New Polar thermal blanket unwrapped for cold chain air freight

POLAR Thermal Products has designed a new thermal pallet cover to help protect cargo that is susceptible to temperature fluctuations during airlift such as fresh flowers and produce, pharmaceuticals and hi-tech electrical equipment.

The newly designed Polartherm LD7 heavy-duty thermal blankets are designed to help maintain cold chain requirements throughout a journey by keeping perishable and pharmaceutical cargo within temperature limits.

Commenting on the introduction of the thermal blankets, Peter Lockett, Polar head of sales and marketing said in a statement: Airlines and logistics professionals are now recognising that heavy duty thermal blankets are an ideal solution to the IATA Chapter 17 regulations for controlled ambient cargo.

Airways normally place thermal pallet covers over temperature sensitive shipments as and when the shipment is accepted for carriage until delivery to the consignee at final destination.

Mr Lockett added: These thermal blankets provide the means to offer customers a better and more efficient way to transport perishable goods by reducing the risk of the cargo being affected or damaged by extreme weather and temperature conditions from the time that the airline accepts delivery until the products are collected.
