Glacier Tek Unveils RPCM Cool Vest Body Cooling System; RPCM Cool Paks Maintain 59 Degrees Fahrenheit Using Non-Toxic Renewable Phase Change Material

MELBOURNE, Fla. --(Business Wire)-- June 6, 2005 -- Glacier Tek, manufacturer and originator of body cooling systems using Renewable Phase Change Material (RPCM(TM)), announced the introduction of the next generation RPCM(TM) Cool Vest(TM) using patent-pending RPCM(TM) technology that is completely biodegradable and free of hazardous chemicals.


This cooling technology differs from every other phase change cooling garment on the market because it is made from a bio-based renewable phase change material which is derived from a high-tech blend of fats and oils, rather than the commonly used petroleum-based PCM technologies like hexadecane which contain hazardous chemicals. RPCM(TM) is completely harmless to people, animals, and the environment, and freezes at a cool 59 degrees Fahrenheit.

Glacier Tek's RPCM(TM) Cool Vest maintains a dry, comfortable 59 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 2 1/2 hours in a 100 degrees Fahrenheit environment, and is about 10 times less toxic than ordinary table salt, biodegrading faster than sugar. Weighing about 4 lbs., the RPCM(TM) Cool Vests are comfortable and easy to use, designed for optimal fit and style most suitable to the wearer's environment and protective clothing requirements - such as with uniforms and body armor, or military, industrial, or recreational applications. The RPCM(TM) Cool Packs recharge in 20 minutes in ice water or a freezer.
