Most clothing fabrics, especially natural ones, readily absorb moisture and contain nutrients, making them highly susceptible to mold. Common production steps like dyeing and finishing also introduce significant moisture. Due to tight schedules, garments are often packaged before completely dry, elevating the risk of mold during storage and transit. Mold contamination typically makes restoration impossible, leading to major financial losses for customers and serious resource waste from disposal.
Moisture Issues: Fabric mold growth, yellowing, musty odor, and rusting of metal accessories
Moisture Prevention Recommendations
Check the moisture content before shipping, and ensure any products that do not meet the standard are thoroughly dried.
Place calcium chloride desiccant inside the packaging to promptly absorb any excess moisture.
Monitor the temperature and humidity of the warehouse, andmaintain relative humidity within an appropriate range.
Container desiccants are used in export shipping containers.
