Emirates SkyCargo is rolling out a new white cover solution developed in collaboration with DuPont, as part of its range of cool chain temperature solutions. Featuring DuPonts Tyvek Xtreme W50 material, the new White Cover Xtreme will offer enhanced protection for temperature sensitive cargo in hot, cold, and wet weather conditions.
Tyvek Xtreme W50 builds on DuPonts patented Tyvek high density polyethylene material used in Emirates SkyCargos White Cover and White Cover Advanced solutions to offer more robust protection in changing and extreme weather conditions. The triple layered White Cover Xtreme acts as a shield reflecting solar heat when temperatures are high, and as a barrier for conduction preventing heat from escaping when temperatures are low, thereby helping maintain cargo internally at the right temperature. In addition, White Cover Xtreme is breathable and allows water vapour to escape preventing condensation from forming on the surface of cargo and affecting the integrity of the shipment.
From June to August 2017, Emirates SkyCargo has been offering complimentary white covers to all customers who have temperature sensitive perishables consignments transiting through Dubai to better protect cargo from spoilage during summer. On an average, over 30,000 tonnes of perishables from different parts of the world transit through Dubai every month on Emirates SkyCargo.
