TLX Cargo has launched the first-ever cargo cover to be built from viral barrier material as part of efforts to help contain the spread of the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) and protect cargo from the disease.
According to a statement from TLX, the newly launched TLX WEB15 was built to protect cargo against all viruses, including the Coronavirus, which has severely impacted global trade since the outbreak started in Wuhan, China in December 2019.
Following a meticulous testing process by the world’s leading viral barrier laboratory, Nelson Laboratories in Salt Lake City, the cargo cover was deemed to be able to withstand the spread of the disease by making use of a two-part system that involves a cover and base, sealed with tape.
“The cover, that exhausts water vapour, uses material that is a barrier to viruses between 0.1 – 0.2 microns. This enables our customers to deliver their product, confident that each pallet load is transported and delivered under controlled conditions irrespective of the external environment,” said the statement.
On top of trying to minimise the spread of the disease, the cargo cover was also built to withstand the rigours of air travel and ensure that cargo is protected for the entire journey. – Bjorn Vorster
