A good hand warmer works better than even gloves or mittens to keep the hands warm. They can provide up to 130 F of warmth for 45 minutes. When choosing a hand warmer, you’ll find that there are a few different options, including reusable ones. These are considered to be ideal since they don’t have to be thrown away after just a few minutes of use, like many cheap, disposable hand warmers do. They are also an inexpensive alternative to chrome warmers that require refills with Zippo Lighter Fluid. It’s important that you know how to use reusable hand warmers so that you can get the best out of them.
What is Included in the Design?
These warmers are usually available in different sizes, with the standard size being approximately 5×7 inches. They include a gel pack that contains water and sodium acetate trihydrate, which is a food grade ingredient usually found in salt. A metallic disk made out of stainless steel is also included and integrated in the package. This disk is designed for easy snapping, even for those with carpal tunnel syndrome. After heating the gel pack in boiling water for several minutes, they can be activated by snapping or bending the disk.
How Can Chemical Hand Warmers be Reused?
Once the pad has given off all of its heat, it will remain in a crystallized state until it is reheated. Depending on the size of the pad, it needs to be boiled in water for at least five minutes, until the crystals are completely melted and the gel is liquefied. You can then remove it and store it until it is needed. Just like the initial use, you simply snap the disk to activate the heat once again. As long as you use a high-quality product, such as the warmers offered by Express Heat Therapy, you can expect the warmth to last for at least 45 minutes for each use.
