Insulated shipping containers are a type of packaging used to ship temperature sensitive products such as foods, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. They are used as part of a cold chain to help maintain product freshness and efficacy. The term can also refer to insulated intermodal containers or insulated swap bodies. ==Construction== An insulated shipping container might be constructed of: # a vacuum flask, similar to a "thermos" bottle # fabricated thermal blankets or liners # molded expanded polystyrene foam (EPS, styrofoam, etc.), similar to a cooler # other molded foams such as polyurethane, polyethylene, etc. # sheets of foamed plastics # reflective materials: (metallised film, etc.) # bubble wrap or other gas filled panels # other packaging materials and structures Some are designed for single use while others are returnable for reuse. Some insulated containers are decommissioned refrigeration units. Some empty containers are sent to the shipper disassembled or “knocked down”, assembled and used, then knocked down again for easier return shipment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「insulated shipping container」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
