Chemical Storage- Premium Quality Container Desiccants To Prevent Chemical Degradation, Caking And Clumping
In the chemical storage industry, particularly during cargo shipping, it is essential to maintain optimum storage conditions, as excess or frequently changing moisture levels and humidity can lead to alterations and other damage to the chemical compositions of various products. Cargo desiccant packs are used in the chemical storage industry during cargo or shipping to prevent moisture-related damage to goods. These desiccant packs help maintain a dry environment by absorbing moisture from the air, preventing fungus growth, corrosion, and other forms of damage, and are suitable for ocean, truck, rail, and air shipping containers.
Desiccants are made of highly porous materials such as Silica gel, molecular sieves, and carbon, that can absorb up to 300% of their weight in moisture, keeping the surrounding air in the cargo dry and clean. They are also non-toxic and inert in nature, meaning they won't react with the stored chemical substances and cause any harmful alterations or spoilage. It is essential to use good quality desiccant materials when storing large quantities of chemical substances and compounds, as they need to be safeguarded against many detrimental factors such as moisture, dust, heat, water, vapor, humidity, and contamination. x
You can choose from a variety of materials and pack sizes of Cargo Dry Pak according to your storage requirements, as they are an affordable and sustainable packaging solution and can be used to prevent moisture related damage in chemical storage for longer durations of time during packaging, storage, and transportation.
Key applications of cargo desiccants in chemical storage
Prevent chemical degradation and alteration
When dealing with chemical substances and products, it is essential to make sure that the desiccant you are using during storage is non-toxic and inert in nature, so that it does not cause any unnecessary alterations, chemical reactions, and moisture related damage to the chemical composition and product quality. Moisture can react with certain chemicals, causing them to break down and lose their potency or effectiveness, thus it is essential to use good quality desiccants for your cargo.
Preventing caking and clumping
Many chemical substances are prone to changes in their texture, structure, and stability and lead to caking and clumping of the products due to the presence of high levels of moisture and humidity. Some chemicals absorb moisture and solidify, making them difficult to handle and use. By using Sorbipak container desiccants during chemical storage, they can absorb excess moisture from the surrounding air and keep it clean and dry.
Mold, mildew, and fungus growth prevention
When there are excess levels of moisture present inside the cargo and shipping containers, there is a high chance of the growth of microorganisms leading to spoilage and alterations of chemical substances and products, due to the formation of mold, mildew, and fungus. This can affect the stability and the effectiveness of the chemical products, thus using desiccant container bags can help solve moisture related problems effectively.
Long distance logistics and transportation
Cargo desiccant packs help keep your chemical products in the cargo dry and stable during long haul shipping. During long haul shipping, cargo can be exposed to different weather and environmental conditions. Desiccants such as silica gel and molecular sieves work best in intermodal shipping, where shipping containers can be shipped by sea, land or air, where cargo may experience temperature and humidity variations.
Preserve quality and stability
Many chemicals are moisture-sensitive, meaning that changes in moisture levels can alter their physical and chemical characteristics. Desiccants aid in maintaining the quality of chemicals during transportation. Desiccant packs are especially useful for moisture-sensitive chemicals such as pharmaceuticals, electronic parts, and some laboratory reagents. Even small amounts of moisture can cause significant damage to moisture-sensitive chemicals, so it’s important to maintain a dry environment during storage and transportation.
For chemical storage ensure to use of premium desiccant materials and container desiccant strips that are packaged in sustainable packaging and are affordable for long distance shipping and handling. Choose Desiccant Pak cargo desiccant that is best suitable for your chemical storage does not react or alter your product and enhances its shelf life and efficiency during usage.
