How to Use a Container Desiccant Correctly
Basic steps
Check that the container is dry and clean before installation. Hang the product vertically in a well-ventilated position inside the container, avoiding prolonged direct contact with cargo surfaces. Confirm the quantity and installation positions match the actual stow arrangement before closing the container doors.
Notes on installation position
The hanging position should allow air to circulate around the product for effective absorption. Densely packed cargo arrangements can affect the ideal hanging position — this should be assessed per container rather than using one fixed position for every shipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the desiccant be placed on the container floor instead of hung?
The product is designed to be hung vertically to optimize airflow. Placing it on the floor can reduce effectiveness and increase the risk of direct cargo contact or crushing.
