Crystal Super Polar is commonly used in very low temperature environments because of a very high insulating power: it will reduce your energy loss thus save you cost.
Strips and panel stay flexible, resist breaking and cracking whether it be an inside or outside application where temperatures vary from -60°C to +15°C.
Crystal Super Polar is recommended for extremely cold blast freezer.
In these applications, maintaining the desired temperature requires specialized equipment such as refrigeration systems, environmental chambers, or cryogenic coolants, along with proper insulation and temperature control mechanisms.
Additionally, safety considerations are crucial to ensure personnel and environmental safety when working with extremely cold temperatures.
Cold Storage: Many perishable goods, such as certain foods and pharmaceuticals, require storage at temperatures below freezing to prolong shelf life.
Climate Testing: Testing the performance of materials, components, and systems under extreme cold conditions, such as automotive parts, aerospace components, and electronics. Very low temperature simulations can help assess durability and reliability in harsh environments.
Laboratory Research: Certain laboratory experiments and processes require controlled low temperatures. This could include biochemical reactions, material science studies, and testing of equipment performance under cold conditions.
Cold Weather Testing: Testing equipment, clothing, and vehicles for use in cold climates or extreme outdoor conditions. These temperature are closer to the temperatures encountered in polar regions or high-altitude environments.
Environmental Chambers: Certain industrial processes, such as polymer processing or testing of materials, may require controlled temperatures, including sub-zero temperatures like -65°C, within environmental chambers to simulate real-world conditions.
Refrigeration: Some industrial processes or facilities may require refrigeration at that temperature for specific manufacturing or storage needs, such as in the food industry for certain frozen foods or in pharmaceutical production for certain medications.
