Thermal Insulation You Can Trust for Temperature-Sensitive Products
When your goods depend on staying within a specific temperature range, the right packaging can make all the difference. Whether it’s fresh seafood, pharmaceutical supplies, water samples, or even human organs for transplant, maintaining temperature integrity during transit is critical.
Without adequate insulation, food can spoil, samples can degrade, and medical supplies can become unsafe or unusable. The risk is highest while products are in transit—exposed to fluctuating weather, handling delays, and varying storage conditions. That’s where our temperature-controlled packaging comes in.
Why EPS and EPP Lead the Way
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) remains the top choice for single-use cold chain deliveries in the food industry, while Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) is the go-to for reusable applications.
Both materials offer an exceptionally low rate of thermal conductivity—just 0.035 W/mK—making them far superior to cardboard or other common packaging materials. This means heat transfer is minimal, helping you meet strict cold chain regulations and uphold your own quality standards.
What Low Thermal Conductivity Means
Thermal conductivity measures how quickly heat passes through a material. The lower the value, the better the insulation. With EPS and EPP, your products are shielded from external temperature swings, ensuring they arrive in the same condition as when they were packed.
Benefits of Using EPS or EPP Boxes
- Maintain internal temperature regardless of outside conditions
- Protect against sudden temperature variations
- Maximise delivery windows without compromising quality
- Keep contents under 5°C for up to 48 hours when used with ice sheets or gel packs
FAQ – Thermal Insulation for Sensitive Goods
Q: What makes EPS and EPP better than cardboard for temperature-sensitive products?
A: They have a much lower thermal conductivity, meaning they retain temperature more effectively, protecting goods from heat gain or loss. (Source: EPS Packaging Group)
Q: How long can EPS or EPP boxes keep items cold?
A: With the right ice sheets or gel packs, they can keep products below 5°C for up to 48 hours. (Source: Cold Chain Federation)
