The Heat Company Hand Warmers

Hand warmers that are activated by contact with oxygen. Packaged in pairs. The hand warmers are a 100% natural product, completely free of toxins and environmentally harmful components. These hand warmers (disposable) are also completely odorless. Thanks to their slim design, the hand warmers can be used in any glove or just in the hand.

Use the hand warmers like this:
Open the package and take out the hand warmer.
The contents react immediately to the oxygen and it starts to heat up. Full heat is reached after 5-10 minutes.
Place the hand warmer in your pocket, glove, shoe or inside your clothes, or anywhere else you are cold, and enjoy 12 hours of 40℃ warmth!
After use, dispose of the heater in the regular household trash.

Divide the heating time:
By placing a heated heater in a resealable bag, the heating process is interrupted. This way you can split the 12 hours of heat so that you get heat when you need it (should be used within a week). It is important that all air is expelled from the bag before sealing it as it is the oxygen molecules that activate the process that makes the hand warmer warm.

Since 1992, The heat company has been equipping mountaineers and expeditions, who constantly comment on how well the heating bags work, even at high altitude. In the case of mountaineers and expeditions, we recommend that the heating bags are tested and customized individually.

Activation time, heating time, and maximum temperature vary depending on the air supply of the environment. The heat packs are best suited in environments where the air supply is low, such as in gloves or trouser and jacket pockets. Hand warmers reach their full effect after about 30 minutes and provide a 40°C comfortable warmth for about 12 hours. After use, sort as bulky waste.

Contents
Water, salt, vermiculite, activated carbon and iron powder.
Vermiculites are soft clay minerals that contribute significantly to soil fertility through their ion exchange capacity. They resemble mica in shape and also form 'flaky' crystals. Vermiculite is used industrially in cat litter and soil improvers. It is an alternative to asbestos and can be used as noise and heat insulation and fire protection.

Activated carbon is a fine-grained carbon (of 90% carbon) with a large internal surface area and a highly porous structure. The pores are interconnected like sponges. If you imagine the inside metaphorically, the size of 2 grams of activated carbon is about the size of a football field.

Quality
The heaters meet strict quality criteria: ISO 9001 / ISO 9002

Waste management
The heaters are completely non-toxic and are sorted after use as household waste.

Usage
ACTIVATION: No charging or boiling is needed. Simply tear apart the packaging and remove the heater. It will then heat itself up within a few minutes.

STOP & REACTIVATE: By placing the heater in an airtight package, the reaction that generates heat can be stopped. The heater can then be reactivated at a later date by exposing it to oxygen again. Note that the effect of reactivation may be somewhat limited as it is difficult to store it in a completely oxygen-free environment. Even a sealed plastic bag contains oxygen molecules.
