Dry Box Humidity Absorbent



Humidity has always become a number one enemy of exporters who produce merchandise, which is very sensitive to moisture.Based on that experience, Dry Box was produced to solve their problem. It is a very powerful humidity absorbent ever available in the market.

We started research in 1998 and launched Dry Box for the first time in August 2000. So far Dry Box has been developed six times to make it perfect.

Furniture & Wood Products

Wood products such as furniture, handicraft from wood, wooden pallet, banana leaf, and sea grass, bamboo are very sensitive to humidity. Moisture content in wood products is very high. This moisture content of a product will be instantly increased after it is taken out from the oven, although in fact moisture content has been decreased below 15%. Inside the container, during daytime, the temperature is very high; it makes the moisture from the wood to vaporize. The air inside the container will become extremely humid. This will lead to the growth of fungi, molds, and crack.

Paper Products

Paper products such as paper, tissue paper, carton, picture album, etc are good commodities to export but the moisture content is high. Humidity will make paper products to have spots and wrinkles, and eventually to shrink.

Garment, Textile and Yarn

Because textile and its packaging have been given paper to absorb humidity, garment exporters have relatively fewer problems compared to other products. However, the capability of paper to absorb humidity is very limited because the paper itself contains moisture. Shirts after being sewn are usually ironed and dried before being shipped. During the drying process those clothes, however, may not be completely dry enough. As a result of this, inside the container where the air is very humid, fungi will grow and give black spots to the clothes. Normally the importer cannot resale these clothes.

YARN
In damp weather (rain, snow), the cargo must be protected from moisture, since yarns are strongly hygroscopic and readily absorb moisture. No hooks of any kind should be used, since they may very easily cause damage.



Yarns are strongly hygroscopic (hygroscopicity), i.e. moisture (seawater, rain, condensation water) may cause mustiness, mildew stains and mold growth. Cargo handlers must not contaminate the goods (drinking water, urine).Paper yarns rapidly lose strength when stored under damp conditions and are very prone to mold.
