Container
Dri bags provide an effective protection against condensation in containers
and unit loads.
During
transport, passing through different climatic zones, the air inside
a container is subject to continuous change. When the air warms up,
the water vapour content increases which produces condensation when
the air cools down again. This
is a continuous process, producing large amounts of water during the
time it takes for the voyage to be completed. Drops of water form on
the contents of the container, resulting in mildew, fungi and rust.
Foodstuffs packed in cardboard boxes deteriorate, labels on cans and
bottles become damaged. Cardboard and paper packaging materials lose
their protective properties, become weak and generally look unattractive.
Stacking of cardboard boxes becomes difficult as stacks collapse.
The
damages are avoidable by using Container Dri, which prevents the relative
humidity inside the container from rising above 60% during transport
and storage.
Container
Dri bags are made of strong, dust proof material which however, allow
unhindered passage of water vapour.
The
active ingredients are a combination of calcium chloride and clay with
a high water absorption capacity. The calcium chloride absorbs the water
vapour that is present in the air and changes it to water which is then
completely retained by the clay.
