Benefits of shipping container moisture absorbers
Using a shipping container moisture absorber rather than silica gel helps prevent costly damage caused by condensation often called “container rain”. By effectively reducing humidity levels inside containers, these desiccant bags and absorbers:
➔ Protect products from rust, corrosion, and mould growth.
➔ Extend the lifespan of both commercial and industrial goods during long distance transport.
➔ Reduce product waste and improve overall shipping reliability.
For industrial operations and logistics, and industrial companies, they’re an essential safeguard for maintaining product integrity.

Desiccant FAQs
How do desiccant bags protect shipping containers?
Desiccant packs help safeguard shipping containers and their contents by absorbing excess moisture from the air, reducing humidity and condensation. This method protects delicate items in shipping containers while in transit or storage.
What is the difference between silica gel and calcium chloride desiccants?
Calcium chloride absorbs moisture from the air and dissolves it into a brine. It can be used in many environments and offers great benefits in high humidity/large-scale situations (shipping, industrial). It offers higher absorption capacity and the brine will not be released once captured. Silica gel adsorbs moisture physically, is reusable by heating, excels in low/moderate humidity (electronics, packaging), but has a lower capacity.
How much desiccant do I need for a shipping container?
Various factors such as shipment time, climate conditions, air volume in the container and the type of packaging used determine how much desiccant should be used, as a guide for a short distance (30 days) Dry goods use 6 Absorpoles for a 20ft container and 10 poles for a 40ft container, for wet goods use 8 poles for 20ft and 12 poles for 40ft.
