Safely delivering hot melt adhesives to customers in the Middle East requires building a "microclimate shield" against external heat throughout the entire logistics chain. This relies on the synergistic innovation of packaging, transport, and management.
1. Packaging Upgrade: Creating a "Dormancy Pod" for the Product
Active Barrier: Using aluminum composite laminate bags effectively reflects infrared radiation, delaying internal temperature rise. For PUR, it is essential to include sufficient desiccant inside the aluminum bag and employ vacuum or nitrogen flushing to eliminate the moisture that triggers pre-reaction at its source.
Mechanical Reinforcement: Using high-strength, anti-compression corrugated boxes ensures that stacked goods do not collapse under weight, even if softened by heat, providing a stable physical space for the internal products.
Unit Optimization: Implementing a small-unit packaging strategy (e.g., 10kg boxes) minimizes the exposure time of remaining product to the ambient environment after each opening, enabling precise management.
2. Logistics Path Optimization: Charting a "Shaded Route" for Containers
Spatial Selection: During vessel stowage, prioritize cooler locations on the lower decks, away from engine room walls, to effectively avoid continuous heating from direct sunlight.
Passive Cooling: Installing heat-reflective insulation panels on the inner walls of containers is a cost-effective "physical sunscreen" that can reduce the internal peak temperature by 5-10°C.
Active Temperature Control: For the most valuable and sensitive products like PUR, refrigerated (reefer) containers are the ultimate solution. They maintain a constant internal temperature within a preset safe range, completely ignoring extreme external climate changes.
3. Information Transparency: Giving Packaging a "Voice"
Clear communication is the final link in risk management. Using internationally recognized temperature-sensitive symbols on outer packaging, supplemented by storage condition instructions in English and Arabic (e.g., "Store in a cool place, below 30°C"), effectively guides end-users in proper warehouse practices.
