Cargo damage caused by the harmful effects of condensation during transport can often translate into lost revenue and jeopardize credibility for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of almost any product.  In growing numbers, however, transporters are learning that one of the most effective weapons to protect shipments is Container Dri^® II.

Container Dri II is a new generation of packaging protection for the reduction of dew point and the control of condensation.  Its design allows water vapor to easily enter through the flexible packaging film and into the interior or the bag where it is concentrated into a thick gel.  Water vapor can pass into the bag, but the gel cannot leak or escape. 

Container Dri II has the ability to protect shipments from start to finish, through all temperature ranges and relative humidity variances.  Container Dri II is completely safe, non-toxic, and may be disposed of with regular waste.

Container Dri II should be used if:

• A huge amount of air has to be dehumidified
• Air with high humidity near dew point conditions has to be dehumidified
• The packaging system is only semi-closed and the packaging experiences high levels of diffusion (e.g., a seagoing container, cardboard box)
• Primary goal of the application of a desiccant is to avoid dew point conditions and the formation of liquid water (container rain)
• The packaged good does not show deterioration at moderate to high humidity levels

Typical applications include:

• Automotive parts
• Food
• Powders
• Glass
• Wood
• Pet foods
• Paints & varnishes
• Coffee beans, bulk packaged grains, and milled products
• Canned goods
• Industrial machinery
