Transportation
Thermal stability in motion.
From long-haul trucking to rail, marine, and air freight, Microtek's PCM technology keeps cargo, cabins, and components in their ideal temperature window — mile after mile.
The challenge
The road, the rail, the runway — temperature never stops mattering.
Vehicles and the goods they carry face constant thermal stress: solar load on a trailer roof, engine heat soaking the cabin, battery packs cycling under demand, and sensitive cargo waiting out long border delays.
Microtek's microencapsulated phase change materials buffer those swings passively — absorbing heat at a precise melt point and releasing it as conditions cool — so drivers stay comfortable, batteries stay efficient, and freight arrives in spec.
Microtek's advantage
Why PCM works here.
- Passive thermal buffering — no power draw on the vehicle
- Reduces peak temperatures in EV battery packs and power electronics
- Improves cabin comfort and lowers HVAC fuel burn
- Keeps reefer and dry-van cargo within tight tolerances during route disruptions
- Lightweight integration with panels, liners, and trim
- Tunable melt points from frozen freight to cabin comfort ranges
