Critical Shipping Performance Advantages

1. Extended Cryogenic Hold

  • Maintains -78.5°C for 72+ hours in standard transit packaging

  • Ensures frozen state preservation for:

    • Vaccines & biologics

    • High-value seafood

    • Clinical trial materials

2. Zero-Moisture Phase Change

  • Sublimation (solid→gas) prevents:

    • Product contamination

    • Secondary containment needs

    • Packaging integrity compromise

3. Density Optimization

  • 35% higher payload capacity vs. gel alternatives

  • Enables pallet-stable configurations

  • Reduces freight costs through volumetric efficiency

Sector-Specific Shipping Applications
