What is Cold Chain Barrier Technology?
Today’s biologics, vaccines, and pharma compounds require storage and transportation within specific temperature ranges to avoid costly losses or failures. Phase change materials (PCM) are used in rigid HDPE plastic panels in highly engineered cold chain packaging to maintain temperature specifications.
If these PCMs permeate through the plastic panel walls, it can potentially alter the intended temperature profile of the PCM formulation and result in contaminating the packaging and spoiling the contents during transportation and storage. Cold chain barrier technology enables PCM panels to maintain their specified temperature range, protecting the packaging, the valuable contents and the environment from PCM formulations.
How ColdShield™ Works
ColdShield™ is our proven cold chain barrier technology that transforms ordinary HDPE panels into high performing cold chain solutions.
Whether the PCM formulation is organic, paraffinic, or bio-based, ColdShield™ offers the best barrier for PCM formulations packaged in rigid plastic panels.
Regardless of the shape or size of the PCM panel, ColdShield™ ensures safe and reliable passive temperature-controlled packaging and transportation of biologics, vaccines, and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs).
Sustainability with ColdShield™
ColdShield™ reduces permeation to the extent that it prevents any changes in the intended PCM formulation and temperature profile, thus extending the useful life of the panel and minimizing waste.
ColdShield™ technology maintains the recyclability of the cold chain packaging’s HDPE monomaterial, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
Furthermore, ColdShield™ is sustainably manufactured, generating zero emissions, zero water waste and zero process waste.
