Protect the Shipping Container Walls with PVC Panels to Keep the Goods Safe

 Just like garages, even shipping containers are undergoing massive conversions. They are large steel-made rectangular boxes that are used for the transportation of goods. But with the recent trend of making the most of every available space, even shipping containers are being transformed into offices and homes. Despite being made of steel, shipping container walls need protection from weather elements to protect the goods inside. Duramax’s container wall panels are designed to withstand moisture and water attack using 100% waterproof materials. Since the pores-free panels don’t react to high-humidity surges, they are the right material for shipping container walls.

Use Minimum Effort in Keeping Containers Clean

Shipping containers are designed to deal with different climatic conditions and are subjected to extreme weather conditions in ports and seas. They are even exposed to harmful pathogens like viruses, bacteria, mold, liquids, and pollens. If left unaddressed, soiled containers can promote the formation of mold, bacteria, and fungi, all of which can pose health risks to the workers engaged in cargo unloading and loading. Therefore, cleaning and disinfecting the shipping containers becomes necessary, and with PVC wall panels, the task becomes easier. The washable wall covering can withstand high-pressure cleaning through the hose. More so, all you need to preserve their sheen is to keep the loose dirt and debris away with a damp cloth and easily-available cleaning products.

Install Vinyl Panels and Forget About Mold Growth

Moisture build-ups are common inside shipping containers, which can harm the cargo if you don’t keep them under control. Moisture attack is bad for all parts of the container, and so is excessive condensation and humidity. They can lead the containers to degrade and rust. Furthermore, not eliminating the moisture on time can damage the cargo inside them, disappointing customers. Moisture-resistant panels are an ideal way of keeping the spaces moisture-free since they don’t let the water sources settle, thereby stopping the growth of mold and fungal growth. On the other hand, FRP wall panels have a porous surface that retains moisture and promotes mold growth.

Fire-Proofing Shipping Containers using Class A, Fire-Resistant Panels

Fires inside shipping containers break out because cinders fall on a surface or because of airborne sparks. Furthermore, fires burning nearby can transfer heat through the container’s steel walls. Preventing fire outbreaks is easy through virgin-vinyl-made shipping container wall panels with a Class A fire rating. They keep your containers safe from fire hazards for an hour. 

Say Goodbye to Bad-Smelling Containers

As much as shipping containers might be durable and can stay maintenance-free for several months, they are delicate in various things, like the smell that can bother you if you don’t look after them. Bad smells inside shipping containers are hard to get rid of, which affects not only the goods but also the hygiene standard of the interior. This is why it is extremely important to install odor-resistant panels to ensure a fresh-smelling environment inside the containers.

Duramax’s premium-graded PVC panels ensure the hygiene standards and cleanliness of the shipping containers are always high. The FDA-compliant panels meet ASTM and CFIA certifications and are highly customizable. For more queries on PVC panels, call the experts at 323-991-7507.
