Many times, people associate Transhield’s 3-10 mil. protective boat and industrial covers with standard shrink wrap. This of course is understandable since Transhield and shrink wrap are normally white, have a form-fitted look when applied, and are probably zooming down the highway on the back of a flatbed when you see them.

Practical Solution: There is an easy to implement, preventative solution for intermodulation interference that employs chemistry: advanced protective covers made from vapor corrosion inhibitor enhanced materials.

Keeping your equipment protected from all the elements during shipping and storage isn’t an easy task. But, which of mother nature’s elements are the MOST harmful to your equipment? Great question! Knowing the answer can save you time and money when deciding how to protect your assets during storage, down-time, and transportation.

Practical Solution: There is an easy to implement, preventative solution for corrosion of electronic devices that employs chemistry: advanced protective covers made from vapor corrosion inhibitor enhanced materials.

While the development of innovative ideas, processes and products often earns a well-deserved spotlight, protecting that innovation afterward is just as critical as the initial development.

In an agreement with the University of Notre Dame, Transhield now has access to the Materials Characterization Facility (MCF). The MCF is part of Notre Dame Research’s Center for Sustainable Energy (ND Energy). The MCF, located on University’s South Bend campus, “provides world-class equipment and instrumentation to support scientific advancements of new or improved sustainable energy technologies and systems, as well as the characterization and synthesis of any new materials” (mcf.nd.edu).

Every day, new products are transported around the world on flatbed trucks, railways, and ships. They pass through a constantly-changing environment of both environmental and scenic materials. But according to Matt Peat, U.S. Director for Transhield, the majority of manufacturers don’t protect their cargo from those factors, and that can be costly.
