DuPont™ Tyvek® Air Cargo Covers for Pharmaceuticals Ready to Help Meet Revised European GDP WILMINGTON, Del., June 3, 2013 – DuPont Protection Technologies will feature DuPont™ Tyvek® Air Cargo Covers for Pharmaceuticals at the Air Cargo Europe 2013 Exhibition and Conference in Munich, Germany. This new line of Tyvek® Air Cargo Covers provides a solution for healthcare companies and third-party logistics (3PL) providers considering how to comply with Revised European Good Distribution Practices (GDP), specifically for products in the Controlled Room Temperature (CRT) category (15ºC -25ºC). Tyvek® Air Cargo Covers for Pharmaceuticals help reduce the supply chain risk associated with transporting temperature-sensitive products by significantly dampening temperature spikes resulting from solar radiation and ambient temperature extremes during the times when products are most vulnerable – during temporary breaks in the cold chain that occur as part of the air transit process. “Tyvek® Air Cargo Covers for Pharmaceuticals offer shippers of pharmaceutical products an advanced and affordable passive protection solution,” said Mike Dubnansky, Global New Business Development Leader, DuPont Protection Technologies. Designed to meet the specific needs of the pharmaceutical industry, Tyvek® Air Cargo Covers for Pharmaceuticals provide hours of additional protection by substantially lowering peak product temperatures, compared to competitive products such as metalized bubble wrap. “The reflective property of Tyvek®, combined with its low thermal conductivity and well-established breathable barrier properties, help keep products naturally cooler than other covers on the market,” said Malik Zeniti, Western Europe Sales Manager, DuPont Protection Technologies. Tyvek® Air Cargo Covers for Pharmaceuticals have a low risk of flame propagation, and comply with FAR/JAR/CS 25.853 b(5), Appendix F to part 25 part 1 § (a) (1) (iv). They also provide protection from heavy rains and airborne contamination, such as dust, pollens, and bird droppings. Tyvek® Air Cargo Covers for Pharmaceuticals are tailor-made for Euro or US/UK pallets for life sciences as well as large PMC type ULD sizes for other perishables. Engineered with the legendary lightweight strength of Tyvek®, the covers can be installed in as little as 30 seconds. -more-
