How reliably do desiccants work after being exposed to extreme sub-zero temperatures? Our SeaDry container desiccants underwent a tough test that replicates the severe temperature fluctuations that can occur during transport and storage. The results show why tested quality is so crucial for protecting sensitive goods.

Global maritime trade routes are changing: cargo ships are increasingly diverting to longer routes – particularly on the route from Europe to Asia. This has noticeable consequences for transport times and the protection of sensitive goods in containers.

Effective moisture protection is essential for the safe export of sensitive electronic components in order to prevent corrosion and short circuits. A practical example shows: By using SeaDry desiccants, the relative humidity in the container can be kept constantly low and the functionality of high-tech components ensured during long overseas transports.

1st place Belgium, 2nd place Germany, 3rd place Netherlands. This is not a prediction of the outcome of the European Football Championship, but a ranking of the countries with the largest beer export volumes in the 2022 period under review (according to online statistics platform Statista). Read in this desiccant application case how a brewery […]

Just under 160,000 Germans emigrated to a non-EU country in 2021, according to Statista (“Immigration and emigration in EU countries 2021”, 03.01.2024). Destinations included Switzerland and Norway, but also faraway countries such as the USA, Australia, China and Canada. Such a big move overseas needs to be carefully prepared.

Whether long timber, short timber, solid timber, wood-based materials or even a complete timber house: timber of all kinds is exported and imported in large quantities, some of it in freight containers. At the same time, wood is a particularly sensitive cargo, as it reacts directly to fluctuations in ambient humidity, among other things. Read […]

Glass is a truly universal material with a wide variety of desired properties. In architecture and façade construction, for example, it can be used for solar control, sound insulation and thermal insulation. Read in the desiccant use case how a glass manufacturer with worldwide shipping protects its logistics projects against moisture damage during weeks of […]

More safety in the container: simply prevent moisture damage Load securing is not possible without film, lashing straps and dunnage bags. But what about protection against moisture in container transport? After all, the damage caused by condensation amounts to a good 50 billion euros per year. Find out how you can effectively protect your goods from mold, rust and detached labels over many weeks from 21-24.09.2023 in Karlsruhe.

Cables, speakers, lighting systems, decorations, costumes - all this and more has to go on big tours. Experts recommend using a suitable dehumidification product to ensure that the equipment is not damaged by moisture during transportation and (temporary) storage in the container.

In 2021, companies in the chemical-pharmaceutical industry exported goods worth almost 1.5 trillion euros from the leading countries - including Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Ireland*. The goods are transported by waterway, rail and road, often for weeks at a time and through different climate zones. One of ThoMar OHG's customers is also active in this area, but there were complaints from the recipient side when corrosion was detected on drums and IBC racks during a logistics project at the destination.

According to the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI), more than 20 million tons of paper and cardboard were exported worldwide in 2021. One of our customers, which specializes in the production of graphic fine papers, was also involved in this. During the transportation of paper rolls in containers to China, soaked parts of the […]

Even the temperature fluctuations between day and night can be sufficient for the humidity in enclosed spaces to repeatedly exceed a critical level. Condensation in the form of container rain or cargo sweat also regularly occurs when sensitive racing cars are transported and stored in containers. This can lead to rust and damage to electronic components of the vehicles, for example.

ThoMar products are used in a wide range of industries. But we are not just sellers, we see ourselves as consultants and partners to our customers. In our Application example of desiccants in the automotive sector, you will learn how our customer protected components of clamping devices for vehicle construction against moisture during container transportation […]

The SeaDry Hook desiccant is used whenever the cargo in the container is not packed all the way to the walls. As with the SeaDry Blanket and Pole H variants, we have also optimised the design of the SeaDry Hook so that the product is even easier to handle.

The SeaDry Blanket desiccant blanket is the classic when it comes to particularly large quantities of moisture to be absorbed with container loads packed up to the walls. With the further improved version that we are presenting to you today, you can protect your logistics projects against moisture in an even more user-friendly way.

Strict safety precautions are taken when transporting chemical drums to prevent damage to the environment. But the drums themselves should also be protected from damage. Read the desiccant use case for chemical transport to find out how a manufacturer of chemical products with worldwide shipments effectively prevents moisture damage during container transport.

ThoMar OHG has concluded a framework agreement with the Central Procurement Office for the supply of dehumidifiers for vehicles and containers in the course of a tender by the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw).
