Container Dri®II & Desiccant Bags

Performance Packaging Business Unit

Süd-Chemie Performance Packaging manufactures a wide range of desiccant bags and absorbent bags, including its patented Container Dri® II humidity absorbers.

Desiccant bags are available in a variety of substrates, including DuPont Tyvek® and other materials that meet the stringent requirements of these and other industries. Süd-Chemie also offers String Sewn bags, which can be tied to larger pieces of equipment to protect them from moisture.  

Container Dri®II

Performance Packaging Business Unit

Container Dri II is designed for use inside shipping containers to control dew point and avoid the “container rain” that can damage products in transit.

Applications:

Shipment/Storage of Automotive, Bulk Packaged Grains/Milled Products, Food, Powders, Glass, Wood, Pet Food, Canned Goods, Perishable Goods & More 

What are they ?

Container Dri® II is a specially designed desiccant aimed at protecting cargo during shipping by absorbing moisture vapor from the air. In doing so, Container Dri II reduces dew point temperature (the temperature at which condensation begins to form, causing "container rain"), keeping cargo dry and safe. All Container Dri II product configurations contain a patented formulation of calcium chloride and a gelling agent to absorb and trap moisture.

Why use them ?

As goods move through intermodal systems, they are susceptible to water damage from the condensation of moisture due to high humidity levels and day-to-night temperature fluctuations. Container Dri II adds a new level of protection in containers by ensuring moisture reduction. Container Dri II absorbs up to three times its weight in moisture, and through an advanced formula, traps it as a thick gel. In addition, by using Container Dri II in refrigerated or non-refrigerated containers, cargo will remain fresh for an extended period of time in dryer atmospheric conditions. Container Dri II has the ability to protect shipments from start to finish, through all temperature ranges and relative humidity variances.

Desiccant Bags

Performance Packaging Business Unit

Süd-Chemie offers desiccant bags, including Desi Pak® bentonite clay bags, Sorb-It® silica gel bags and Tri-Sorb® molecular sieve bags, to protect products during shipping and storage.

Applications:

Electronic Components, Semiconductors, Machine Parts, Military Instruments & Armaments, Automotive Parts, Circuit Boards, Granulars (Flour, Sugar), Optical Devices & More

What are they ?

Desiccant bags absorb moisture, odors and chemicals to preserve and protect any number of products, including semiconductors, electronics, cartons of food or even large machinery.

Why use them ?

Whether in storage or transit, products in nearly every industry require protection from moisture. Rust, mildew, mold and an overall decrease in product efficacy are all common effects of moisture, costing millions in returned or unusable product each year. Desiccant bags help prevent damage by absorbing moisture in the air. Süd-Chemie’s desiccant bags are packaged in DuPont Tyvek®, GDT-II or high-strength polyester rayon materials, all of which are strong, durable and meet FDA specifications.
