Product data

Our Vacool® thermal blanket is made with a pure aluminum foil that shields its contents from the sun’s rays and provides a barrier against thermal changes, as well as against dust and atmospheric agents. Inside it has a layer of bubble wrap, creating an additional air cushion that slows down the heat exchange with the outside and guarantees protection from impact. Specially designed for air and road transport, it is particularly suitable for protecting perishable goods during their transhipment.

The resealable base is also optional, which further reduces the risks due to parking on the Tarmac by protecting from the direct heat of the asphalt.

Test result graphs

Below the thermal descent and ascent tests show an excellent predisposition for both cold weather and heat, for medium-long term periods; as indicated in the ascent test sheet, the temperature is maintained for several hours on the + 15 ° C \ + 25 ° C threshold with 40 ° C ambient; while on the contrary, in the descent to external temperature at + 2 ° C, it keeps the product considerably stable inside. In addition, its heat-sealed structure on the sides ensures complete waterproofing, guaranteeing its use outdoors.

It is advisable not to overlap the pallets in order not to crush the air cushion, thus decreasing the insulating power.

Test description

The Vacool® thermal blanket is applied to a pallet of sixteen boxes containing six bottles of water each and positioned inside a thermal chamber and compared with two other types of pallets, one of which is assembled with stretch film only. The boxes are occupied for 79% of air and the rest of water, thus limiting the thermal seal (the air heats up much faster than water) and simulating a critical condition of higher temperature rise.

Method

The temperature inside the chamber was raised to + 2 ° C for a period of 5 days, followed by a period of exposure to a temperature of + 40 ° C for a total of 2 days.

During the conditioning time, the temperature fluctuations were recorded in the various points of positioning of the probes inside the pallet.
