Cargolux offers protection for perishable goods with DuPont Tyvek covers
A joint effort between Cargolux Airlines International and DuPont de Nemours (Luxembourg) has produced the Tyvek Air Cargo Cover, which represents an innovative breakthrough for the transportation of temperature-sensitive air cargo. Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the blanket creates a unique balance of properties that are ideal for protecting sensitive cargo from extreme temperature variations. As it is porous, it allows gases and water vapour to escape. Air Cargo Covers protect temperature-sensitive goods against sunlight, temperature variations, rain and theft, with pest or contamination control (liquids, dust, pollens, insects, bird droppings etc.) as an additional benefit. The covers are also 100% recyclable. Hippolyte Bruwier, a member of Cargolux’s dedicated KeepCool team commented: "This Air Cargo Cover was, for me, the most surprising outcome of a project intended to improve the efficient protection of perishables in pharmaceutical cargo, in many years of activity on the cool chain." The Cargolux Keepcool team has been testing the blanket in stations where temperature-sensitive cargo is mostly vulnerable. Positive results prompted Cargolux to introduce the Air Cargo Covers throughout its worldwide network. Quelle: eyefortransport |
