  Product Description
The Igloo Ice Block is a reusable freezer pack filled with non-toxic Igloo Ultratherm gel, designed to keep food and drinks cold in cool boxes and cool bags. These ice blocks deliver up to 20% longer cooling performance than standard water-based ice blocks, making them ideal for camping trips, beach days, caravanning, and picnics across the UK. The sealed design prevents any mess or leaks, and the blocks remain lightweight and easy to handle compared to heavy bags of ice.

The Large ice block (14.40cm x 3.51cm x 22.23cm, 0.92kg) works well for standard cool boxes between 25 and 50 litres, providing extended cooling for day trips and weekend camping. The Extra Large option (30.00cm x 4.25cm x 26.67cm, 2.27kg) suits larger cool boxes over 50 litres, such as the Igloo IMX 70, BMX 72, Trailmate, and Latitude 60 or 90 models. For best results, fill your cooler to at least 90% capacity with a combination of ice blocks and ice cubes to minimise air space and maximise ice retention.

Using the Igloo Ice Block is straightforward. Place it in your freezer until frozen solid (typically overnight), then position it in your cool box alongside your food and drinks. The Ultratherm gel releases cold gradually, maintaining a consistently chilled environment for extended periods. After use, simply rinse the block and return it to the freezer, ready for your next outdoor adventure. The blocks are compatible with all Igloo cool boxes and cool bags, as well as most other brands of coolers on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the Igloo Ice Block need to freeze?

The Igloo Ice Block typically requires 6 to 8 hours in a standard freezer to freeze completely. For best results, freeze the block overnight before your trip. Larger Extra Large blocks may benefit from extended freezing time to ensure the Ultratherm gel is frozen solid throughout. Place the block flat in your freezer with space around it for proper air circulation.

How long does the Igloo Ice Block stay cold in a cool box?

The Igloo Ice Block typically stays cold for 12 to 24 hours in a well-insulated cool box, lasting up to 20% longer than standard ice blocks. Cooling duration depends on factors including cooler insulation quality, ambient temperature, how often you open the cooler, and how full your cool box is. For extended trips, pre-chill your cooler and contents, use multiple ice blocks, and fill at least 90% of the cooler capacity to minimise warm air space.

Can I reuse the Igloo Ice Block multiple times?

Yes, the Igloo Ice Block is designed for repeated use over many years. After each trip, simply rinse the block with clean water, dry it, and place it back in your freezer until solid. With proper care, reusable gel ice blocks can last 2 to 5 years or longer. The sealed design prevents leaks and maintains performance through countless freeze-thaw cycles, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to disposable ice.

Should I use ice blocks alone or combine them with ice cubes?

For optimal cooling performance, combine Igloo Ice Blocks with loose ice cubes. Ice blocks provide long-lasting cooling with their larger surface area, while ice cubes fill gaps between items and displace warm air pockets. This combination maximises ice retention by minimising air space in your cooler. Fill your cool box to at least 90% capacity using both ice blocks and cubes for the best results on camping trips and outdoor adventures.

Which size Igloo Ice Block do I need for my cool box?

Choose the Large Ice Block (0.92kg) for standard cool boxes between 25 and 50 litres, suitable for day trips and weekend camping. The Extra Large Ice Block (2.27kg) works best for larger cool boxes over 50 litres, including models like the Igloo IMX 70, BMX 72, Trailmate, and Latitude ranges. For extended trips or larger coolers, consider using multiple ice blocks alongside ice cubes to maintain consistent cooling throughout your adventure.

Is the gel inside the Igloo Ice Block safe for food contact?

Yes, the Igloo Ice Block contains non-toxic Igloo Ultratherm gel that is completely safe for use with food and drinks. The sealed construction prevents any contact between the gel and your items, and the block can be placed directly alongside food and beverages in your cool box. The leak-proof design ensures the gel stays contained inside the block throughout its lifespan, providing clean and convenient cooling for all your outdoor activities.
