Ambient Humidity vs. Cargo Humidity A common mistake in cargo protection is thinking that a single method solves all problems. In practice, humidity inside a container comes from two distinct sources:
-
The container's internal air: circulates and condenses on the ceiling and walls.
-
The merchandise/packaging itself: damp wooden pallets, bags, and boxes gradually release vapor.
The Combined Protection Strategy Working with multiple solutions creates a layered protection barrier:
-
Suspended Desiccant Sachets: reduce the relative humidity of the air inside the container.
-
Dry Blanket Top Blanket: acts in the most critical scenarios, in case droplets manage to form on the ceiling. Thanks to its hydrophobic technology, the blanket retains water and allows the internal polymer to absorb it definitively, neutralizing the risk of damage to the cargo.
Combining different humidity control technologies reduces the risk of damage, claim costs, and customs inspection rework to zero.
It is worth noting that the choice and combination of these technologies depend on the type of cargo you will transport and the duration this material will remain exposed to weather conditions.
