How to Prevent Container Rain

Inspect the container thoroughly before loading. If the cargo itself does not contain high moisture, seal the container’s vents with tape to maintain an airtight and dry interior.

  1. Use Ventilated Containers and Manage Airflow
    For moisture‑absorbent or mold‑prone goods such as wood, paper products, agricultural produce (e.g., cassava chips, tea), and certain chemicals, ventilated containers are recommended. Proper ventilation helps reduce temperature‑induced condensation.

    Note: For temperature‑sensitive cargo (e.g., some chemical materials), ventilation may affect quality. The decision should consider cargo characteristics, transport conditions, and safety.

  2. Use Efficient Moisture‑Absorbent Desiccants
    SUPER DRY calcium chloride desiccants offer 8–15 times higher moisture absorption compared to other desiccant materials. Made from high‑purity calcium chloride and plant‑based polymers, they effectively protect goods from moisture damage during transport and storage.
    Placing an adequate amount of SUPER DRY calcium chloride container desiccants inside the container can significantly reduce moisture‑related risks.

Conclusion
With scientific and practical preventive measures, “container rain” damage can be effectively avoided, ensuring cargo arrives safely at its destination.
