Container Dri® II
 The
harmful effects of cargo damage caused by condensation during transport can often
translate into lost revenue and jeopardize credibility for manufacturers, distributors and
retailers of almost any product. In growing numbers, however, transporters are learning
that one of the most effective weapons to protect shipments is Container Dri®II.
 Advanced
Protection from Condensation Damage
Container Dri® II is a new
generation of packaging protection for the reduction of dew point and the control of
condensation. Its design allows water vapor to easily enter through the flexible packaging
film and into the interior of the bag, where it is concentrated into a thick gel. Water
vapor can pass into the bag, but the gel cannot leak or escape. This new patent pending
design has
many advantages over other desiccant products.
- Easier to use (the content weight is only 125 grams per
package)
- The adsorption capacity of each bag will be a minimum of
280% of water vapor @ 90% RH @ 25°C
- Improved Seal Integrity -- the seals are welded together and
do not rely on a weaker coating or layered adhesive
- Trapped water vapor is concentrated and locked-up as a gel
- No corrosive liquid or gel leakage from the desiccant bag
- No potential contamination of valuable transport cargo
- Completely safe, non-toxic materials -- Container Dri®
II bags
may be disposed of with regular waste when removed from shipping container or cargo box
Container Dri® II Usage
 The recommended usage for Container Dri®
II is 32 bags for a normal 20 ft. shipping container, and 64 bags for a 40 ft.
shipping container. We recommend that you consult your sales representative or distributor
for additional information and assistance, since travel time, weather conditions,
temperature variations, and final destination may significantly affect the levels of
relative humidity encountered during the voyage.
When the shipment reaches its final destination, the Container
Dri® II bags may be removed during the unloading process, and treated as
normal dunnage. Since the product is not hazardous and is non toxic, the bags may be
thrown into a normal waste container or into an ordinary landfill.

Glossary of Terms
Relative Humidity:
The amount of water vapor suspended or "held" in the air.
Dew Point:
The point at which condensation begins to form as liquid water or ice on the surface of an
object. An example would be the water droplets that condense on the outside of a glass of
ice water.
Dew Point Temperature:
The temperature at which water vapor in the atmosphere begins to condense onto a surface
forming liquid water or ice.
Condensation will occur if the surface temperature of
an object is equal to or is lower than the Dew Point Temperature. If the Relative Humidity
is lowered, the Dew Point Temperature is also lowered.
