What desiccant should be used in export sea freight containers? There are many types of desiccants, but there is one type that is only suitable for moisture prevention in sea freight containers. This type of desiccant has a moisture absorption rate of up to 300% of its own weight and is an essential product for large-space moisture prevention. So, what desiccant should be used in export sea freight? Let's share this with you below.

There are many types of desiccants, but one type is only suitable for moisture prevention in sea freight containers. This type of desiccant has a moisture absorption rate of up to 300% of its own weight, making it an essential product for large-space moisture prevention. So, what kind of desiccant should be used for export sea freight? Let's share some information with you.
  First, let's understand why desiccants are used in sea freight. Many people are not clear about this. They only know that using desiccants can effectively keep products dry during transportation and prevent them from deteriorating due to moisture. But why does moisture occur during sea freight? After consulting some professional materials, we found that during sea freight, due to the high humidity climate and large diurnal temperature differences experienced by containers at sea, the water vapor inside the container condenses into water droplets, forming "container rain." Desiccants can reduce the moisture content in the container air and prevent the formation of container rain.
  After introducing why desiccants are needed for sea freight, let's look at the previous question: what kind of desiccant should be used for sea freight?
  The desiccants mainly used for moisture prevention in sea freight containers are container desiccants, the main raw material of which is calcium chloride. Because calcium chloride has strong and long-lasting adsorption capacity and high safety performance, it is the preferred raw material for producing container desiccants. Commonly used container desiccants include 1000g/strip, 1500g desiccant bags, and 1500g desiccant strips.
  When using them, pay attention: unused desiccants should be stored in a sealed container after opening, not placed randomly. Desiccants must be stored in a sealed container, isolated from the outside air, so that they remain effective for the next use. Otherwise, the next use will be of a saturated desiccant, which will no longer be effective.
