Self-heating beverage containers available

According to the inventor of self-heating drinks at onTech Delaware in San Diego, USA, this highly insulated, shelf-stable container can be used to hold 10 ounces of coffee, tea, cocoa beverages, soups, and alcoholic beverages. This container contains calcium oxide and water, and the natural chemical reaction of the two can heat the product to 145 degrees Fahrenheit in 6 to 8 minutes and last for 30 minutes. This portable container consists of three parts: a blow-molded plastic cup, a plastic cone, and an injection molded plastic catalytic pellet. Sonoco offers almost all components. The inner cone is used to contain calcium oxide and the outer container is used to hold the beverage. The plastic ball is filled with water and embedded in the cone. The tail is a TE metal seal. This self-heating container is processed by a lakeside food company. The consumer simply pulls off the TE seal on the bottom of the can and presses the open button to activate the heating process. The foam logo, which is attached to the outside of the container, is printed in six colors. OnTech said: “People want to touch when they see it.”
