Foam Brick PCM Pack
for Pallet & Container Cold Chain Solutions
What Is a Foam Brick PCM Pack?
- A foam brick PCM pack is a rigid or semi-rigid thermal control unit combining phase change materials with an insulating foam structure. Designed in brick or block formats, foam brick PCM packs provide long-duration and stable temperature control for palletized shipments, insulated containers, and large-volume cold chain logistics.
- Unlike flexible PCM packs, foam brick PCM packs are optimized for structural stability, repeatable placement, and system-level thermal performance.
- Weight: 150g
- Size(mm): 140 x 120 x 15
- PCM: -21°C/-18°C/-11°C/-5°C/0°C/5°C/15°C/18°C/20°C/23°C/25°C/28°C

Safe & Reusable Dry Ice Alternative
Temperature-Stable & Leak-Proof Frozen Element
The PCMCOOL Foam Brick PCM Pack serves as a safe substitute for dry ice. Dry ice is governed by strict hazardous materials regulations, but these requirements can be disregarded when utilizing PCMCOOL frozen elements. For you, this translates to less hassle and enhanced safety.
RU Entropy’s PCMCOOL Foam Brick PCM Pack features a dimensionally stable, leak-proof foam core paired with a durable PE/PA composite foil, enabling multiple reuses. It is a dependable frozen element designed for the temperature range of -21 to 28°C, ensuring the quality of your temperature-sensitive products is maintained.
How Foam Brick PCM Packs Work in Cold Chain Systems
Foam brick PCM packs integrate latent heat storage with thermal insulation. The PCM core absorbs or releases heat at a predefined temperature, while the surrounding foam reduces external heat transfer.
System-level advantages include:
- Extended thermal hold time
- Uniform temperature distribution
- Reduced dependence on active cooling
Key Features
- Rigid or semi-rigid brick structure
- High thermal mass for long-duration cooling
- Excellent insulation performance
- Reusable and durable design
- Compatible with pallet and container systems

Why Choose PCMCOOL Foam Brick PCM Packs?
- How To Use?
- Foam Brick PCM Packs should be used along with insulation shipping boxes.
- ①Pre-cooling Preparation: Before use, place the PCM pouches/Gel Packs in a for a certain time to ensure complete freezing;
- ②Placement Method: Evenly lay the frozen pouches on the bottom and surrounding inner walls of the insulated container, ensuring all surfaces of the container are fully covered to form a full-wrap insulation protection;
- ③Cargo Placement: Put the goods in the center of the insulated container, then place the PCM pouches/Gel Packs on top of the goods, and close the insulated container;
- ④Extension of Cooling Duration: If it is necessary to extend the transportation time, additional PCM pouches/Gel Packs of the corresponding quantity can be added on the existing basis, or larger-sized products can be selected;
- ⑤Reuse: After use, wait for the cold storage bag to thaw naturally, wipe off surface stains, and it can be reused after re-freezing.
