Container desiccants

You can't control the weather. But you can control the moisture.

On a single ocean voyage, your cargo passes through several climate zones — from tropical heat to freezing fog. Our desiccants reliably protect it from condensation, corrosion and mould in every extreme.

Category 4–5 storms are increasing by 25–30 % per decade. Longer routes and delays give moisture more time to do its work.

Container rain damages your goods

Due to strong temperature fluctuations during sea transport, stubborn condensation water ("cargo sweat" or "container rain") quickly forms inside the container and settles on your goods. This must be avoided, as it causes damage such as:

Rust

Condensation water causes rust on metals and sheet plates.

Mould

Mould forms on food, textiles and furniture.

Corrosion

Moisture corrodes machines and components.

Malfunctions

Electronic devices fail due to moisture.

Wet, deformed boxes

Boxes and crates get wet and deformed.

ABSORPOWER Gel calcium chloride container desiccant

By the way

All ABSORPOWER® products work on the same principle

Calcium chloride (salt) very quickly draws the moisture from the ambient air and a special starch immediately binds the absorbed moisture into a leak-proof gel.

Your goods arrive dry at their destination!
