Heat Shield Sleeves

Leading Edge have launched a new sleeve material for encapsulating microwaveable pots which reduces the surface temperature after heating.

As an unlabelled pot (which on its surface can reach 80°C after heating) is likely to cause discomfort and potentially burn consumers who remove it too soon from the microwave. 
The new sleeve material reduces pot surface temperature by upto 30° bringing the average surface temperature down to between 35-40°C and maximum temperature down to 55°C (both being within the recommended 60° safe handling temperature for plastic).

The sleeves are machine applied and can shrink upto 55% and are suitable for shaped pots and containers.
