Container Desiccant Moisture Absorber For Car

What is Container Desiccant?

 

Container desiccant is a special desiccant developed to prevent cargo from getting wet during sea transportation. It uses calcium chloride as the hygroscopic material and has strong hygroscopic ability. The relative humidity in the container can be controlled to avoid condensation in the container and protect the cargo.

 

Types of Container Desiccants

Silica Gel Hanging Desiccant Bags

Silica Gel

Silica gel is a popular desiccant made from silicon dioxide. It is highly porous, allowing it to absorb moisture effectively. One of the main benefits of silica gel is its ability to maintain its shape even when saturated with water.

Calcium Chloride

It can absorb up to several times its weight in water, making it one of the most potent desiccants available. In addition, calcium chloride can effectively reduce the relative humidity inside a shipping container, preventing the formation of condensation and subsequent moisture damage to the cargo.

Hanging Moisture Absorber

Activated Carbon

In addition to its moisture-absorbing capabilities, activated carbon is also known for its ability to adsorb impurities, such as odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This dual functionality makes activated carbon an attractive option for shipping containers.

Clay Desiccants

Clay desiccants, often made from bentonite clay or montmorillonite clay, are a natural and environmentally friendly option for controlling moisture in shipping containers. These desiccants work by adsorbing moisture onto their surface, and they can effectively reduce the relative humidity in a container.

Activated Alumina

Activated alumina is a desiccant made from aluminum oxide. It has a high surface area and porous structure, allowing it to effectively absorb moisture from the surrounding environment. Activated alumina is also resistant to thermal shock and abrasion.

Benefits of Container Desiccant

Prevents Cargo Loss and Damage

The primary benefit container desiccants offer is cargo protection. By minimizing potential for cargo damage, this tool helps ensure the integrity of shipped goods so that they can be delivered in good condition.

01

Avoids Cargo Contamination

When cargo is not properly packaged or protected from things like moisture or temperature changes, the risk for cargo contamination increases. By employing leakproof cargo desiccants, you can reduce the potential for cargo contamination, protecting your own shipment and others.

02

Promotes Sustainability

When cargo is protected from damage, it helps mitigate the overproduction of goods that happens when items are rendered too damaged or defective for fulfillment. Plus, taking measures to deal with container moisture helps extend the life of the container itself.

03

Cost-effective

 

While they incur cost upfront, container desiccants can help you avoid more serious expenses later on down the road if your cargo is damaged in transit.

04

Easy to Use

 

Dry desiccant bags for shipping containers come with a cutting-edge hook for quick and simple installation. Add desiccant bags to your shipping container in seconds to protect your cargo in a quick, straightforward operation.

Individual Bags

Individual bags, with or without adhesive backing, can be placed inside corrugated grooves, spread throughout the container, or adhered to cargo or slip sheets and easily placed atop cargo.

 

Adhesive Strips

Adhesive strips are fixed within the corrugated grooves of shipping containers and lay flat, which is an ideal option for fully loaded containers. The strips can also be adhered to the container horizontally.

 

Hanger Strips

Similar to adhesive strips, hanger strips are hung from eye hooks inside the shipping container. The strips lay flat within the corrugated grooves along the walls.

 

Blankets

Configured as a "blanket" featuring two adhesive strips, the blanket may be adhered directly to cargo or to a cardboard slip, then placed atop cargo.

 
 

Poles and Packs

Poles and packs in a hard shell are hung from the eye hooks inside shipping containers. Packs are positioned up high, while poles lie within the corrugated grooves along the walls, each out of the way of cargo.

 

Plus

Plus come with a carabiner and strap to hang them from the eye hooks inside shipping containers. They are positioned up high, out of the way of cargo.

Common Problems of Container Desiccant

 

Q: How long does container desiccant last?

A: The exact length of time that a container desiccant lasts depends on the environmental conditions, the amount of moisture being absorbed, and the number of desiccants placed in a single container. Generally, you can expect a product to be effective for 12 weeks.

Q: What is the purpose of a desiccant?

A: Desiccants are commonly used to keep products dry and stable. Dry desiccants can absorb moisture from air either by physical adsorption or by chemical reaction, and thus reduce the humidity in the headspace of sealed containers.

Q: What is desiccant in packaging?

A: Desiccants are compounds that can absorb moisture from the air through physical adsorption or a chemical reaction with water molecules in the air. Used to maintain low humidity levels in a closed environment, you typically use desiccants in transport, product packaging and storage.

Q: Is desiccant reusable?

