Details
Cargo desiccants are essential humidity control solutions designed to protect goods from moisture damage during storage and transportation. These highly effective products absorb excess humidity inside shipping containers, preventing condensation (container rain) that can lead to mold, mildew, corrosion, warping, and other moisture-related damage.
Whether shipping electronics, textiles, agricultural products, machinery, or metal parts, cargo desiccants offer a cost-effective, reliable way to ensure product integrity across long-distance shipments and variable climates.
Key Features
-
High Moisture Absorption Capacity
Engineered to absorb up to 300% of their weight in moisture, depending on formulation, cargo desiccants maintain optimal humidity levels inside containers for the duration of the journey. -
Prevention of Container Rain
Effectively reduces the risk of "container sweat"—the buildup of condensation on container ceilings and walls that can drip onto cargo and cause serious damage. -
Long-Lasting Protection
Provides up to 60–90 days of moisture protection, depending on environmental conditions and container size. -
Easy Installation
Comes in various formats including hanging bags, strips, or flat packs, allowing for flexible and secure placement inside shipping containers, crates, or pallets. -
Leak-Proof and Non-Toxic
Made from safe, eco-friendly materials such as calcium chloride, gel, or clay-based absorbers. Enclosed in durable, leak-resistant packaging to avoid mess and contamination.
