Are Disposable Hand Warmers Safe?
A Complete Guide from Patriot Packs

How Do Patriot Packs Hand Warmers Work?

Patriot Packs hand warmers are small, portable & disposable hand warmers designed to provide heat in cold environments, making them indispensable for all outdoor activities. The secret to their effectiveness lies in a simple, safe, natural, chemical reaction. Inside each hand warmer pouch are natural ingredients like iron powder, salt, and activated carbon, which react with oxygen in the air when the pouch is opened. This reaction produces heat through the oxidation of iron, a process that is both safe and environmentally friendly.

What Are Patriot Packs Hand Warmers Made Of?

Patriot Packs is committed to using safe, natural ingredients in our hand warmers. Each pouch contains:

• Iron Powder: For consistent, long-lasting heat.
• Salt: Helps to catalyze the reaction.
• Activated Carbon: Spreads the heat evenly.
• Vermiculite: Retains warmth for extended periods.

Our products are designed with your safety and the environment in mind, providing a controlled and sustainable source of warmth.

How Long Do Patriot Packs Hand Warmers Last?

Our hand warmers are engineered to offer up to 10 hours of heat, ensuring your comfort throughout your outdoor adventures.

Safety and Environmental Considerations

Patriot Packs hand warmers are crafted to be as safe for the environment as they are for you:

• Non-toxic Byproducts: The chemical reaction produces iron oxide, a harmless substance.
• Eco-Friendly Disposal: Used warmers can be disposed of in regular trash; they contain materials like salt and iron, which are naturally occurring.

Are Hand Warmers Dangerous or Flammable?

Safety is a cornerstone of Patriot Packs' product design. Our hand warmers are:

• Non-toxic: Safe when used according to instructions.
• Non-flammable: No open flames, batteries, or sparks are involved.
• Skin-Safe: While direct contact with skin is safe, they are best used in pockets or gloves for comfort.

Handling Moisture and Travel Considerations

• Water-Resistance: Our hand warmers perform optimally in dry conditions, but exposure to minimal moisture will not immediately halt their function.
• Air Travel Friendly: Patriot Packs hand warmers are TSA-friendly, making them a great travel companion for cold destinations.

Using Expired Hand Warmers

While our hand warmers have a shelf life typically extending several years, using them within the expiration date ensures optimal heat output and reliability. Expired warmers may produce less heat and are recommended to be replaced with fresh ones for the best experience.
