Our customer had loaded kiln-dried lumber with 8–12% residual moisture. After four weeks, the value upon arrival was up to 45% wood moisture due to the heavily fluctuating humidity during transport. The reason: wood strives for equilibrium moisture content and adapts its water content to the ambient climate. The outer beams in the transport racks in particular had absorbed significant moisture.
To avoid damage favored by moisture—such as the development of wood-destroying fungi—and resulting complaints, the SeaDry high-performance desiccant, specifically developed for container use and manufactured by ThoMar in Germany, is ideal. It reliably protects solid wood and wood-based materials during transport and storage.
Several wood-processing companies are already successfully using SeaDry in their logistics processes. In the case described, the humidity also remained within a non-critical range thanks to the use of SeaDry. The available standard shapes, sizes, and mounting options can be found in the SeaDry shop category. With our wide range of desiccants, additional process steps and applications can also be reliably covered.
