Abstract
An improved wrap including a pouch formed by opposed inner and outer faces. A first blanket made of a heat absorbing material is integrally attached to a second blanket made of a heat insulating material. The joined first and second blankets are permanently insertable into the pouch. Fastening means are attached to opposite ends of the pouch so that the ends of the pouch may be secured together after the pouch has been wrapped around a fluid container. The fastening means also serve to hold the integrally connected first and second blankets in position within the pouch.

An improved flexible, multi-layer wrap for wrapping around a fluid container to reduce the rate of heating of the fluid, which comprises:
- (a) a pouch assembly formed by opposed inner and outer layers thereof having an entrance opening therein;
- (b) an integral heat absorbing and heat insulating blanket which when cooled has an inner side capable of absorbing heat from the fluid and an outer side capable of insulating one side of the blanket, wherein the integral heat absorbing and heat insulating blanket is inserted into the entrance opening of the pouch;
- and
- (c) first and second fastening means attached to opposite ends of the pouch assembly so that the ends of the pouch assembly may be secured together after the pouch assembly has been wrapped around the fluid container such that the inner side is adjacent to container, and wherein the fastening means are attached so as to secure the ends of the integral heat absorbing and heat insulating blanket permanently within the pouch.
