Products
Large-capacity reusable passive pallet container
Reusable pallet container sized for high-volume shipments with interchangeable PCM packouts for multi-temperature performance and extended hold-times; integrates with monitoring systems.
Reusable passive pallet system (extended-duration)
Reusable passive pallet system designed for medium-to-long duration refrigerated and controlled room temperature shipments using PCM coolants and tested for extended transit durations.
Single-use pallet shipper options
Cost-effective single-use pallet shipper designs using water-based or PCM coolants for routes where return logistics are not feasible; suitable for refrigerated and controlled room temperature payloads for multi-day durations.
Thermal pallet covers and cargo blankets
Reflective, breathable, recyclable pallet covers and thermal blankets engineered to reflect solar radiation, allow moisture exchange, and provide tamper-evident protection for palletized shipments.
Reusable PCM pallet-level thermal blanket
Reusable pallet blanket using PCM-based thermal control to provide rapid packout and intermediate-duration thermal protection between pallet covers and full pallet shippers.
Phase change gel refrigerant packs
Flexible, leak-resistant gel PCM packs available in multiple set-point temperatures for reusable or single-use applications to provide conformable coolant coverage and reduced shipment weight.
