How using moisture absorbers for containers prevents expensive damage
Goods transported in containers by ship or freight train frequently undergo huge fluctuations in temperature. These fluctuations often lead to large amounts of moisture forming within the freight container. Condensation also occurs when goods are stored in containers, due to the difference in day and night temperatures. Moisture absorbers for containers control moisture levels and protect against moisture damage. Specially produced hygroscopic, or water-attracting materials wrapped in secure water vapour-permeable packaging can be placed on the container walls or directly on the cargo itself. It’s easy and fast to hang our container moisture absorbers from container eyelets or they can be glued onto the outer packaging of the goods.

- certified to DIN 55473
- Meets the industrial stamdards of MIL-D-3464E
- Contains unfired clay
- Dry clay absorbs humidity from ambient air
- Absorbs 25-30% of its own weight in moisture (approx. 280ml of water vapour per kg)
- Dehumidifies large rooms (e.g. storerooms)
- Consists of fired clay granulate and salt
- The salt attracts humidity from ambient air and the clay granulate absorbs it
- Absorbs 60% of its own weight in moisture (approx. 600ml of water vapour per kg)
- Modern high-performance desiccant for container transportation
- Salt-starch dehumidifier
- Salt attracts humidity, liquid moisture is then bound by the starch (gel bond)
- Absorbs over 200% of its own weight in water vapour (approx. 2015ml per kg)
Which container desiccant for which application?
To ascertain which desiccant is right for your needs, you would require a needs analysis to be undertaken. We can do this for you to analyse your situation and advise you which container desiccant you need, as well as the amount required and how to place it optimally in the container.
SeaDry Hook 600g / 1200g
SeaDry Hook moisture absorbers come with integrated hooks for easy attachment to container eyelets. Suspending these desiccants against the container walls ensures they’re optimally placed to absorb any internal humidity. They also have adhesive strips on the sheathing materials which allow their attachment to other locations if required.

SeaDry Strip 750g ADH
A moisture absorber consisting of a multi-layer film and a HDPE (high-density polyethylene) fleece. Its adhesive strip makes it especially suitable for cramped spaces or where there’s nowhere to hang desiccant (e.g. no tie-down eyelets), for example, in refrigerated containers. SeaDry Strips have an adhesive strip on the back and can be attached to the goods or to the container wall.
