What is the composition and principle of self-heating package?

There are different formulas for the heating package of self-cooked hot pot, but in general, it is mainly composed of quicklime, activated carbon, iron powder and aluminum powder. When lime comes into contact with water, it will release a lot of heat, which is the main heat source of heating package.

Activated carbon is an adsorbent, which is beneficial to the adhesion, full contact and chemical reaction of various effective components. Iron powder and aluminum powder can react with oxygen to release a small amount of heat, and the heating package is packed with high-density non-woven fabric. If there is no flame, spontaneous combustion can hardly be achieved.

Extended data:

The heating package is not in direct contact with food, and this patented technology has been implemented in the military field for many years. Many troops who need to perform field missions are equipped with hot food packs.
