Where does the heat in the blanket come from?

  • The heat of the active self-warming blanket BARRIER EasyWarm is produced via an exothermic chemical reaction initiated by exposure to air, resulting from the oxidation of iron.
  • The contents of the warmers are all-natural: activated carbon, iron, water, salt, clay and the chemicals are securely contained in 12 separate pockets.
  • The pockets are designed and positioned to provide the maximum heat transfer in the most efficient manner. Average temperature of 40ºC is reached within 30 minutes; the maximum temperature will not exceed 43 ºC.
