Alternative to Sodium Acetate Trihydrate

[Ralph01]

Hi, I am final year student looking to implement a heating device similar to a hand warmer to one of my projects. The problem is that I need it to heat to a temperature over 55C, ideally it would generate a heat over 75C. Is there a similar process that incorporates a clicker and can be reused?

many thanks in advance

I think sodium thiosulfate was used for the same purposes, but I am not sure about energetic efficiency.

I would recommend looking into alternative compounds such as calcium chloride or magnesium sulfate, which have higher melting points and can generate heat up to 75C. These compounds are commonly used in hand warmers and can be activated by a clicker mechanism. However, it is important to note that the exact temperature and duration of heat generation may vary depending on the specific composition and design of the hand warmer. I would also suggest conducting further research and testing to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the alternative compound for your specific project.
