Medical and Personal Hygiene

Many vaccines must be maintained at low temperatures. Easy enough when you have a refrigerator or freezer handy, but a big challenge when your task is to transport a batch of vaccines to another continent in tropical climates. Thanks to a special expanded polystyrene package, vaccines are being transported safely from Africa to Latin America. Each shipping unit holds 400 freeze-dried 3ml vaccines together with 4 kg (10 pounds) of dry ice. The thermal insulation properties of expanded polystyrene maintain the required temperature inside the sealed package for 72 hours.

Single-use food service materials: safer and more hygienic

In hospital settings, single use food service materials are the preferred option, and the sanitary qualities of polystyrene single serve containers are a primary benefit of polystyrene food packaging and service materials for hospital use.
