Silica gel and container desiccants serve as effective tools in moisture control, integral to protecting goods from damage. Silica gel is small, clear beads often found in everyday products, have a remarkable ability to absorb up to 40% of its weight in water due to its SiO2 composition and microscopic porous design. However, its efficacy is constrained when temperatures rise above 40 degrees Celsius.

Container Desiccants offer a robust defence against moisture across a broad temperature spectrum, drawing on the high absorbing power of calcium chloride. These desiccants can absorb over 70% of their weight, preventing moisture-related disasters like container rain, rust, and mould, which can incur significant losses. Container Desiccants are comprised of non-toxic montmorillonite clay and calcium chloride which enables the disposal of these materials with regular waste. Their high storage capacity and low cost make them an excellent choice in the prevention of damp-induced damage to electronics, textiles, wood, and in the preservation of perishables such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.
