300% Moisture Absorbing Container Desiccant
Absorb King's desiccant is a substance used to reduce moisture. It is made of chemicals such as silica or calcium chloride, and has the ability to absorb moisture and remove humidity from the air.
Advantages of using 300% Moisture Absorbing Container Desiccant
One question we are often asked is what are the advantages of our 300% Moisture Absorbing Container Desiccant (Calcium Chloride Desiccant) compared to silica gel. In short, 300% Moisture Absorbing Container Desiccant has a higher absorption capacity.
Silica gel can usually absorb about 25% of its weight in water. On the other hand, our 300% Moisture Absorbing Container Desiccant desiccant can absorb about 300% of its own weight. This means that the moisture absorption effect of 300% Moisture Absorbing Container Desiccant is more than 10 times higher than that of silica gel.
The higher absorption rate of 300% Moisture Absorbent Container Desiccant means that you need less 300% Moisture Absorbent Container Desiccant to achieve the same results compared to silica gel. Therefore, for packing shipping containers, this will also reduce installation and removal time and reduce handling requirements.
On the other hand, 300% Moisture Absorbent Container Desiccant is a natural desiccant that contains calcium chloride, a compound that occurs in nature.
Features of Montmorillonite Container Desiccant and Clay Container Transportation Desiccant
They offer the following advantages over silica gel desiccant:
More environmentally friendly: Made from natural bentonite, the production process is energy-efficient and does not require water or chemicals. This process is more sustainable than energy-intensive synthetic silica production, which requires chemical raw materials and large amounts of fresh water, while also generating pollutants, wastewater and emissions.
Excellent performance and ease of handling: Clay Container Transportation Desiccant can reduce humidity to lower levels faster than silica gel in most packaging; secondly, it is easier to handle, reducing the risk of the desiccant reaching saturation before the product is packaged; thirdly, the quality of silica gel varies, and many common silica gels do not have the ability to absorb moisture.
Good regulatory compliance: Clay Container Transportation Desiccant is natural, does not contain dimethyl fumarate (DMF), and is exempt from EU REACH registration and meets other international regulatory requirements. Silica gel needs to be registered under EU REACH and is more hazardous because it has been detected to contain dimethyl fumarate (DMF) (a substance banned in Europe) and cobalt chloride (a possible carcinogen).
Clay Container Transportation Desiccant has the following advantages over calcium chloride desiccant:
No leakage: Our desiccant will always stay dry even when fully saturated with water, so you don't have to worry about leaks. However, calcium chloride will turn into liquid after absorbing water, which may cause leakage and damage to goods.
Safe for metal: Clay Container Transportation Desiccant is non-corrosive and can be safely used on metals. Calcium chloride desiccant is highly corrosive and may cause dangerous corrosion to metals when in contact with metals.
Sustainability and safety: Clay Container Transportation Desiccant is made from natural bentonite from sustainable mines. Clay Container Transportation Desiccant is very environmentally friendly and non-toxic. Unlike other desiccants, Clay Container Transportation Desiccant has no risk of leaking, and the premium clay in it does not change its size, shape or texture even when fully saturated. It protects metal components from the risk of corrosion, unlike highly aggressive calcium chloride desiccant.
Affordable: Compared with other common desiccants, Clay Container Transportation Desiccant desiccant uses less packaging materials, allowing you to achieve moisture absorption at a lower cost. It can be used alone with anti-mold paper to obtain a comprehensive anti-mold and moisture-proof solution.
Smart packaging choice: Because Clay Container Transportation Desiccant can maintain consistently excellent moisture absorption performance in a variety of humidity conditions, it absorbs moisture in the package much faster than calcium chloride, thereby reducing the risk of mold, mildew and other moisture problems. Calcium chloride can only absorb moisture quickly in a sustained high humidity environment, which makes it an effective container desiccant, but a poor choice for packaged goods.
Silica gel container desiccant
Our high-quality silica gel can achieve a moisture absorption rate of 32%+, and we have made a test report. Our silica gel uses new materials and never uses secondary silica gel, so you can be sure that you have the highest moisture absorption effect of silica gel after opening. It has a good performance in absorption rate, between calcium chloride and montmorillonite, and is the choice that most people will consider for medium and long-distance transportation.
Silica gel container desiccant is applicable to a wide range of industries and has a high cost-effectiveness.
