Clariant International, Muttenz, Switzerland – a world leading manufacturer of speciality chemicals – reports that it has granted the Ecotain® sustainability excellence label to its Container Dri® II cargo desiccant product. Capable of holding up to three times its own weight in water from the atmosphere, Container Dri II has shown itself to be exceptional for its high absorption capacity and effectiveness for all temperature and humidity ranges. It helps to safeguard food quality and reduce food waste by protecting containerised shipments, particularly over long journeys and through different climate zones. Independent trials demon stated that in order to absorb the same amount of water as one kilogram of Container Dry II, competing products would need to use between 1.5 and 2.5 times the drying agent amount.

 

While absorbing water the product transforms from granules into a gel which securely locks in the water without any possibility for liquid to escape, spill or drip. The non-toxic drying agent offers a high level of safety. The saturated dehumidification bags, strips or poles can afterwards be disposed of through normal industrial waste. Container Dri II is the only cargo desiccant to carry an eco-label claim for its renewable resource properties. www.clariant.com/container-dri
