The "Handwarmer"
This size measures 3" x 5". It is
great to take along for anything from walking the dog to overnight
winter camping. It is small easy to carry and you can boil it
back to be ready for use again in ten minutes. When your hands start
getting cold, take out the "Handwarmer" and press the
button inside the pack. In seconds the salt crystals will heat
up to 130° F. By comparison most single use handwarmers
warm up to about 104ºF. So with the Quantum Heat Pack, you
get considerably more heat and it only takes a few seconds. It
is fairly simple chemistry - the aluminum button inside triggers a
reaction with the super-saturated salt and water and the salt
(sodium acetate) start to crystallize. As it does it gives off
heat. It is considered a moist heat and because the heat
pack gets so warm, it is very effective for pain.
