Summary

Short description of a new product, i.e. a flask for sportsmen (for instance racing cyclists) which keeps liquid cool for several hours. The flask envelope, made from high-density polyethylene, contains a material with phase change by molecular alloy which was developed by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) under the name of ALCAL, acting as an eutectic mixture and whose composition is chosen in order to ensure a phase-change at a specified temperature.
