IBC 1000L Anti-Solar Thermal Cover | Bubble Wrap Aluminium Insulating Blanket

Bubble Wrap Thermal Cover for IBC: Maximum Protection Against Solar Radiation

The Kuhlmann Bubble Wrap Thermal Cover for IBC Containers is the insulation solution specifically designed to protect intermediate bulk containers (IBC) against damage and overheating caused by solar radiation. This cover acts as a thermal shield, preserving the internal temperature of the standard 1000-litre IBC container, whether in transit or outdoor storage. Its primary objective is to effectively block direct sunlight and deflect heat, which is essential for chemicals, foodstuffs or sensitive liquids that may degrade or expand under the effect of radiant heat.

Bubble Film and Metallic Aluminium Insulation Technology

The effectiveness of this bubble insulation cover for IBC containers relies on an ingenious two-layer construction designed to minimise heat transfer from the outside.

• Reflective Outer Layer: It is composed of a metallic aluminium foil on the outside (and inside), a material recognised for its ability to deflect sunrays and radiation. This action blocks heat before it reaches the container.

• Insulating Intermediate Layer: The core of the cover is a bubble wrap film interlayer. This layer creates a static air cushion between the reflective outer surface and the IBC body, minimising or even eliminating heat transfer by conduction.

This design ensures optimal protection against heat and radiation, making this product a vital element for logistics in hot climates.

One-Piece Design and Easy Access

The insulating cover has been designed as a one-piece blanket, greatly facilitating its installation. It is fitted by simply pulling it down over the IBC container, ensuring complete coverage of the body.

Access for filling or ventilation operations has also been considered: a Velcro opening is positioned on the top of the cover. This design allows easy access to the upper lid of the IBC container without having to remove the entire cover. This feature is crucial for operational efficiency and maintaining insulation during handling stages.

Wide Compatibility and Standard Dimensions

The bubble wrap thermal cover is sized to market standards. It is perfectly suited to standard 1000-litre IBC containers, ensuring a precise fit and maximum insulation. Its exact dimensions are 4400x1000 mm, confirming its compatibility with the majority of tank manufacturers.

• Compatible Containers: The cover is guaranteed compatible with containers from leading brands such as Schütz, Mauser, GNX, Hoover, Werit and Greif.

By offering an optimal heat and radiation blocking solution, this cover enables professionals to safely transport and store UV-sensitive and high-temperature-sensitive products, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by overheating.
