than 60~90 mins therapeutic temperature while most of other heat packs can only supply 15 to 30 mins.
- Constant Temperature Output: PCM release heat in its phase change temperature, it keeps the same temperature output in its phase transition which means for quite a long time, the heating pad release therapeutic temperature constantly.
- Ultra Soft and Comfortable:The micron particles are so tiny that they are very soft and comfortable to touch with and the heat pack contours to the body part.
- More safe in microwave: Our MPCMs are made with a bio paraffin as a core, inorganic material as a wall. The inorganic wall in its nature is high temperature and fire resistant, thus it is more safe than other fillers to use in microwave environment.
- Environment Friendly Material: The core PCM are bio PCM which is derived by bio-based materials. The inorganic material is a mineral type which is also environment friendly.
PCM technology originates from NASA for spaceship & Astronauts thermal regulation and MPCM have been widely used in thermo regulation textile, energy efficient construction material, electronics cooling and many innovative consumer products. So what is PCM and how it works?
Phase change materials are the substance which can absorb or release a large amount of heat energy during its phase transition. The heat energy absorbed or released during PCM’s phase transition temperature is called latent heat. Taking advantage of the latent heat, PCM heat packs can supply much longer heat release than other hot packs.
In addition, PCM maintains the temperature at its phase change point, so appropriate PCM can give out near ideal therapeutic temperature. This character makes PCM very attractive in an effective heat therapy. PCM heating pads as high-end heat therapy products have been used by German hospitals and have been proven to be an excellent tool for pain relief management.
Conclusion:
Microwavable heat pad is relative new to the heat therapy industry. Its performance is far better than other microwavable hot packs. PCM moist heat pad is handy and portable, extremely easy to use and can be repeatedly used almost in no waiting time.
