Abstract

The present invention relates to containers and packaging materials, and more particularly to a container having a thermal barrier member for reducing the transfer of heat from and/or to the container. The shipping container preferably comprises an outer vessel with an O-ring and an inner vessel separated by an air gap. The inner vessel has a first and second wall and a lid assembly. The lid assembly has a top lid and a bottom lid and a thermal paste. A felt gasket is preferably positioned between the lid assembly and the first and second walls. The first and second walls comprise at least two relief valves. One relief valve is a Flame Arresting/Smoke Particulate Filtration/Chemical Adsorption Unit Assembly and the valve is bi-directional. The thermal paste is preferably a flowable polymer based heat-absorbing material. The shipping container is stackable on a registration plate with other containers.
