TOPDRY Container Desiccant For Grain Shipping against spoilage deteriorate

Shipping in container is an economical and safe way of shipping most types of cargo. But putting grain product into a enclosed steel box also entail a constant risk of moisture damage for foodstuffs on every voyage.

During the ocean transport, the big temperature changes between day and night on the sea make the high-temperature air in the day full of water saturate because of the falling temperature at night. As a result, the grain product usually experience the marine high-temperature climate and comparatively big changes of temperature between day and night which often vary from 0 centigrade to 8 centigrade, with the humidity being able to reach 98%. This phenomenon is called condensation. The amount of water in the air is 30.4g/m3, when the temperature is 30 centigrade. But when temperature drops from 30 centigrade to 10 centigrade, the amount of water vapor will drop to 15.4g/m3, while the other steam will condense to water. This is the usually called rain in the container, resulting fungus, mould and mildew occur, which has a bad influence on the grain and foodstuffs. Drops of water from the contents of the container, resulting foodstuffs deteriorate and become spoilage.

Powerful moisture absorption capacity

TOPDRY desiccant’s active ingredients are a combination of calcium chloride and food grade binding agent, with a powerful water absorption capacity. TOPDRY can absorb on an average 300% of its own weight in moisture. What’s more, once TOPDRY desiccant absorb moisture vapour that is present in the air will turn to tick gel and not escape. Also the condition of bags were in a good dry condition completely free from any sort of dampness and wetness as TOPDRY desiccant’s interior of the bag and not escape.

Best protection against shipping humidity problems

We can assure you that TOPDRY desiccant will be the best solution for all your humidity concerns ever.

                                   

TOPDRY Container Desiccant Conquer Rotten Wood

During ocean transport, passing through different climate zones, and day to night temperature fluctuation, when air warms up, the water vapour content increase which produces condensation when the air cools down again. The central fact is that warm air is cooled, it becomes more humid, and if it is cooled enough, some of the moisture may rain out and condense directly on the wood product.

Wood products destroyed by damage moisture

Drops of water from the contents of the container, resulting wood become warped. Wood products are especially susceptible to moisture damage, especially salt water. Salt water affects the density of wood, changing characteristics, like color, texture and grains, as well as it stability. It also dries out wood, causing wood to warp.

Switch silica gel desiccant to TOPDRY calcium chloride desiccant

Before try TOPDRY desiccant, one of our clients use silica gel desiccant, but this method proved to be inadequate, because silica gel desiccant is not absorb much water vapor and it stopped working entirely after 14 days. After then, they switch to TOPDRY container desiccant H1000, moisture problems have now been eliminated entirely.

Protect shipments from start to finish

TOPDRY container desiccant H1000 could offer moisture protection for up to 60-90 days during transport. It absorbs moisture through its flexible microporous packaging film. Once inside the interior of the bag, water vapour id concentrated into a thick gel, trapping it within the bag. TOPDRY desiccant absorbs up to three times its weight in water, make sure not one single piece of wood has been damage by moisture.

TOPDRY desiccant usage instruction

*Usage Requirements.

The recommended usage for TOPDRY container desiccant H1000 is 6 to 8 pieces for a standard 20 foot shipping container, and 10 to 12 pieces for a standard 40 foot shipping container. Easily hang the H1000 with rotatable hook in the corrugation of the container panel.

Since travel time, weather conditions, temperature variations and final destination, shipping cargo type may significantly affect the levels of humidity encountered during the voyage, please consult us for more information.

*Usage Instruction:

1. Check if there is damage with the container, for example, if there is hole or crack at the sides, top or bottom of container.

2. Check container floor moisture contain (MC), a high MC in excess of 20% can increase risk of moisture damage. If the nature of containers can’t be changed, then it is necessary to increase the quantity of desiccant based in the amount of water contain in container to ensure the safety of goods.

3. Seal all the ventilating holes.

4. Take out the TOPDRY desiccant from the carton before its expiry date.

5. Cut apart the exterior PE bag and take out of desiccant.

6. Install desiccant evenly on the lashing ring at the top of container.

7. Loading container ASAP.

8. Close the doors immediately.

Remark:

*For maximum benefit from TOPDRY moisture protection, ensure that the desiccants won’t be crushed by the cargo, allow 4cm space between the cargo and desiccant.

*One unit of desiccant must be installed closely to the container door.

*Please put the desiccant on the top of cargo if it is packed with soft package.

