This article is about a sac filled with a coolant. For sea ice, such as Arctic ice packs, see Pack ice

An ice pack
An ice pack with gel leaking out of a hole in the upper left cornerAn ice pack (commonly used therapeutically) is a plastic sac of crushed or cubed ice, refrigerant gel or liquid, or even frozen vegetables.
This refrigerant, usually non-toxic, can absorb a lot of heat, since its specific heat is very high.

It is commonly used to alleviate the pain of minor injuries.

The most common type of ice pack is simply a sack, bag, or towel filled with cubed or crushed ice.

Ice packs are used in coolers (insulated closed boxes for food) to keep disease-bearing foods (meats, milk products, eggs, etc.) below 41 degrees F to keep them safe for eating. If the foods and the ice packs fill the cooler directly from the freezer, then the equivalent of 10 to 20 pounds of ice is needed for each 24 hour period. If the ice pack is filled with a coolant, then the same weight may last longer. If the foods come from the refrigerator then they will not stay cool as long with the same size ice pack. These foods should remain over 41 degrees F and under 165 degrees F for no longer than 4 hours accumulated over their entire existence. In that way, ice packs can be considered equivalent to a larger mass of ice.

Ice packs have the added benefit over ice that they do not cross-contaminate foods as ice can do when it turns liquid and mixes with the foods.


a heating pad that heats when you start the crystallisation process
A heating pad is a pad used for warming of parts of the body in order to manage pain. Localized application of heat causes the blood vessels in that area to dilate, enhancing perfusion to the targeted tissue. Types of heating pads include electrical, chemical and hot water bottles.
