Thermal Barriers

Pharmaceutical, biological, chemical and agro-food companies that require temperature-sensitive goods to be shipped at chilled or ambient levels will often have need for thermal barriers in transit. A useful component for insulated shipping, Tempack Thermal Barriers are used in conjunction with cooling elements and insulated shippers or boxes. They essentially enable the refrigerated or initial temperature of a perishable product to be maintained for a longer period.

This insulated shipping product achieves its goal by preventing transported goods from reaching their freezing point. Thermal barriers also prolong the duration of the cooling process, allowing for longer storage and transportation time. They present two different pre-cooling modalities: +5ºC and +25ºC.

The thermal mass of the gel and the interior insulation can ensure the stability of the refrigerated temperature system at +5ºC. This prevents freezing temperatures as well as any sudden climatic variations, keeping products regulated between +2° and +8°С. The performance of these temperature control barriers will endure even in extreme winter environmental conditions or upon initial contact with frozen cold packs. Such qualities make this insulation ideal for transporting many perishable products, including vaccines, insulin, biological samples, reagents and medicines.

By the same token, the interior insulating foam of Tempack Thermal Barriers will guarantee a system at +25ºC, again preventing freezing while negating any sudden temperature spikes. This enables certain reagents and medicines to remain stable in their ambient temperature range of +15° to +25°С. Both refrigerated and ambient states can be upheld for more than 48 hours.

Non-toxic and stain-free, Tempack Thermal Barriers are completely safe and certified for contact with food. Their insulating qualities also act as an extra protective layer against impacts and vibrations.

While this Tempack thermal solution is available in a number of different sizes and thicknesses to suit the needs of individual shipments, it is also an adaptable product in the sense that the manufacturing process allows great flexibility. It is possible to have thermal barriers produced to exactly fit the measurement requirements of any preferred packaging system.
