CONTENTS
Iron powder, active carbon1, vermiculite2, salt, water
1) Charcoal (active carbon) is a fine grain carbon (90% carbon materials) with a large surface area and a highly porous structure. The pores are similar to a sponge in that they are bound together on top of one another. To give you an idea of the porous structure of this material the inner surface area of 2 grams of this charcoal has a surface area of a football field.
2) Vermiculite is a soft mineral which influences the ground fertility due to its high tendency to exchange ions. Vermiculite is similar to mica minerals and it forms flaky crystals. This mineral is often used in cat litter and gound fertilisers. It can also be found in buildings as a safe alternative to asbestos for sound and heat isolation as well as fire protection.
Functionality
ACTIVATION
You do not need to charge or boil! Just open the packet and remove the warmer – which will warm up within minutes.
STOPPING THE REACTION AND REACTIVATION
You can stop the chemical reaction by placing the warmer in a air tight bag. To reuse remove the warmer from this air tight environment.
CHEMICAL REACTION
A warmer contains a bag which allows air to move across it. The reaction between the iron powder in the warmer and the oxygen in air results in a heat generating reaction. Salt and water act as a catalyst* for the reaction, along with charcoal and vermiculite which act as water reserves.
* A catalyst is a material which influences the speed of a chemical reaction without the material itself being used in the reaction. This material can either accelerate or decelerate the reaction.
