TCP Reliable and EFP Corp announce Strategic Alliance to serve Midwest Cold Chain Marketplace
EDISON, NJ -- December 2008 | TCP, leader in temperature controlled packaging announced that they have signed a mutual design and supply agreement with EFP Corp. to provide cold chain products and services dedicated to the cold chain market in the Midwest region of the United States. ”Knowing that the insulated container is one component in a packaging system, we looked for a partner." Bill Flint, EFP President said. With EFP Corporation’s 55 years of experience in providing high quality molded EPS products and TCP’s presence in the refrigerants and phase change materials market alliance was a perfect fit. “A proven container molder [EFP Corp.] and a leader in cold chain technology [TCP] teaming up to bring the market a single source solution provider - what could be better,” Flint said. “Building a relationship with TCP has been a rewarding and educational experience."
TCP Reliable (Edison-NJ) recently installed and validated a new Walk-in Environmental Chamber. The environmental chamber was custom-made and installed to fit a small sized ‘aircraft loading device’ found in international airports. The chamber allows multi-testing capabilities which will enhance international and domestic shipping solutions by providing the ability to analyze various pallet loads of product at one time. Fully programmable, the chamber ranges anywhere from -20°C to +60°C temperatures.
Vancouver, British Columbia, October 3, 2006 – TCP Reliable Inc. (Edison,NJ) has announced the acquisition of the assets of Crypak Industries as of October 1, 2006.

TCP Reliable releases new Phase Change Material (PCM) Packaging
The TCP Panel reduces overall package size and weight
Today, most products which require thermal protection are shipped using ice, frozen gel packs, frozen bottles or polyurethane “bricks” filled with liquids that freeze at 0° C to help hold the product at temperature. These refrigerant materials are called “phase change materials” because they undergo a phase change from solid to liquid at constant temperature. During this transition, they can maintain the phase change temperature (in this case, 0°C) for extended periods of time.
New Thermal Control Protection Panel from TCP Reliable
Winner of the 2004 Worldstar Award, the TCP (Thermal Control Panel) is a new approach to thermal product protection. The panels are blow molded bottles with tabs that allow them to be interconnected in a variety of ways. Inside the TCP’s are special formulations of chemicals whose phase change temperatures are at the optimum storage temperature of the temperaturesensitive product. If the temperature-sensitive product must be maintained within 2 – 8 degrees C, the TCP is filled with a material that undergoes phase change at 5 degrees C. This is exactly in the middle of the desired range. Because it can hold 5 degrees C longer than a conventional phase change material (which undergoes phase change at 0 degrees C, and has very little heat capacity at 5 degrees C), significantly less material is required reducing weight and freight costs. In addition, the phase change material can be placed in direct contact with the temperature sensitive product because there is no risk of freezing. This reduces the size of the final package because no dunnage or air gaps are required.
