Validated insulated packaging -18°C

Our insulated solutions for transporting healthcare products at -18°C have been designed, tested, and validated in our climate chambers for transport times of up to 96 hours. Discover our range below. If you can’t find the packaging that meets your needs, contact us and we’ll create it together.

What is -18°C certified packaging?

This is an insulated packaging that allows the transport of healthcare products while respecting the cold chain: during all stages of transport, the temperature of your product will remain below the desired temperature.

How does an insulated solution work for the transport of frozen or deep-frozen healthcare products?

It’s a good ratio between the thickness of the insulated packaging’s insulation and the amount of cold generated inside the packaging. The cold packs associated with these -18°C insulated solutions are rigid packs whose contents change phase at -21°C. That is, they emit a temperature of -21°C. Throughout transport, the cold supply and the XPS insulation will limit temperature exchanges between the external environment and the interior of the insulated box.

What are the possible transport times in such extreme temperatures?

These negative temperatures are difficult to maintain because the temperature difference between the inside of the packaging and the outside is enormous: if it is 35°C in the summer, the inside of the packaging must be maintained at -18°C; the difference is more than 45°C. This is why it is necessary to provide large quantities of cold in these -18°C insulated solutions for healthcare products.

When are these -18°C solutions used?

For one-off frozen product transport, a logistics step during which there is no possibility of storing the product in a freezer or refrigerated truck, our solutions are ideal because they are 100% self-contained. Once the packaging is closed, there is no risk of breakage during unloading/loading, opening truck doors, etc.

Should dry ice be used in these -18°C insulated solutions?

No! These are rigid cold accumulators, whose contents change phase at -21°C. The only constraint is that the storage temperature of the cold accumulators must be significantly lower than -21°C so that the contents of the accumulator are solid. This is something to take into account, but it may be simpler to equip yourself with a deep freezer than to have to track and manage orders for dry ice.
