New shipping solution for temperature-sensitive payloads
ACH Foam Technologies (achfoam.com) announces DuraTherm PLUS+™, an advanced cold chain shipping solution that assures payload temperatures remain between 2⁰ to 8⁰ Celsius for a 24-hour delivery window. Validated to International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) 7D standards, DuraTherm PLUS+™ is available in summer and winter profiles to accommodate off-the-shelf seasonal packout solutions for pharmaceuticals and other products with acute temperature sensitivity.
“The ISTA’s validation of DuraTherm PLUS+™sets a high benchmark and will provide customers great confidence in their product’s protection during shipment,” says Frank Kiesecker, senior vice president Sales & Marketing with ACH Foam Technologies. ISTA’s rigorous testing assures that product temperatures can be controlled within a very narrow range for up to 24-hours. DuraTherm PLUS+™ is also pre-qualified to ISTA 7E for summer and winter profiles. A key facet of DuraTherm PLUS+™’s ability to maintain near-constant temperatures is the expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam cooler core, which boasts superior insulation properties. ACH Foam Technologies’ laboratory developed packaging kit includes the DuraTherm PLUS+™ cooler, inner payload packaging, gel pack refrigerants, outer corrugated shipping box, and precise packout instructions.
