ABSORPOLE and ABSORBAG Humidity Absorbers

 

 

 

 

 

Every year thousands of containerized cargoes are damaged by moisture problems.  Metal parts arrive corroded, cardboard boxes moldy and wet and food commodities are found to be unfit for human consumption. Millions of dollars are spent on protective packaging, coatings and silica gels that often do not solve the problem.

The solution is to create a dry environment within the shipping container. Absorpole and Absorbag are based on the proven ability of Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) to aggressively remove moisture from the air. The resulting brine is collected in a solid (ABSORPOLE) or flexible (ABSORBAG) plastic container that is installed in the container corrugation.

 Absorpole and Absorbag are made only from PE/PP plastics and salt, which are non-toxic and recyclable.
