Q&A(10)
Q: what is this made of
A: Instant cold packs are made out of ammonium nitrate or calcium ammonium nitrate and a small pouch of water in a plastic pack/bag, when the pack is crushed by hand the two mix and an endothermic reaction occurs and voila, you have a cold pack for about 20-30mins. If you're wondering, yes you can take these on planes.

Q: How cold does this actually get? Can you keep some food cool enough? Does it only last for 20 or 30 minutes and then it doesn't work anymore? Or are they reusable?
A: Franz - We really appreciate your interest in this item, The Instant Cold Packs from up & up™ are designed primarily for immediate cold therapy rather than for keeping food cool. These packs are designed to provide cold therapy for a short period, usually around 20-30 minutes. They are not reusable.
