How Does The Product Work

Within the self-heating can, there are two compartments. The first contains coloured water and Calcium Oxide (Quick Lime), and the second contains 205 ml of ready-to-drink beverage. Both compartments are separated from each other and never in direct contact. When pressing on the transparent container on the bottom of the self-heating can (after removing the bottom lid), an aluminium foil inside breaks allowing the water to come into contact with the Calcium Oxide. An exothermic natural reaction then starts which generates heat. The heat is then transferred to the beverage through the tinplate of the inner can which separates both of these compartments. It takes 3 minutes in total, to increase +42°C above ambient temperature.

An exothermic reaction releases energy, usually in the form of heat or light when chemicals come into contact. The reaction between Water and Calcium Oxide will result in Calcium Hydroxide and heat. Our self-heating cans will reach its peak heat after 3 minutes.

Calcium oxide (CaO) is also commonly known as Quicklime and is a widely used chemical compound primarily in construction. It is a white rock at room temperature. Uniquely, when calcium oxide reacts with water to create calcium hydroxide, the reaction releases a lot of energy in the form of heat. Since it is a non-combustible material, the chemical reaction is ideal for heating your beverages and soups inside your self-heating can.

Steam will come out from the bottom of the can around 15-30 seconds after you press down on the can. This is a normal part of the self-heating process. The natural exothermic reaction between water and calcium oxide generates steam. Once you see the steam turn the can to the right side up again and stir softly for a few seconds, and your favourite drink is hot in 3 minutes.

The final temperature of the product will vary depending on if your have a soup or beverage.

After 3 minutes the beverage or soup inside the self-heating product has increased its temperature by 30-40˚C over its initial ambient temperature.

That means that if the storage temperature of your can was 20˚C, then the product will be a delicious 50-60˚C. 

We suggest that you store the products between 5˚C-30˚C for the optimal product and for the reaction to work as intended.

Your beverage will remain hot for about 20 minutes after activation. The temperature will reach its peak after the first 3 minutes.

Customs and Import Fees

For all other locations, you may face customs charges issued by your local customs authority. Please see below for further information.

Yes! Please note: Goods - such as the Aventura Self Heating products you buy - can't just move freely between countries. When goods are imported into a different country or customs territory, there is a charge called 'Customs Duty' that is charged by the local customs authority where the goods are being imported into.

If a Customs Duty is required by your local territory, you'll be responsible for paying that duty to your local authorities. Whether Customs Duty is payable, and by how much, depends on your country’s local regulations.

If you do have to pay Customs Duty, the amount is usually calculated based on the value of the goods and the type of goods being imported.act us so that we can understand your project and understand your needs.

If you decide to refuse to pay the customs duty fee, we must confirm with the courier that your parcel will be returned back to us before processing a refund for your order and in some instances a shipping and handling fee may be deducted from your refund.

If you're still unsure of whether you'll be subject to customs fees, we recommend contacting your local customs office for more information before placing your order.

Sales Tax, also known as VAT, is a tax charged on the supply of goods or services. Aventura Self Heating is registered for Sales Tax in all of the countries it ships to, so we'll charge you the Sales Tax as part of the checkout process. We collect Sales Tax from you on behalf of the local tax authorities and we then pay this directly to the local tax authority.