TOPDRY Container Desiccant For Garments Against Mildew

The humidity in a container will go up and down throughout the voyage, as a result of changing temperature. If the temperature changes rapidly enough there are sure to be moisture risk, even if the container may be fairly dry. The central fact is that warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. That means that if warm air is cooled, it become more humid. And if it is cooled enough, some of the moisture may rain out and condense.

Such as container rain drip down onto the garments and cause damage, resulting peeling label, changing its color and generally looking unattractive. At other times it condenses directly on the polybag, say on the inside of the clothes package wrap, which is usually even more damaging. The salt water will change fabric’s texture and stability become useless.

Even without any condensation, elevated humidity over a period of time is sufficient to cause damage. Many fabrics will mildew or discolor at a rather modest level of humidity of 60%. At higher levels of humidity, moulds will grow, labels will peel.

TOPDRY desiccant prevent condensation damage by reducing relative humidity

TOPDRY desiccant’s active ingredients are a combination of calcium chloride and binding agent. With a high water absorption capacity, TOPDRY desiccant absorb water vapour that is present in the air will turn to thick gel and will not leak or escape. By absorbing moisture in the surrounding air, the condensation damage can be avoided by TOPDRY container desiccant, which prevent the relative humidity inside the container from rising above 60% during transport and storage.

Superior package material

Each piece of TOPDRY desiccant is packed with double package protection, inner bag is composite membrane (composite membrane’s tight pore structure keeps even the smallest of particulate through the package, but the water vapour can through it freely). Outer package is non-woven to protect package inside and outside. What’s more, TOPDRY container desiccant are packed with PE bag individually.

TOPDRY Container Desiccant for Metals Against Rust

How humid the air is depends on its Relative Humidity (RH). The Relative Humidity (RH) is a percentage measure of how much moisture the air holds as compared to the maximum amount of moisture air at that temperature can hold. Entirely dry air has RH 0%. Maximally humid air has an RH of 100%, or any excess moisture will rain out.

Even without any condensation, elevated humidity over a period of time is sufficient to cause damage. Many metals will corrode or discolor at a rather modest level of humidity of 60% to 70%. At higher levels of humidity, 80% to 90%, moulds will grow, metal rusts and paint will flak.

TOPDRY desiccant control the dew point temperature

TOPDRY container desiccant helps keep the dew point temperature below the actual temperature, even when the actual temperature drops within the shipping container due to day to night temperature fluctuations. TOPDRY desiccant continues to reduce the relative humidity down to 40%, which decrease the dew point temperature even further

Powerful moisture absorption capacity

At 90%RH, 25C, the absorption capacity of TOPDRY container desiccant is 300% of its own weight. TOPDRY desiccant’s innovative design allows water vapor to easily enter through the flexible package film and into the interior of the bag, where it is transformed into a thick gel and will not leak or escape, has the ability to protect shipment from start to finish through all temperature range and humidity variances.

Easy to use

TOPDRY container desiccant designed with 360 rotatable hook, configured in a continuous strip of 4*250gram desiccant bag, it can hang within the corrugated panels of container wall and only occupy minimal container space.

Completely safe

TOPDRY desiccants are completely safe, non-toxic, can be disposed as regular waste when removed from shipping container or cargo box.

TOPDRY Container Desiccant for Package Materials Against Moisture Damage

A container is a closed system with its own unique “climate system” inside. It differs from the warehouse in that the variation in temperature is much greater. It is not unusual to have containers where temperatures range from freezing to over 50 Celsius (122 Fahrenheit) during the course of a single voyage.

The central fact is that warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. That means that if warm air is cooled, it becomes more humid. And if it is cooled enough, some of the moisture may rain out and condense. That is exactly the same phenomenon that cause dew in grass or fog on a cool day.

That container rain will drip down on the package materials and cause damage. Mould will grow, labels will peel and corrugated boxes will start to soften. At other times, the condensation happens on the inside of package, like inside the pallet shrink wrap film.

High moisture absorption with not liquid water

TOPDRY container desiccant is based on the proven ability of calcium chloride to aggressively remove moisture from the air. The absorbed water is bound into a gel so no liquid water is formed. And the special system of double packing, all of these will prevent leakage.

Easy to use.

The TOPDRY container desiccant is easy to use and designed to occupy minimal container space with full functionality. It can hang within he corrugated recess of container side panels or horizontally above the cargo.
