Reusable Heat Packs Whats the Fuss



There has been plenty of science written about sodium acetate (common table salt) and water and what happens when they mix. Science geeks have been creating this fascinating reaction for years in the lab 's8211; using a metal disk to begin a crystallization process (in other words, to flip the salt molecules from a liquid to a solid state) creates heat's8230;and plenty of it. Up to about 130 degrees which will last about an hour or so depending on the amount of liquid.

Of course, then the trick is to boil the heat pack for about 15 minutes and begin the entire process over again. This type of heat pack can, in theory, be used forever since the chemical reaction never wears out. The only component that can wear thin is the container (vinyl, plastic, etc.) which, under normal use, will last year. Otherwise, the salt and water will continue to have the same reaction countless times.

So, what's8217;s the fuss

Why did Mark and Ginette Feldstein decide to build an entire website, http://www.WeBringTheHeat.com, to selling these types of heat packs

Ginette explains, 's8220;The technology has been around but not the application. People still buy the single-use throw-away types of heat packs. They are also throwing away their cash. Our reusable heat packs may cost more initially, but after about 4 uses, they's8217;ve paid for themselves. Then, of course, they can be used for years more.'s8221;

Both the Feldsteins have aches and pains (they claim from an obsession to golf) and have been trying different heat packs on the market for years. 's8220;The microwaveable types,'s8221; Mark says, 's8220;cool off too fast and they are inconvenient. I don's8217;t always have access to a microwave. We won's8217;t use the packs that require electricity. Not only are these limited in portability, but we have read too many articles about running electrical power near the body. Why take the chance We won's8217;t even use electric blankets.'s8221;

When they discovered the sodium acetate heat packs, they instantly knew this was their solution 's8211; completely safe, lasts long enough for relief and portable. The only problem was the heat packs available on the market were all shaped the same 's8211; usually about a 5's8221; X 3's8221; rectangle. Good for certain parts of the body and not moldable enough to wrap around a wrist, for example, or balance on the forehead for a headache.

That's8217;s when they discovered the line of heat packs that they are currently selling. These are designed in numerous sizes and uses. Many include flexible seams running through the heat allowing it to be bent to conform to your body's8217;s contours.

's8220;We just felt that this was such a superior product,'s8221; Ginette says, 's8220;because not only does it deliver what it promises, but are designed for every type of application people need.'s8221;

She is referring to the fact that WeBringTheHeat sells heat packs for every part of the body, from a face mask for headaches and migraines to a larger size for the back and, yes, even a pocket size for early morning tee times for golfers.

Old science combined with new technology and design 's8211; a perfect marriage for instant relief.
