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.
