Desiccants – Strong Moisture Protection for Global Transport
Our calcium chloride desiccants provide powerful and reliable moisture control for all types of goods during storage, container shipping and long-distance transport. Engineered to absorb up to 300 % of their own weight in moisture, they protect cargo from condensation, mold, corrosion and “container rain” – one of the most common causes of transport damage worldwide.
Whether you ship sensitive products, hygroscopic materials or genereal freight, our desiccants help maintain dry and safe conditions thoughout the entire logistics chain.
Why Calcium Chloride Desiccants?
Calcium chloride is the mosteffective desiccant technology for container shipping:
- Absorption up to 10 x higher than traditional clay or silica gel
- Fast activation even at low humidity
- Highly effective against condensation (”container rain”)
- Stable performance in varying temperatures
- Long-lasting protection for multi-week sea transport
- Ideal for ALL types of goods – from electronics to timber
With these advantages, calcium chloride desiccants are the preferred solution for professional export operations.

FAQ – Calcium Chloride Desiccants
Check out our answers to the questions of our Customers.
What goods can be protected with calcium chloride desiccants?
All types — from electronics to food ingredients, timber, textiles, machinery, metals and general cargo.
Do the desiccants prevent container rain?
Yes. They significantly reduce condensation formation and protect cargo from dripping water.
Are the desiccants leak-proof?
Yes. The absorbed moisture turns into a gel, preventing any liquid leakage.
How long do they work?
Several weeks up to months, depending on temperature and humidity levels.
Can desiccants be used together with Safety Sheets?
Yes — Safety Sheets protect from above, desiccants control moisture in the air.
Together they offer optimal protection.
Are custom labels or packaging possible?
Yes, private labeling and custom packaging formats are available.
