We have an old (almost all metal) chest freezer we purchased used many 
years ago to store pollen.  It became  our "formic" freezer, has been 
for a long time now and is only beginning to show signs of corrosion 
(some of the paint is coming off the walls). We use honey pails with 
tight fitting lids for our formic pads storage, so don't think there is 
much exposure.


For transportation we have insulated some supers (sides and top) with 1" 
Styrofoam.   They hold 5 -3kgs pails each.   Each pail contains 40 pads 
(Most of our locations are 40 hive sets.).  These tie nicely into a load 
and keep the pads frozen well into the afternoon.
