Your Ideal Self Heating Drinks for Cycling
How does the can “self heat”?
Within the self-heating can, there are two compartments. The first contains coloured water and Calcium Oxide (Quick Lime), and the second contains 205 ml of ready-to-drink beverage. Both compartments are separated from each other and never in direct contact. When pressing on the transparent container on the bottom of the self-heating can (after removing the bottom lid), an aluminium foil inside breaks allowing the water to come into contact with the Calcium Oxide. An exothermic natural reaction then starts which generates heat. The heat is then transferred to the beverage through the tinplate of the inner can which separates both of these compartments. It takes only 3 minutes in total until you can enjoy your favourite hot drink!
Does the reaction touch my drink?
No. Our self-heating cans have 2 separate compartments. The 1st compartment has your drink or soup. The 2nd compartment is where the natural reaction takes place and is completely isolated. Only heat from the reaction compartment will be transferred to the drink, for your to enjoy something hot for your adventures!
Why does steam appear?
Steam will come out from the bottom of the can around 15-30 seconds after you press down on the can. This is a normal part of the self-heating process. The natural exothermic reaction between water and calcium oxide generates steam. Once you see the steam turn the can to the right side up again and stir softly for a few seconds, and your favourite drink is hot in 3 minutes.
How hot does the can get?
After 3 minutes the beverage or soup inside the self-heating product has increased its temperature by approximately 40˚C over its initial ambient temperature. That means that if the storage temperature of your can was 20˚C, then the product will be a delicious 60˚C. We suggest that you store the products between 5˚C-30˚C for the optimal product and for the reaction to work as intended.
