Absorbag – container desiccant
The Absorbag is a container desiccant used to protect cargo from moist during shipping and storage. Moisture control from Absortech is a cost efficient way of ensuring that your goods are kept dry, both during transit and in storage.
How the Absorbag works
The Absorbag is activated once it is removed from its transparent protective PE bag. The Absorbag will then immediately start to absorb moisture from the surrounding air. The upper portion of the Absorbag contains the calcium chloride (1).
As the desiccant material absorbs moisture it will gradually dissolves into brine. This will be captured in the lower blue collector (2). Once captured, the moisture will not re-evaporate into the air.
Performance
The absorption characteristics of calcium chloride provide Absorpole with a superior absorption capacity, even at low humidity levels, and the ability to effectively protect cargo throughout the entire voyage.
Absorbag container desiccants are used for:
- Agricultural products
- Textiles and leather
- Wood and paper products
- Furniture
- Plastics, glass and metals
- Electronics and machinery
- Automotive parts
- Canned goods
Units needed
20” container: 4 – 8 bags
40” container: 6 –12 bags
Your local Absortech representative will help you to estimate the right installation for your shipment as it depends on the length of the voyage, the range of temperatures encountered and the type of cargo protected from moisture.
