Caring for Trans-Ocean Shipments

Are you concerned about product damage when shipping via container?

Desiccants for Intermodal Transport

IMPAK offers desiccant products that afford protection against the damaging effects of moisture during intermodal transport. Available in five sizes, these desiccant bags are completely environmentally safe and suitable for most shipment applications.

A common danger in cargo transport is "container rain", or "cargo sweat". This occurs when the temperature inside the container reaches the dew point and condensation begins to form. By aggressively removing moisture from ambient air, our desiccant products lower the dew point to prevent the formation of condensation, a system highly effective in preventing mildew, corrosion, and other damage to agricultural products, bulk foods, powders, wood products, glass, machinery, and metal components.

Advantages:
  • Inhibits the formation of mold, mildew, rust, and corrosion
  • Controls dew point, preventing "Container Rain"
  • Environmentally safe and can be disposed of as normal waste
  • Completely safe for contact with food and drugs
Applications:
  • Ocean, truck, rail, and air transport
  • Storage facilities
  • Ideal for boats and RVs as well as other long term storage applications
  • Protection of agricultural commodities, furniture, auto parts, machinery, metal components, corrugated boxes, wood, textiles, leather goods, food products, coffee, pet food, canned goods, and more

How to Choose a High Barrier Bag

High barrier bags are used to preserve and protect products. When paired with an oxygen absorber or desiccant, products enjoy even greater shelf-life and stability. However, selecting the appropriate package is not always as straight forward as it seems.
