Whether cars are shipped to their destination by container or on a RoRo ship, moisture damage caused by condensation is likely to lead to complaints from the recipient. Read here, how a car manufacturer with worldwide shipping protects its vehicles during the weeks-long transport overseas by container from musty smells and corrosion.

Our SeaDry Pole H 1200 g is the gold standard when it comes to effective moisture protection in highly stowed containers. Today, we are pleased to introduce a further improved version that will allow you to secure your logistics projects against moisture in an even more user-friendly way.

53 percent of all online orders are placed with Amazon (own-account and marketplaces)*. A total of one in six parcels in Germany is sent back to the respective e-commerce retailer**. A large business segment. Especially for Marketplace retailers who lack the necessary capacities for their own returns management, it is a common model to hand over the returns to resellers. Before they can sell the goods themselves, they have to be stored temporarily - e.g. in a freight container. To protect the goods from damage due to high humidity, a ThoMar customer uses SeaDry container desiccants. The success of this measure is confirmed by a data logger that continuously records the climate in the container. If the desiccants are replaced in good time after saturation, the humidity remains within a non-critical range.

Do you also use containers for storage, temporarily or permanently? Get in touch with us. Our advisors will recommend the right SeaDry variant for you and have further advice for optimally securing your goods.

SeaDry container desiccants can, when used correctly, protect your valuable goods from moisture damage during transport and storage. For an optimal result, various influencing factors must be taken into account. The following article provides an overview of the factors that affect the selection of the appropriate product variant and the calculation of the required desiccant quantity.

SeaDry offers effective long-term protection against moisture, whether for container transports by ship, goods train and truck or also when using containers as (temporary) storage. To ensure the high absorption capacity and reliable moisture absorption of all SeaDry variants, we use optimally coordinated ingredients. In particular, the salt (calcium chloride) must be of high quality and is used in the form of powder whose grain size corresponds to that of the starch also used. This allows the two substances to mix evenly in the desiccant bags. The salt then attracts the moisture from the air in the container, which is safely bound into gel by the starch and is not liquid at any time. SeaDry is thus superior to other container desiccants, which contain cheaper salt in the form of significantly coarser prills (instead of powder).
