Cold Chain Panel Specification Guide for Kenya
Technical guide for cold chain developers in Kenya: panel thickness, vapour barriers, hygiene coatings, and export logistics for horticulture, dairy, and pharma cold rooms.
Cold Chain Demand in Kenya
Kenya's horticulture exports, dairy cooperatives, and pharma logistics drive cold storage construction in Nairobi, Athi River EPZ, and Mombasa port zones. Insulated sandwich panels are the standard envelope for temperatures from +15°C to -25°C.
Thickness Selection
| Application | Recommended Thickness |
|---|---|
| Chiller (+2°C to +8°C) | 80–100mm PUF |
| Freezer (-18°C to -25°C) | 120–150mm PUF |
| Blast freezer | 150mm+ PUF or PIR |
Coastal vs Highland Sites
Mombasa coastal projects need anti-condensation fleece on roofing and careful vapour barrier detailing. Nairobi highland sites suit standard specifications with lower ambient cooling load.
