Many different types of cosmetics get transported via Air and LTL shipments. Most of the time, it doesn’t matter if particular items are subjected to hot conditions for an extended period. Why? Well, most manufacturers test their products to make sure they can withstand high temperatures for long periods. So, providing that the goods aren’t in a warehouse, the back of a truck under a passive pallet cover, or on a tarmac in 150-degree weather, bad things are likely not going to happen.
However, the same notion does not hold true when it comes to certain products. For instance, if tractor-trailers are carrying creams or lotions during the hot summer months, the ingredients may separate. Thus, when a consumer attempts to squeeze some of the substance into their hand, they receive a liquidy, oily mess instead of what they were expecting.
Meanwhile, the oils in perfumes and colognes can be heat and light-sensitive; they can become ruined when they are left outside on loading docks or tarmacs during the loading/unloading processes. Therefore, it is important to protect such products from the elements during transport. Other cosmetics that might sustain damage in hot conditions include but are not limited to…
• Body Washes, Facial Cleansers, Shampoos
• Liquid Foundations
• Deodorants/Antiperspirants
• Bar Soaps
• Eye Liner Pencils, Lipsticks, And Mascaras
Achieve Sustainable Temperature Protection With A Passive Pallet Cover
A passive pallet cover is most commonly used as a secondary form of protection. Organizations can purchase one or more of the units to create a radiant barrier and provide goods with thermal protection. The SureTemp Prime Line can prove to be just what the doctor ordered for shippers. Three different models are available, Prime, Prime HD, and Prime Breathable. All of them are primarily designed to safeguard items from heat.
The Prime and Prime Breathable options are for single use. Meanwhile, the HD choice can be used again and again. The last thing a person wants to be doing is lugging around a heavy, bulky covering. Thankfully, with a Prime passive pallet cover, they don’t have to as the units are lightweight. Don’t let the lightness of the covers fool you, though. They are durable and robust to handle the pulling, tugging, and moving that comes along with transporting merchandise.
An outer reflective metalized film protects against solar radiation. Plus, the bubble layer insulation, which resides between two clear layers of polyethylene, reduces heat transfer and keeps the internal temperature stable. So, what are you waiting for? Add these covers to your fleet today, especially if you regularly carry the cosmetic items mentioned above.
