And Supplies- Protect Electrical Components From Rust And Corrosion And Enhance Shelf Life With Cargo Desiccants

In the automotive parts and supplies industry, it is essential to maintain optimum conditions to help protect high end automotive parts, machinery parts, auto supplies, and other metal products safely to their destination in their best form. In such situations, excess or changing moisture and humidity levels during long durations of transportation, packaging, and storage can lead to damage to these high quality automotive parts and supplies.

During long durations of transit, such products are susceptible to varying weather conditions across sea borders, and thus excess moisture levels can lead to damage such as rust, corrosion, growth of mold and mildew, and other structural and functional damage.

Desiccant packs are widely used in the automotive parts and supplies industry during cargo or shipping to control moisture and prevent corrosion. These packs are available in various types, such as silica gel and clay, and in different sizes suitable for different applications. They are effective in preventing mildew, corrosion, and other damage to metal components, including automotive parts, and can absorb over 300% of its weight.

The desiccant packs are placed inside shipping and storage containers to absorb water and reduce the amount of moisture present in the air, thus protecting the automotive parts from humidity during transportation. The use of Cargo Dry Pak is recommended within a closed/sealed moisture barrier or a rigid/sealed container to ensure their effectiveness.

There are several types of desiccant packs available for use in the automotive parts and supplies industry. The most common types of desiccants are non-toxic clay and Silica gel desiccants. Desiccant packs are also available in different sizes, thus you can customize the pack size according to your cargo or shipping container size, and are suitable for ocean, truck, rail, and air shipping containers.

Some desiccant packs are formulated to desiccate inside shipping and storage containers, which works to reduce the threat of container rain. Other types of desiccants include bentonite clay and molecular sieve, which are available in different packaging materials, such as Tyvek or other sustainable materials.

Applications of cargo desiccants in automotive parts and supplies

Protecting electrical components

Electrical components are particularly sensitive to moisture damage. Container desiccants can help prevent short circuits and other electrical problems by keeping the surrounding air in the container or the cargo dry.

Preventing rust/corrosion

Moisture can cause metal parts to rust and corrode, which can lead to failure or make them unfit for use. Desiccant packs absorb moisture from the air, creating a dry environment that helps to prevent corrosion and enhance the shelf life of the automotive parts and supplies efficiently.

Enhance and protect the paint quality

Automotive parts often have painted surfaces that can be affected by humidity or excess moisture inside their packaging or storage. Desiccant container strips help protect paint finishes from water spots and blisters that are often caused by excess or continuous moisture exposure, degrading their shelf life and quality. This is important to retain their finishing and paint quality.

Protecting rubber, plastic, and other components

You can use Desiccant Pak products to efficiently safeguard precious, high functioning automotive parts and supplies from damage due to varying weather and humidity conditions during long durations of transit and storage. Important and functioning auto parts like rubber seals, gaskets, and various plastic parts can degrade when exposed to moisture. Desiccant packs preserve the integrity of these components during shipping, reducing the likelihood of deterioration or functional damage.

Use Desiccant Pak products to preserve and protect the efficiency, function, and shelf life of automotive parts and supplies, as they are made of highly porous desiccant materials that can efficiently absorb large amounts of moisture and humidity from surrounding air during long transits of cargo and shipping.
