Whether you are shipping during the transition from winter to spring, fall to autumn, or from the Northern to Southern hemisphere, your produce is at higher risk of spoilage. Although both hot and cold temperatures damage temperature-sensitive fruits and vegetables, temperature fluctuations between hot and cold significantly accelerate that damage. Thus, during seasonal and global routes where your products will be exposed to temperature fluctuations, you must prioritize thermal protection.
Passive Temperature Protection With Thermal Quilt Insulation
Thermal quilt insulation is an effective technology to protect produce against temperature fluctuations during transport. Thermal quilt insulation uses insulating layers of embossed metalized film, non-woven polyethylene, and hollow fiber fill. When wrapped around a pallet, it provides a consistent internal temperature. Our SureTemp® thermal quilted insulation pallet covers offer the highest level of passive thermal protection on the market.
How SureTemp® Thermal Quilt Insulation Protects Produce Against Heat Transfer
SureTemp® thermal quilt insulation minimizes heat transfer to fruits and vegetables by combining reflective surfaces and insulating layers. The outer reflective metalized film bounces radiant heat away, preventing it from penetrating the pallet. Inside, the layers of polyethylene and hollow fiberfill create a barrier to slow conduction, as both materials are poor heat conductors. The quilted structure also limits convection by reducing airflow, stopping warm air from circulating and transferring heat.
How SureTemp® Thermal Quilt Insulation Protects Produce Against Cold Transfer
SureTemp® thermal quilt insulation also protects your produce by retaining heat and blocking external cold. Reflective layers trap radiant heat rather than allowing it to escape. Insulating layers of polyethylene and hollow fiberfill slow conduction, while trapped air within the quilt adds a natural thermal barrier. Further, our thermal pallet cover seals gaps to minimize convection, reducing cold air movement into the insulated area. Together, these features maintain interior warmth, even in freezing conditions.
SureTemp® thermal pallet covers protect against both heat and cold, making them the perfect solution during seasonal change and for global routes. Our thermal quilt insulation technology is also available in box liners, container liners, container blankets, and slip sheets. We specialize in protecting perishables like produce from temperature damage with affordable, eco-friendly passive thermal technology.
