We protect containers from humidity

It is called "container rain"; it is very common and easily ruins the goods that travel or are stored inside the containers. Even when it's not raining, too much condensation can be enough to cause mold to bloom, peel off labels, damage cartons, and ruin goods.

Fortunately, a special, economical and practical product to protect containers from humidity is dehydration chains. They are also known as container desiccant bags.

Are the containers enough to keep the goods safe?

Goods that are shipped remain in warehouses for a long time (perhaps awaiting customs clearance) and are usually placed in special containers.

Containers have an obvious protection function, as well as logistics. The container is tightly closed and sealed; therefore, one could think that nothing particularly interesting is happening there and that everything remains inert, but in reality, it is not.

Indeed, the container remains exposed to bad weather, and its metal walls amplify climatic variations. The direct sun heats it very quickly and to very high levels (think about what happens inside a simple parked car, which is often very hot) and also has windows, just to give an example). Still, a little wind is enough, or evening falls. , to lower this temperature just as quickly.

We should add that the internal humidity easily reaches 100%: with the heat, it rises and becomes water vapor. However, as soon as the temperature drops, 

This vapor turns into water when it hits the ground on the contents of the container.

It's practically raining inside our container. It rains very easily, although the idea may seem strange. The phenomenon is frequent and takes on a specific name: "container rain." And if it does not rain, the condensation can be enough to cause damage even for very high economic values.

Container rain damage

The damage caused by container rain is indeed easy to imagine. Labels come off, boxes get wet, metal rusts, and wood warps.

Packaging is easily damaged (with all the resulting logistical problems, for example, subsequent difficulties in handling loads!), and even the goods they contain are at risk in certain particular types of products.

We tend to believe that all this happens with goods traveling, perhaps by boat. But that's not all: a container that has a person who has to wait for days in a storage yard is just as likely to have bad weather and other problems as someone traveling in the middle of the ocean. But, again, the problem comes from internal humidity, not external humidity.

The solution: highly absorbent desiccant chains

Since the issue is well-known and sneaky, all the containers are already prepared to accommodate the solution. All are equipped inside with slots useful for hooking the container chains.

They are "chains" of highly hygroscopic, absorbent bags with

inside a mixture of calcium chloride and a thickener of vegetable nature, a material capable of containing humidity, keeping it low.

These desiccant chains can absorb an extremely high amount of moisture compared to common silica gel or other absorbent materials; however, this is not their only advantage.

Indeed, container chains:

• They absorb humidity but are only activated when the humidity level exceeds the threshold value of 40% (a level similar to that found on a nice day in the spring), which is the value above which the different degenerative phenomena such as mold, corrosion, bad odors, major condensation phenomena.
• They don't take up much space: thanks to their reduced thickness, they easily attach to the upper slots on the sides of the container without stealing precious space inside the container itself.

Finally, remember that this is a disposable product. Using new chains for each transport means ensuring that you always have inside the container the most protection possible.

For each trip, how many container desiccants bags do you need?

Unlike other desiccant products (the quantities must be established based on precise calculations), desiccant chains are sold in standard packaging according to the capacity of the container.

Each dehydration chain comprises six 120g bags and is fitted at its upper end with a sturdy hook to attach to the fittings inside each container.

At the time of purchase, you have to choose whether you want the dosage for a 20 or 40-foot. We already have everything you need for each shipment to be safe in the container.

Their very high absorption capacity guarantees their ease of use, and depending on the container's size, we're sure to protect the goods well. Whatever the type of transport.
