TLX Cargo has launched a new design of thermal pallet cover to protect pharmaceutical and perishable shipments.
The TLX8’s Solarap material contains billions of tiny nano-pores that build a 360° wall of intense energy that scatters radiation from whichever direction it comes and, says the company, works harder the hotter it gets. Although only 0.5mm thick, Solarap nano-pores have a surface area of 35.3 m2 /g, meaning that the pores in one TLX8 cargo cover have the surface area of eight football pitches to scatter and absorb incoming radiation.
TLX is UK-based but the material has been Australia, where real-life conditions proved essential for development and validating performance.
The covers are commercially available through TLX and its global distribution partner Emball`iso.
