Thermocontainer is a product made of (expanded polystyrene with a thickness of 15mm to 50mm) with heat-insulating properties and a tight-fitting lid. It should be remembered that the thermocontainer is a passive method of maintaining temperature inside the thermobox itself. To achieve the required initial temperature inside the thermocontainer, you will be helped by cold accumulators or heat accumulators, depending on the temperature regime you need.
Thermocontainers in medicine.
Very often thermal containers are used in medicine. Medical thermal containers are used for:
- Transportation of thermolabile drugs, preparations;
- Transportation of blood;
- For storage of thermolabile drugs in emergency cases. For example, in case of problems with power supply.
Thermal container made of foam plastic.
Thermal containers made of foam plastic are an excellent choice for transporting thermolabile products. Thermoboxes made of foam plastic have a number of advantages over other types of thermoboxes.
Namely:
- Low cost of the thermocontainer;
- Low level of hygroscopicity;
- Excellent heat capacity;
- In addition to protection from ambient temperature, it provides additional protection against damage;
- Low weight
- etc.
How long does a thermocontainer last?
Let’s answer the most popular question from our customers. How long does a foam thermal container last? Let’s analyze all the factors that affect the service life of a foam thermal container:
- The thickness of the thermal container wall;
- The ambient temperature;
- The type and number of cold elements that provide cooling of products inside the thermal container;
- The required temperature regime inside the thermal container.
Let’s consider T-PACK thermal containers as an example. Recommended time to maintain a stable temperature:
- Thermo container with a wall thickness of 15mm – up to 24 hours;
- Thermo container with a wall thickness of 30mm – up to 36 hours;
- Thermo container with a wall thickness of 50mm – up to 48 hours. (can be used with dry ice)
