Imagine opening a drink and finding it warm—frustrating, right? A London-based startup, deltaH Innovations, has unveiled a game-changing self-chilling can that instantly cools beverages with the push of a button. This cutting-edge technology is set to redefine on-the-go refreshment, eliminating the need for refrigeration.
The secret behind this innovation lies in its unique cooling system. The aluminum can’s base holds a separate water compartment, which, when activated, interacts with salt components embedded in the can’s structure. This reaction rapidly lowers the drink’s temperature, bringing it down from 22°C to about 6–7°C almost instantly. Once activated, the can stays cold for up to 45 minutes, ensuring lasting refreshment.
A key feature of the design is the built-in temperature indicator—a snowflake symbol that turns blue when the cooling process is complete. This visual cue ensures users know their drink is perfectly chilled. Importantly, the cooling mechanism operates outside the beverage itself, so no salt or other materials interfere with the drink’s taste or composition.
Sustainability is a major focus for deltaH Innovations. The startup highlights that the can is fully recyclable, though specific material details have not yet been disclosed. Based on its construction, aluminum appears to be the primary material, playing a crucial role in the cooling reaction. The can’s design also allows brands to customize its appearance, with a minimalistic middle section left open for branding, while the base remains black to highlight the snowflake logo within an Arctic blue circle.

As of now, there is no confirmed launch date for the self-chilling can. Founder James Vyse states that the product is still patent pending, inspired by the common label on beverage cans that reads “Best served chilled.” Recognizing the inconvenience of keeping drinks cold on the go, Vyse developed a solution that delivers instant cooling with a simple press of a button.
Although mass production details remain undisclosed, this self-cooling can could transform the beverage industry, offering both consumers and brands an unprecedented level of convenience and innovation.
