Controlling the temperature within your shipping container is critical if you want to ensure your goods, get to their destination safe and sound. One element that helps in this regard is insulation and ConnectsWest has all the info you need on the subject. In its new guide, the company explains how insulation improves your shipping containers, versatility, functionality, and longevity. They also highlight some of the materials and techniques they use to insulate the shipping containers they rent and sell. Insulation is a simple and cost-effective way of addressing several shipping container issues simultaneously, including condensation, energy inefficiency, and regulatory non-compliance. However, the most common reason insulation is added to shipping containers is temperature regulation. The content inside of a shipping container can be very valuable and expensive, explained to spokesperson for the company. Without risking the quality of your products, insulation can be used to protect them by controlling the interior climate. As a result, any weather changes will have little to no effect on the shipping container's interior temperature. By adding insulation to your shipping container, you ensure the longevity of your products and the container itself, as it will be less likely to deteriorate over time from rust, mold, or other corrosive substances. insulation also allows for a wider range of products to be kept within your container. Say you don't use your container for storage, perhaps you use it as a construction site office, or even a micro home. Insulation is just as important. Because it is temperature regulating, it helps keep your employees cool and comfortable throughout the day, which in turn makes them more productive. The same goes if you are living in your storage container, your day-to-day routine is a lot easier to go through when you're in a climate controlled environment. Of course, there are many different types of insulation on the market, and the one that you choose will depend upon what you are using your container for. For example, if temperature regulation is of paramount importance, then Connect's West recommends something heavy duty with a high thermal and moisture resistance value. When insulating their containers, Connect's West opts for RMAC's T-H-E-R-M-A-S-H-E-A-T-H-3 insulation, which is a lightweight thermal insulation board composed of a closed cell polyisocyanerate, polyisofo foam core bonded to reinforced aluminum facers with clear coatings. This type of insulation can be used on exterior wall types 1 through 4. Plus, it has a temperature rating of -297 to 300°F and a water vapor permeability of [BLANK_AUDIO]
