Especially on long journeys, an effective yet uncomplicated solution is required. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution: the ThoMar checklist for effective moisture protection for household goods<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below are some recommendations to ensure that the start in your dream destination is not spoiled by mould, rust, mildew stains and musty odours when you open the container.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A combination of a high-performance desiccant (here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomar.de\/en\/desiccant-shop\/container-desiccants\/\">SeaDry based on salt and starch<\/a>) \u2013 for use in the container \u2013 and a so-called inbox desiccant (here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomar.de\/en\/desiccant-shop\/din-55473-desiccant-bags\/\">CertiDry in accordance with DIN 55473<\/a> \/ contains clay granules) \u2013 for use inside the moving boxes \u2013 offers the best protection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use packing materials such as moving boxes in as dry a condition as possible. Paper \/ cardboard absorbs moisture depending on the ambient climate; if necessary, dry beforehand in the boiler room. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Line moving boxes, for example, with sturdy plastic film bags \/ refuse sacks. Place packed goods inside together with CertiDry desiccant according to DIN 55473 (Type A, 4 DU or 8 DU, 1-2 bags per box). Close bags (first press out the air) and seal the moving boxes. Tape up the hand holes to prevent further, possibly moist air from entering.    <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Before loading, equip the container with SeaDry container desiccant; for this application, the <a href=\"\/?product_cat=seadry-pole-h-container-trockenmittel-horizontal\">SeaDry Pole H 1.2 kg<\/a> variant is particularly suitable. Simply hang the desiccant along the lashing eyes on the long sides of the shipping container (10 pieces per 20-foot container \/ 20 pieces per 40-foot container). Overseas transports by private individuals often take three months or longer. With this amount of SeaDry, the household goods remain reliably protected until arrival.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take an additional box of SeaDry Pole H with you in the shipping container. After arrival, check the saturation level of the hanging desiccants (check by weighing: at a weight of approx. 3.6 kg, a SeaDry Pole H is saturated). If the house or apartment is not yet ready for occupancy on arrival and the load has to remain in the shipping container for longer, use additional SeaDry desiccants if necessary.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All desiccants can be disposed of in residual waste after the move is complete.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SeaDry desiccants for containers and CertiDry desiccants in accordance with DIN 55473 are available in the ThoMar webshop or on Amazon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emigrating to New Zealand, Thailand, Brazil or the Caribbean?
