Phase Change Material (PCM) technology leverages materials that absorb thermal energy as latent heat during the phase change from solid to liquid and release this energy during the reverse phase change from liquid to solid. This innovative thermal energy storage solution promotes environmental sustainability and is applied in various temperature control applications, including building systems, electronics, cold storage, and temperature-controlled packaging and logistics.
How is PCM Technology Applied for Temperature Control?
PCMs store thermal energy as a combination of sensible heat and latent heat:
Sensible Heat Storage: As the temperature around the PCM rises, the material absorbs thermal energy, raising its temperature incrementally until it reaches its phase change point.
Latent Heat Storage: Once the PCM reaches its phase change point (solid to liquid), it continues to absorb heat as latent heat without any further increase in temperature.
Releasing Energy: When the temperature around the PCM begins to drop, it releases the stored energy. During the phase change from liquid to solid, the PCM emits latent heat, maintaining a constant temperature until the phase change is complete.
This unique ability to maintain a stable temperature during phase transitions makes PCMs highly effective for precise temperature control. The duration of temperature regulation depends on the type and quantity of PCM used, as well as the environment in which it operates.

ORGANIC PCM
Organic Phase Change Materials (PCM) are derived from plant-based or petroleum-based natural sources.
Known for their high latent heat capacity, they provide efficient thermal management while being environmentally friendly for disposal at the end of their lifecycle. With high purity levels, these materials offer long-lasting performance when encapsulated, making them ideal for sustainable and reliable thermal control applications.
HYDRATED SALT PCM
Hydrated Salt Phase Change Materials (PCM) are water-based salt solutions engineered for efficient thermal energy storage through latent heat absorption and release.
With a higher density than organic PCMs, they provide superior volumetric heat storage capacity when encapsulated. These materials are also cost-effective, as they are easy to manufacture and can be locally sourced near the point of use. Additionally, being non-flammable and compatible with most non-metallic materials, hydrated salt PCMs offer a safe, reliable, and practical solution for temperature control applications.
