Natural Refrigeration and Energy Efficiency with Bionanotechnology
NanoFreeze is transforming the global cold chain with bionanocomposites. We use proteins that freeze water at temperatures above 0 °C, faster, and keep it frozen twice as long, cutting commercial refrigerator energy consumption by 20% to 44% without polluting gases.

Solution Lines NanoFreeze
Patented thermodynamic technologies based on bio-nanocomposites that freeze at temperatures above 0°C and at higher speeds, and maintain freezing for twice as long, protecting inventory and saving between 20% and 44% of energy in commercial refrigerators.
Panels
Natural Freezers panels for commercial and industrial refrigerators. They reduce compressor start-up cycles and, with them, energy consumption.
Cold Coats
Reusable bio-nanotechnology-based ice packs that protect flowers, food, and perishables during air and land transit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the scientific mechanism, bionucleation at temperatures above 0°C, and the application of NanoFreeze.
No! It is a natural phenomenon that occurs in a controlled manner. Ice formation takes place when water molecules arrange themselves to form a solid structure called a crystal. This reorganization begins at a nucleation point, a small particle that serves as a template for water molecules to attach to and form the ice crystal. NanoFreeze uses bionanocomposites that induce this nucleation process at higher temperatures and at an accelerated rate.
Conventional ice is normally produced between -14 ºC and -18 ºC and requires a large amount of energy to freeze. NanoFreeze ice is produced at temperatures above 0 ºC, in a normal freezer, consuming much less energy. Furthermore, under the same conditions of use, NanoFreeze ice remains in a solid state almost twice as long as conventional ice.
Conventional refrigerators and systems use fluorinated chemicals or compressed gases that contribute to global warming. NanoFreeze uses a passive heat exchange system based on bio-nanocomposites that naturally absorbs heat, maintaining products between 0°C and 8°C for up to 24 hours in insulated packaging, without an electrical connection during transit.
Under the same insulation conditions, it keeps cold for nearly twice as long as ice or conventional cooling gels. With a cardboard box or bubble-wrap-type insulation, it keeps the product between 0°C and 8°C for up to 24 hours. The actual duration depends on the packaging, the load, and the temperature at which the product enters the packaging.
Because the gel contains no refrigerants (HFC/CFC) or toxic substances: it is composed of 99.6% water and can be disposed of as organic waste, and its plastic packaging is recyclable. In commercial refrigerators, Natural Freezers panels accumulate cold and reduce compressor run time, which decreases electricity consumption, carbon footprint, and operating costs by between 20% and 44%.
Yes! Pure water usually needs temperatures below 0 °C to start crystallizing. The nucleating proteins we use—the same ones that help form hail and snow in nature—act as a template so that the phase change begins at temperatures above 0 °C, more quickly and in a more orderly fashion. This requires less energy to freeze and the resulting ice is more stable.
No. Our technology is inspired by a protein found in the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae, but the product contains no bacteria, fungi, or any living microorganisms. We use purified, non-living biomolecules and safe, stable synthetic compounds that meet strict biosafety standards.
Requires an initial cold charge: Cold Coats are frozen at -18 ºC for 24 hours if the freezer is empty or 36 hours if it is full with other products, and the Natural Freezers panels are frozen inside the same refrigerator during their first 14 to 32 hours of operation, depending on the version. Once charged, the Cold Coats operate without batteries or electrical connection during transport; the panels accumulate cold so that the compressor works less.
No. The gel is neither toxic nor dangerous, but it should not be ingested. It comes sealed in heavy-duty polyethylene packaging, suitable for indirect contact with food, perishables, and pharmaceuticals. If a package is damaged, the gel can be disposed of as organic waste.
No specialized technical training is required. Cold Coats are frozen horizontally at -18 ºC, cut to fit the box, and placed around the product. Our team installs the Natural Freezers panels using magnets, without modifying your refrigerator. We provide you with a user guide and assist you with the first shipment or installation.
