Results for tag: "Inorganic PCM"

Inorganic PCM composites are a type of composite material that combines a phase change material (PCM) with a matrix material, such as a polymer or metal. The PCM is typically an inorganic material, such as paraffin wax, salt hydrates, or eutectic salts. The PCM is embedded in the matrix material, which provides structural support and helps to distribute the PCM throughout the composite. The PCM absorbs and releases heat as it changes phase, allowing the composite to store and release energy. This makes inorganic PCM composites useful for applications such as thermal energy storage, temperature regulation, and insulation. Inorganic PCM composites are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and construction. They are also used in consumer products, such as refrigerators and air conditioners. Companies that produce inorganic PCM composites include BASF, Dow Chemical, and Honeywell. Show Less Read more
