Designed to fully wrap around the pallet load and thermally protect from heat loss or gain.
Thermal Plus foil pallet covers provide solar radiation protection to temperature controlled goods when exposed to direct sunlight.
This is the primary cause of temperature excursions.
This waterproof foil cover has high heat and solar resistant qualities which virtually eliminates the transfer of heat to the goods within.
It is designed to be single use, although it can be reused if the base sheet is not sealed to the cover.
Thermal protective foil pallet cover
Designed for transporting temperature controlled pharmaceutical, medical, perishable and electronic goods, used within the frozen (-20C),
chilled (2-8C) and controlled ambient (15-25C) temperature ranges.
The laminated layers as shown here include a metalised polyethylene (which is stronger and more reflective than foil) on the inside and the
outside faces, with LDPE (polythene) laminates to provide strength and a nonwoven fabric to provide insulation properties.
A thermal pallet cover needs to slow down, as far as possible, these three heat transfer processes.
Radiation
The main source of heat that causes temperature spikes is RADIATION from the sun.
Unlike conduction and convection - which need particles - infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that involves waves.
Because no particles are involved, radiation can flow through the vacuum of space. This is why we can still feel the heat of the Sun even
though it is 150 million km away from the Earth.
These waves of energy convert to heat when absorbed by a surface.
The metalised polyethylene (MET PET) 'foil' outer of a thermal cover will reflect around 97% of the thermal energy from radiation, massively
reducing the effects of this heat source.
Conduction
Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other.
The better the conductor, the more rapidly heat will be transferred. Metal is a good conductor of heat (and hence is known as a thermal conductor)
Air and water are poor conductors of heat and hence are known as thermal insulators.
