What is inside of this steam Pack, beads, clay, or gel? Can this pack also be frozen? Thank you!

The pack is filled with silica sand, but looks like clay. It is not intended to be used as a "cold pack", but can be frozen when not in use to prevent molding.

It looks like there is clay inside. I was told to initially soak the HotPac for 24 hours to fully expand. Then, when not in use, keep in air tight plastic bag. If not in use over longer interval, freeze it. Otherwise, it will dry out and lose its capacity to hold heat.

The inside material is called Bentonite. These are intended for heat use, not cold.

I never had your problem - I have had mine for a couple years and love it - got another tub so I can make larger batches. If yours does not freeze and you have followed all the directions to a T may I suggust your tub may be faulty. I read elsewhere that the gel inside it can go bad, don't know why but occasionally it does. May want to check that out.

Never tried to freeze an ice pack by mine keeps frozen things frozen. I would give it another day or two and if it still doesn't freeze I would return it and get a replacement

Keep adding ice. You could also freeze what u make and pull out at the desired solid state

The beads absorb moisture from the air. When heated, it is released. Works great, without wetting and is reusable over and over. Can't imagine it molding unless you stored in an airtight bag after heating before it cools, which I would NOT recommend doing.

Yes, I dont like the cold pack from this so I use a clay cold/heat pack. Hits perfectly and this wrap is very durable.

It's a gel pack. Unfortunately, I can't help with how long the heat/cold lasts as I didn't use it after trying it twice. For me, it was uncomfortable unless you are standing all the time. I am not and sitting with this is very uncomfortable. Sorry I couldn't offer more.

No there is not a gel pack inside. This heating pad pulls the moisture out of the air toro vide it's moist heat. We have bought over six of these heating pads through the years and feel that there is no other heating pad on the planet that compares! My husband would not be able to function without one. He keeps one in the bed and one in his recliner. The only problem is that after a while the hold in switch goes bad and you have to replace it.

Freeze. They feel like they are gel filled but the freeze hard. Like any ice pack you would get with a small cooler.

When I received mine 5 months ago, I wrapped the remaining pieces in paper toweling (had about 3 or 4 packages) & put all of them in a zip lock bag. They lasted easily 3 months. (Longer than that they mold). Mine was very fresh, so that probably makes a difference. It's important to keep it dry and cool. I didn't try freezing - so I don't know if that works. Hope this helps

I just ordered this in the summer. It arrived in an uninsulated box with no ice - and was simply a bag of pricey chocolate ooze. I'd say stock up in the winter or find a seller that ships with an ice pack.

These are re-freezable ice packs, not the one-time use chemical ice packs. Just pop it in the freezer for a few hours and it will be hard as a rock and ice cold for a few hours use.

I am so sorry, but I have no idea what is inside the gel pack. Perhaps you could contact the manufacturer.

Hi Folks...this is John Lucas. I make and sell the Face Caddy. The gel packs are made to go in a microwave or hot water. We recommend microwave if you have one, so you don't have to handle the hot packs out of hot water. If you use a microwave, you can put the packs in the Face Caddy and throw the whole thing in there to heat. No handling of hot gel packs! Perfect.

That would depend on your location. The bucket does contain water in foil packets. In a cold environment the water would freeze and possibly rupture the packet. This is unlikely but possible and should be taken in consideration.Removing the water packets is the easiest solution.

I tried using the Gel Pack as a heat pack. However, like most large packages, ours didn't heat evenly in our 1200 watt microwave. The outside gets hot before the inside gets warm. We gave up. We use a Hot Water Bottle for heat pack and the Gel Pack for cold pack.