A: Over time and with exposure to humidity, the desiccant will reach its moisture saturation point. Fortunately, these beads can be rejuvenated and reused. To reactivate, spread the moisture-laden beads thinly on a baking sheet and place them in an oven preheated to 79.4°C for 15 minutes.

Q: Is it safe to put desiccant in food?

A: Commonly used desiccants include silica gel and calcium oxide. Silica gel is in form of small beads. It is chemically and biologically inert, so it is not expected to cause harmful effects if accidentally ingested in small amount.

Q: How do you absorb moisture in a container?

A: Use a Desiccant. Desiccants like silica gel are another way to help prevent condensation in shipping containers. They absorb moisture in the air and help keep the container dry. Besides silica gel, calcium sulfate, charcoal, and calcium chloride can all function as desiccants.

Q: How do you keep moisture out of plastic storage containers?

A: Use a Desiccant Pack. A desiccant pack attracts excess moisture in the air and prevents mold and mildew by eliminating the excess moisture that allows it to grow. One desiccant pack is recommended for every 50 square feet of storage area.

Q: Is silica gel better than charcoal for dehumidifying?

A: It should be noted that charcoal-type products have a lower moisture absorption efficacy, while that of silica gel products might decline with repeated recycling; - Ensure the dehumidifying agents are placed in an enclosed environment for the best moisture removal performance.

Q: What material absorbs moisture?

A: Protect your products from humid environments by different types of moisture absorbers: Silica Gel, Desiccant Clay (Activated Bentonite), Molecular Sieve or home desiccant (Sanidry). Silica Gel is at humidity absorber, dry agent, produced with amorphous silica and comes in the form of a semi-transparent hard granule.

Q: How do you keep moisture out of food containers?

A: Minimize the amount of condensation by reducing the amount of air in the packages:
Fill containers to the top.
Use vacuum packing.
Place items into the refrigerator and allow to cool without a lid for an hour before sealing.

Q: How do you know if desiccant is still good?

A: If it never reaches the desired dew point or doesn't hold it for long, then it's probably time to change the desiccant. Pull the desiccant beads out and squish them between your fingers. If they are very brittle and crumble upon doing so, they're bad and need to be replaced.

Q: Is it safe to touch desiccant?

A: There are actually a lot of uses for them around the house. A quick note about that safety warning you see all the time: Clear silica gel pellets are nontoxic and fairly safe to handle.

Q: How much desiccant do I need for a safe?

A: The general rule is that a minimum of 1.2 units of desiccant per 1 cubic foot of volume is needed to adequately protect a given space.

Q: How do you recharge desiccant?

A: Gel desiccant can also be reactivated using a microwave oven. Loose desiccant should be placed in a shallow microwave safe pan and heated at a medium power setting for 3 to 5 minutes. If the blue color has not returned, stir gel and heat for another 3 to 5 minutes.

Q: What color is dry desiccant?

A: Orange Indicating silica gel appears orange or yellow when dry or fresh before using it. When the desiccant is completely soaked with moisture and has gained 15 percent more weight, it appears green.

Q: How do you make a desiccant container?

A: This is extremely simple. Just place a small amount of one of the desiccant chemicals into a shallow dish. Enclose an open container of the item or chemical you wish to dehydrate with the container of desiccant. A large plastic bag works well for this purpose, but you could use a jar or any airtight container.

Q: How do you absorb moisture in a shipping container?

A: Placing a couple of large silica gel bags inside a shipping container can effectively reduce moisture from the interior and control the dew point temperature. Desiccant blankets are also ideal for protecting goods against condensation.

Q: Can table salt be used as a desiccant?

A: There is, however, at least one case in which common salt is still used as a desiccant today: in some homemade preparations, such as capers in salt. However, this habit is also nearly lost, because today we have much more efficient ways to preserve food (also with a lower impact on the flavor).

Q: What is the use of desiccant in packaging?

A: Desiccants are commonly used to keep products dry and stable. Dry desiccants can absorb moisture from air either by physical adsorption or by chemical reaction, and thus reduce the humidity in the headspace of sealed containers.

Q: How do you keep moisture out of plastic storage containers?

A: Use a Desiccant Pack. A desiccant pack attracts excess moisture in the air and prevents mold and mildew by eliminating the excess moisture that allows it to grow. One desiccant pack is recommended for every 50 square feet of storage area.

Q: Why is silica gel used in containers?

A: Silica gel can adsorb about 40 percent of its weight in moisture and can take the relative humidity in a closed container down to about 40 percent. Once saturated, you can propel the moisture off and reuse silica gel by heating it above 300 degrees F (150 C).
