Insulate a cargo container with a ceramic paint additive.

Cargo containers are large steel boxes that are loaded onto shipping freighters and trains. They are designed to be easily stacked on top of one another, as well as hold large amounts of weight. Though cargo containers are intended for shipping, they are sometimes used as ad-hoc garages or home storage spaces. No matter the intended use of a cargo container, they can have their walls insulated to keep in either warmth or cold. Standard fiberglass insulation doesn?t hold up well to the sometimes harsh environment cargo containers withstand. Instead, a coat of insulating paint can be added to the container?s interior.

Instructions

        1. Add the insulating additive to a gallon of paint in the ratio recommended by your particular additive?s instructions.

        2. Mix the paint and the additive with the paint stirrer. Make sure that this is done thoroughly, so that there are no clumps of additive in the paint, and it appears entirely smooth. Make any paint insulate Save 20% on your utility bills

        3. Paint the inside walls of the cargo container with the paint brush or spray. Make sure the cargo container?s doors are wide open when you are doing this. If you do not have adequate ventilation, you could become ill from the paint?s fumes.

        4. Allow the paint to dry overnight.

Time was that trading in storage containers was straight forward.? Like many, we came into the business from the freight industry, knowing our way around containers and where we could buy the from when the shipping lines were finished with them.? It was all nice and straight forward.? Shipping lines bought lots of containers every year to use for cargo and they depreciated them every year until they had a low book value then when they arrived somewhere where there was a demand – they sold them.? There was a small market for secure site storage.? Then of course, people started making things with them, like anti-vandal cabins and later on self-storage using shipping containers came along.? In the meantime, the quality of containers increased dramatically and the storage and site services users demanded higher quality and there were some manufacturers that were only too happy to oblige and manufactured containers. The upshot is that there is a real mix of containers in the storage and site services market and those in the container resale business have to keep a sharp eye on how things are changing.

We now buy containers from shipping lines and?manufacturers as well as buying them back from customers and also buying from auction sites.?Types of containers have changed and expanded too.? As well as the 20ft, we can get up to the 48ft., reefers, half-heights, open tops, refrigerated, flatracks and others.

We find that at least 50% of all of the new containers purchased for resale have “lock boxes”. Simply put, this is a box that is welded onto the edge of the right door of the container which, when the door is closed, covers a hasp which is welded to the left hand door. This allows you to lock the hasp within the box with a padlock that is now unaccessible to the jaws of a bolt cutter, hack saw, or cutoff wheel. Generally speaking, it’s been our experience at AZ Containers that lock boxes added are just one of the many modifications we can add at our yards prior to delivery. Fireproof steel strongboxes provide increased protection for the container’s contents. Alarm system:For additional security, a monitored alarm system can alert authorities to a potential break-in.
