What is the Dry Blanket?
The Dry Blanket is a desiccant blanket specifically developed to line the ceiling or top of containerized cargo. Its primary function is to intercept excess water vapor before it condenses and drips onto the merchandise. Furthermore, it acts as a physical barrier in the most extreme cases of droplet formation: thanks to its hydrophobic technology, the fabric allows water vapor in a gaseous state to pass through while completely blocking liquid water.
Main Application Scenarios
-
Agricultural commodities: Bulk or bagged cargo (green coffee, cocoa, soy, sugar, flours, peanuts, and other grains).
-
Carton-packaged cargo: Finished products that suffer from the softening and destabilization of secondary packaging.
-
Machinery and auto parts: Sensitive industrial equipment that cannot come into contact with condensed water.
-
High thermal shock routes: Journeys crossing different climatic zones (e.g., departing tropical Brazil in summer destined for Europe or North America in winter).
Operational Advantages: Thanks to its reduced thickness, the blanket offers application flexibility: it can be positioned directly over the cargo or suspended by straps from the container ceiling. The product operates continuously throughout the maritime journey, irreversibly retaining moisture and preventing any water contact with the transported items.
Whether transporting agricultural commodities in large volumes, delicate electronics, or boxed cargo that cannot tolerate deformation, using the Dry Blanket desiccant blanket is the essential investment to shield your supply chain against moisture and the dreaded container rain.
Don't let thermal variations and weather compromise your brand's reputation at its final destination.
