The purpose of isothermal packaging is preserving the temperature within, maintaining the cold chain and properly transporting all kinds of food, biological products, chemicals, medicines and even works of art.
To ensure that these packages fulfil their function, it is necessary to use specific technical foams that act as a thermal insulator and have other important properties, which are detailed below.
Isothermal boxes (packaging)
If isothermal boxes were already a very frequently used item, the growth of e-commerce in recent years, especially in the food sector, has seen their use expand exponentially.
If isothermal boxes were already a very frequently used item, the growth of e-commerce in recent years, especially in the food sector, has seen their use expand exponentially.
Thus, it becomes possible to reuse the foams hundreds of times, minimizing the environmental impact derived from their use.
Insulators for isothermal containers
The foams that are available to you from ZFoam to be used in isothermal containers are designed to cover all sides of the box, including the lid and the base.
They have a great thermal insulation capacity, since they have very low thermal conductivity (λ) and, in addition, they are suitable for direct contact with food itself. That is why our foams comply with European regulation EU 10/2011 and the American FDA (Food and Drug Administration) guidelines.
Delving a little deeper into the properties that make these foams suitable for food use, we can highlight their high purity (no VOCs, to avoid the release of substances that may contaminate food), while their easy-clean maintenance and their lightweight structure facilitates their assembly and disassembly inside the box, in addition to making transportation easier.
Isothermal foams suitable for food use
Although there is an wide variety of foams to line the interior of all kinds of isotermal containers, in terms of food use, our polyethylene (PE) foams should take a bow.
The fully custom solutions that we manufacture for your business include:
- Packaging of food products with direct contact.
- Insulators in isothermal containers
- Dividers in food transport.
- Low conductivity isothermal covers.
We wish to emphasise that ZFoam is registered in the Sanitary Registry (RS no. 39.005538/Z), so you can place your faith in the quality of the technical foams that we place at your disposal.
