Each plate measures 6.7 x 4.5 x 0.4 inches and is ready straight from the freezer. Because they use a concentrated coolant instead of plain water, they freeze quicker, stay colder longer, and resist punctures and leaks common with soft plastic packs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will a Surmol stainless steel ice pack keep food and drinks cool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCooling performance depends on freezer temperature, container insulation, and what you pack, but the Surmol plates are engineered to maintain lower temperatures significantly longer than single-use ice.
