What Makes PhaseCell Unique?
PhaseCell leverages advanced PCMs combined with the sustainability and versatility of bio-based ingredients like cellulose. This integration creates a highly efficient, adaptable, and customizable insulation material suitable for a wide range of applications, from packaging and textiles to construction.
Unlike traditional PCM-based products, PhaseCell incorporates PCMs directly into a bio-based composite, allowing phase transitions to occur at the molecular level. This innovative approach provides superior thermal efficiency without the leakage issues commonly associated with encapsulated PCMs.
How does PhaseCell work?
Different PCMs have unique temperature-regulating abilities, and by carefully selecting the right PCM, PhaseCell can be customized to perform efficiently within specific temperature ranges. This flexibility makes PhaseCell suitable for diverse applications, such as maintaining food freshness in packaging, enhancing comfort in textiles, and reducing energy costs in building insulation.
What are PCMs?
Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are specialized substances that absorb and release thermal energy by transitioning between solid and liquid states. These properties enable temperature regulation and significant energy savings, making PCMs an ideal component for advanced insulation materials.
Key Benefits of PhaseCell:
Reduced Carbon Footprint: PhaseCell delivers up to 60% lower CO₂ emissions compared to traditional insulation materials like PU foam.
Customizable properties: PhaseCell can be tailored with properties such as water resistance, fire resistance, and sponginess to meet the specific needs of different applications.
Leak-Free Performance: Unlike conventional PCM solutions, PhaseCell’s molecular integration ensures no leakage issues, even under long-term use.
