The liquid inside the Hot Poc is non-toxic and made of two ingredients: water and acetate sodium, which is a big scientific name for what we commonly call salt. In other words, the solution is simply a super-saturated mixture of salted water.
The metal disk is considered the heart of the Hot Poc. It is literally a floating piece of metal inside the pouch with one crucial role. When it is bent or “clicked”, its interaction with the liquid triggers the heat reaction for you to enjoy. When the metal disc is “clicked” or bent, microscopic pieces of metal are released, which creates “nucleation sites”. When in contact with these sites, the liquid changes from liquid to solid, a process called crystallization.
The heat will last between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of your Hot Poc. Once the magic is over, the process needs to be reversed before you can reuse it. Simply reset the Hot Poc by placing it in boiling water for approximately five minutes. The crystals will absorb the heat and liquefy.
