The Vaccine Distribution Has Shown The Importance Of Keeping The Cold Chain Intact While Shipping Medicines

By April 6, 2021 No Comments

There has been a lot of talk over the last few months about COVID-19 vaccines needing to stay frozen or refrigerated. They must be kept at certain temperatures or risk becoming useless and getting thrown out. Hopefully, tons of those issues don’t come to fruition because we need to get shots in arms to combat this pandemic. Vaccines aren’t the only medications that need to be protected from the heat, though.

Other drugs can get ruined by hot temperatures too. According to  Aging Care, most medicines should remain between 68 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit. When they aren’t, they can become ineffective before their expiration dates. That can spell big trouble for those relying on the drugs to alleviate symptoms or treat conditions. Therefore, manufacturers and sellers should take precautions to ensure that extreme heat doesn’t wreak havoc on these shipments.

If they fail to do so, they are likely to have plenty of complaints on their hands. More than concerns can arise, some people might want their money back, too, and that can lead to declining profits. Companies may be able to save themselves some money and grief by protecting their products from the heat, though. How do they do that? Well, we’re glad you asked. Our organization has various solutions available that can do the trick. Those that would like to learn a little more about one of them should stick around and read on.

Tarmac Temperature Protection With SureTemp Pallet Covers

Many medications get loaded onto pallets, packed into planes, and shipped to destinations through the air. However, it is not uncommon for pallets to sit out in the sun for periods during the process, which can be problematic for medicines. That is where tarmac temperature protection with single-bubble SureTemp Pallet Covers comes into play. The coverings are available in U.S. and Euro pallet sizes.

They are also lightweight and easy to install. The covers are designed for single use. That means they are disposable solutions that manufacturers, sellers, shippers, or whoever just need to put on and forget about. It doesn’t get much easier than that. These units provide radiant, convection, and conduction heat transfer protection from both heat and cold. People can use them alone or with other SureTemp solutions for additional security. So, give your medication shipments the tarmac temperature protection they deserve by placing an order today.
