SolFoil Oy

Currently the most significant portable solutions for cooking and heating outdoors are grills and cookers. They are often expensive, bulky and heavy. Some create lots of waste, smoke and a risk of fire, and therefore cannot be used everywhere outdoors. Chemical heating pouches are the only alternatives that can be integrated to pre-packed packages, but they are expensive, hard to dispose and have caused cases of explosion. Many companies and organizations such as World Food Program, Unites Nations and some food manufacturers have reported that they have not found so far a real lightweight, portable and safe solution to heat or cook the food or water. As a result for example emergency meals are eaten cold and outdoor shower water in a refugee camps is often cold. There are also companies that are looking for a "field solution" to heat up their non-food material for example for healthcare such as cast and orthosis, that currently is heated with bulky electrical equipment. That is a problem, since especially in the crisis situations lightweight equipment would be preferred. SolFoil creates new patented and tested solar heating and cooking solutions to meet existing needs in the outdoor, crisis and emergency and peacekeeping and military field. We have an ongoing Tempo project and we have already received solar heating film that is needed in all our products. Soon we will receive first industrially manufactured prototypes of first product, solar heated water pouch. Water heating is a common challenge in many fields. For example dry-meal companies have a problem that their customers won't always carry heavy equipment for heating the water needed in the meals, and then eat the meals cold. Meals would taste much better when they are warm, and that is why their customers buy less dry-meals. By using ultra-compact and safe water heating pouch they can enjoy a warm meal instead of a cold one. Ideal user is someone, who cannot carry heavy equipment for heating the water that is needed in the dry meals, coffee etc, or is outdoors in the areas where using grills or cookers is not allowed due to risk of fire. The person can be for example hiker, mountaineer or someone going to the park. Water heating is a problem also in crisis and emergencies and peacekeeping and military. In the later phase we create also application for example for outdoor shower bags and water sterilization for the real needs. Now we are seeking €250K for piloting with the water heating pouch matched with Business Finland R&D&Piloting funding.
