How do I prep the “FT-96” for use?

  1. Store panels in an ultra-low freezer* so PCM is solid (i.e. 48 hrs. @ -30°C).
  2. Before assembly, shake panels to verify PCM is solid. If liquid is heard, restart at step 2a to ensure longest hold time. Using liquid panels, or panels with a solid/liquid combination, decreases hold time
* If the freezer temperature is ever warmer than -25°C, panels may not turn completely solid (due to the possibility of supercooling). If panels are stored within the temperature parameters of the product, but are still liquid, panels may be used, but the hold time will decrease
Store in the coldest area of the freezer; space out panels for good air flow; if stacking, insert a spacer (pencil, tongue depressor, etc.) in between each.
