Features of DampRid for Shipping Containers
This amazing humidity control product pulls moisture from the air through calcium chloride crystals, which absorb the humidity. This process removes excess moisture, reducing condensation and keeping the container dry.
This moisture absorber is typically used in shipping containers:
- During long-term storage of items that are sensitive to moisture
- When containers are transported through humid or rainy climates
- In containers without proper ventilation, especially when the doors remain sealed for extended periods
- When transporting moisture-sensitive goods like electronics, furniture, or fabrics.
This moisture control solution can be easily placed in various areas of the shipping container. Common application methods include:
- Hanging bags or buckets of DampRid on hooks inside the container
- Placing DampRid tubs or canisters in corners or along walls
- For larger containers, multiple DampRid units might be necessary to cover the space evenly
- Affordable: It is relatively inexpensive compared to more complex dehumidifying systems.
- Easy to Use: Requires no installation or power source.
- Versatile: Works well in a variety of environments, from hot and humid to cold and damp.
- Non-toxic: The product is generally safe for most environments and can be used around sensitive items.
Although DampRid is highly effective, there are alternatives:
- Silica Gel: Commonly found in smaller packages, silica gel is effective but may not cover large areas as efficiently.
- Desiccant Packs: Often used in packaging, these can be scaled for larger applications, though careful calculations are needed to ensure sufficient coverage.
- Electric Dehumidifiers: If electricity is available, these provide continuous moisture control, but they are more expensive and require a power source.
- Activated Charcoal: Absorbs moisture and odors, but is less effective in high-humidity environments.
- Baking Soda: Useful for small, confined spaces, though it is not powerful enough for large areas like shipping containers.
