PRACTICAL PRODUCTS FOR BOX INNOVATORS
A pre-conference workshop highlighting some everyday problems (and their remedies) when working with boxes!
STOP THE DRIP
A long-time issue for many container users is “condensation”.
A new approach to this issue is an innovative coating now being widely used in the U.S. “shipping and storage” container space industry.
Inexpensive, and impressively effective, the developers will demonstrate the ease of application, and practical benefits of this unique product.
MIND THE GAP
The use of freight containers to create flexible, and innovative space(s), in the “non-transportation” arena, often leads to inter-box sealing and jointing issues.
Attendees will have a chance to see a new approach developed in the industrial roofing industry.
The system is an easily applied, economical, and environmentally sensitive, and has been specifically re-formulated to have a real relevance to modular construction.
HOLE IN ONE
A new product will be introduced that allows users to make immediate, and “on-the-spot” repairs to a variety of containers, modular structures, and related equipment.
This innovative “repair patch” is available in a variety of “ready to use” pouches and the suppliers will be happy to “shine a light” on how effective this concept can be!”
