PRODUCT INNOVATIONS
Crystals to take the heat
Dri-Pak Limited, producer of traditional and sustainable household cleaning products, has unveiled a new grade of Soda Crystal which is suitable for export to hot countries. The Derbyshire-based company has been producing Soda Crystals for over 50 years. However, at the moment these crystals can only withstand heats of up to 32ºC before they solidify or melt. This has limited the number of countries the product can be exported to. To counteract this problem, Dri-Pak has developed a new grade of Soda Crystal by changing the formula of the crystal. This has made the product stable up to 100ºC, making it ideal for transport to hotter climates. Bruce Maxwell,Managing Director of Dri-Pak Limited explains: “Soda Crystals is one of our most popular products. However, we have all been limited to the number of countries we can export to due to its volatility. This new development, which has resulted in a more stable product, will open up a myriad of new and different markets for both us and our many retail customers across the globe.” For more information call 01159 325 165 or visit
