Abstract
The pykrete is a material composed of sawdust and water, which thermophysical properties that can allow be your used a cooling device in cold chains, because there is thawed at the same speed as the ice and has a higher strength and durability. According to the results of this research, water-cellulosic materials ratio of 14% P / P is the more appropriate since it has similar thermodynamic properties to commercial gel used to maintain the cold chain.The other hand, material behaves in a similar way to the commercial gel is pykrete ground rice husk.
