Military and Defense- Desiccant bags to Preserve Vehicle And Equipment Components, Weapon Preservation And Ammunition Storage
It is of top priority and importance to safeguard the various products, equipment, and components of the military and defense industry, as their efficiency and usage are much needed across borders and in various different weather conditions and harsh environments. Desiccant packs are used in the military and defense industry for packaging, storage, and transportation during cargo or shipping. Cargo Dry Pak Protect your defense equipment against moisture using USFDA & MIL-D-3464 approved desiccants dehydrating agent that prevents corrosion and mildew
Desiccant bags can preserve the texture, quality, and form of different products and components, absorb high amounts of moisture from the surrounding air before it impacts the quality, and prevent corrosion and mildew by absorbing moisture from the air of an enclosed space like cargo and shipping containers, and are suitable for ocean, truck, rail, and air shipping containers.
Bentonite clay and Silica gel are two of the most widely used and well-known desiccants that are used for the military and defense storage and are compliant with all the necessary regulations and standards. Since this industry is heavily guarded by many compliances and regulations, it is essential to choose a desiccant material that has high absorbent properties, is sustainable, and comes in eco-friendly packaging.
The Military and Defense industry relies on cargo desiccant packs to safeguard a wide range of equipment, weapons, and supplies from the damaging effects of moisture during packaging, storage, and transportation. Cargo desiccant packs are widely used in the military and defense industry for packaging, storage, and transportation of various equipment and supplies as they can efficiently absorb up to 300% of their weight in moisture and prevent the damaging effects of condensation.
Applications of cargo desiccants in the military and defense industry
Preserve vehicle and equipment components
Desiccant packs are designed for use in the packaging and storage of military vehicles and heavy equipment as military vehicles and equipment are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as fog, condensation, heat, dust, contamination, and mold growth. These conditions can cause corrosion of metal parts and electrical components, as well as sensitive instrumentation. For example, military applications often require the use of optical equipment such as scopes and binoculars, as well as night-vision equipment. To ensure optimal performance of these precision instruments, Cargo Dry Pak protects them from fogging and condensation.
Preserve medical supplies and food rations
Desiccant packs are used in the Military and Defense industry to transport medical supplies and equipment. Medical supplies and equipment must be kept sterile, potent, and functional. The use of desiccant packs helps maintain a dry environment to prevent mold and bacteria from growing on medical supplies. Desiccant packs can also be used in military food rations. They help extend the shelf life of food by controlling moisture levels in the food during long periods of packaging, storage, and transit. This is also important for keeping food safe to consume, especially during extended military operations.
Weapon preservation and ammunition storage
Excess moisture levels and frequent changes in humidity are the main causes of corrosion in firearms and ammunition. When exposed to moisture, firearms and ammunition can rust and deteriorate. The use of container desiccant strips help maintain a dry environment inside the packaging, storage and transportation of these sensitive materials. This helps to prevent rust and deterioration of weapon parts during storage and transport. On the other hand, ammunition is prone to deterioration due to moisture, especially ammunition that has been stored for a long time as excess moisture can detriorate their texture, functionality, and effectiveness. Cargo desiccant packs prevent the accumulation of moisture within ammunition containers by absorbing large amounts of moisture and humidity from the surrounding air. This helps to maintain the reliability and performance of the military and defense components and equipment.
Maintain integrity and safety of electronic equipment
Electronic equipment is an essential part of military operations, and excess moisture can greatly damage electronic devices and sensitive components, leading to various damages such as short circuits and failure. Desiccant packs maintain a low humidity environment, protecting electronic equipment and communication systems from breakdowns, malfunctions, and failure of sensitive components and devices. Desiccants soak up moisture, odors, and chemicals. This helps protect products from corrosion and spoilage. By absorbing moisture, desiccation aids in the prevention of rust, mold, and mildew, as rusting and mildew can cause severe damage to products.
For important and high value products and components in the military and defense industry, you need to use high-quality USFDA & MIL-D-3464 approved Desiccant Pak desiccants to safeguard their effectiveness and longevity during long periods of packaging, storage, and transit.
