Shipping & Storage
Desiccants serve crucial roles in shipping and storage by controlling moisture levels and protecting goods from damage.
Moisture Control:
Desiccants are employed to absorb moisture, reducing humidity levels inside shipping containers and storage spaces. This is especially important for goods that are susceptible to moisture damage, such as electronics, textiles, and sensitive equipment.
Protection Against Condensation:
Desiccants help prevent condensation, commonly known as “container rain,” that can occur when warm air meets cooler surfaces during shipping or storage. By reducing the dew point temperature, desiccants minimize the risk of moisture build up and protect goods from water damage.
Preservation of Product Integrity:
During shipping and long-term storage, it can be challenging to predict the environmental conditions goods may be exposed to. Desiccants help maintain a stable environment, preventing the degradation of products due to moisture-related issues like mold, mildew, corrosion, or product spoilage.
Extending Shelf Life:
By controlling moisture levels, desiccants can extend the shelf life of products by preventing deterioration or degradation caused by moisture exposure. This is particularly valuable for pharmaceuticals, food products, and other perishable goods.
Protecting from Rust and Corrosion:
Desiccants are effective in safeguarding goods, especially metal components or machinery, against rust and corrosion caused by moisture. By absorbing moisture from the surrounding air, desiccants help maintain a dry environment that inhibits oxidation and protects valuable assets.
