DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - August 19, 2008) - ACH Foam
Technologies has launched
DuraTherm™, an extremely durable shipping container for shipping
perishable meats, pharmaceuticals and other products that require thermal
protection. DuraTherm is a state-of-the-art shape molded expanded
polystyrene (EPS) shipping container that absorbs shock, cushions, and
insulates products better than other packaging alternatives such as
corrugated or molded pulp.
"DuraTherm is the preferred shipping container for well-known companies
that require specific temperature range control," said Erich Brandt, VP
Sales for ACH Foam Technologies. "As ACH Foam Technologies continues to
expand its leadership position in the protective packaging market, we
expect DuraTherm to become one of our cornerstone products," added Brandt.
ACH Foam Technologies also manufactures Custom Molded EPS,
Fabricated EPS, and
Loose Fill for the
packaging market. Strict manufacturing specifications and quality control
assures customers receive a consistently superior product. Proven design
consistency, repeat product performance, easy customization and precision
form and fit are reasons customers continue to count on ACH
year-after-year.
ACH Foam Technologies has the most advanced custom-molding technology
available, resulting in faster, more efficient production. State-of-the-art
Hirsch technology allows ACH Foam to mold expanded polystyrene as well as
other materials such as Arcel®, Gecet®, R-mer® and polyethylene.

Environmental Packaging Benefits:
EPS is Resource Efficient -- EPS manufacturing uses little energy and
creates little pollution. Steam is a component of the manufacturing
process. The water from this process is collected and re-used many
times. Only 0.1% of total oil consumption is used to manufacture EPS.
Made with Recycled Material -- Scrap EPS generated during manufacturing is
ground and incorporated into new EPS products. EPS is easily recyclable
and can be turned into new expanded polystyrene (EPS) products or thermally
processed into a resin to make other products such as garden furniture,
coat hangers and disposable cameras.
Reduces Supply Chain Waste -- EPS cushions and protects products better
than alternative packaging (corrugated, wood, etc.) from repeat impacts
during shipment which reduces waste caused by goods that are broken or
damaged in the supply chain saving energy, material and transportation
resources.
ACH Foam Technologies will show DuraTherm at the PackExpo in Chicago, November 9 - 13, at McCormick place.
