The technical requirements and costs of this process are very high, and it is applied in commercial production. At present, there is a domestic application of radiation synthesis technology to produce hydrogel products, and a hydrogel Cooling gel patch called "KONGDY" brand has been launched. The water content of this product is as high as 85%, and it completely relies on the evaporation of water vapor to reduce heat and cool down.
