Coolers
Coolers made of PlastiSpan insulation are a moulded, expanded polystyrene container for storage or transportation of temperature sensitive materials. In addition to the lightweight nature paired with the excellent R-value of the product, EPS offers a structurally strong cooler, with compressive strength and moisture resistance. Our coolers are manufactured at your choice of foam density, with a wide variety of available sizes.
- Extremely cost-effective and lightweight excellent thermal insulation
- Structurally strong with compressive strength and moisture resistance
- Your choice of foam density
- Foam shippers, foam liners, and foam coolers available
- Fit any product with custom shapes
