    • CONTAINER DRI® II

      Clariant's Container Dri® portfolio offers a broad line of container desiccants that offer versatile protection against damaging humidity and moisture during intermodal transport. Available in bags, poles and strips, these industry-leading products absorb up to three times their weight in moisture, and trap it as a thick gel that will not spill or drip. Questions about using desiccants? Call us. Preventing “Container Rain” A unique feature of Container Dri II desiccants, also referred to as moisture absorbing bags, or dry bags, is dew point control. Dew point is the temperature at which condensation starts to form on surfaces, such as container walls and roofs. By aggressively removing moisture from ambient air, Container Dri II products lower the dew point to prevent “container rain”, “container sweat”, or also known as “cargo sweat”, from damaging goods in transit. This system is highly effective in preventing the conditions that may cause mildew, warpage, corrosion, caking and other damage to agricultural products, bulk foods, powders, wood products, glass, furniture, automobile parts, leather goods, beans such as cocoa bean, and coffee bean, machinery and metal components. Container Dri II cargo desiccants can help manufacturers, shippers, distributors and other stakeholders protect brand equity, maintain their reputation for quality and safeguard revenues.

  • Industry Solutions

    Industry Solutions

    Clariant Cargo and Device Protection’s advanced moisture protection technologies offer industry-leading solutions for a broad range of transport applications: from goods traveling in conventional cargo packaging and containers to shipment and storage of sensitive electronic and semiconductor devices.

    Protect Cargo during Transport and Export

    Intermodal transport – rail, truck, container ship – exposes cargo to a range of potentially damaging environmental conditions, including high humidity. Even mild humidity, if prolonged, can lead to mold, spoilage, corrosion, discoloration, caked powders, warped wood and other devaluation of products in transit. In some cases, condensation on the sides of containers and truck trailers can cause container rain, posing further risk to valuable product.

    For protection against such risk, Clariant Cargo & Device Protection offers innovative container desiccants that control moisture during shipment, as well as high-performance humidity indicators that alert shippers when humidity threatens their cargo. Clariant’s flagship product family, Container Dri® II container desiccants, offers high absorption capability in high humidity (>40 percent) scenarios to avoid container rain also known as cargo sweat. 

    Protect Electronics and Semiconductors against Moisture

    Excessive moisture can seriously degrade the performance of electronics and semiconductor devices during transport or storage. That’s why manufacturers across the entire electronics supply chain choose to incorporate Clariant’s innovative desiccants into their packaging to protect their products’ performance.

    Clariant offers a full range of industry-leading desiccants, humidity indicator cards (HICs) and adsorbent technologies to protect your most sensitive devices. We also supply desiccants and humidity indicators for semiconductors and surface-mount devices that comply with standards established by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC specification J-STD-033 for dry packing).

    The new Humitector™ Type 2 Non-Reversible Humidity Indicator Cards are the first low-halogen cobalt dichloride-free humidity indicator cards to combine multiple, reversible color humidity indicators with an industry first: a patent-pending, non-reversible 60% humidity indicator.  Further, Type 2 HICs with a non-reversible 60% spot indicator is preferred by IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-033D.  

    Protect Packaged Foods against Oxygen Absorption

    In addition to moisture, oxygen left inside food packaging can affect the taste, texture and freshness and can ultimately lead to food spoilage. To help our customers’ maintain their high quality brands, Clariant offers Oxy-Guard ™ oxygen scavengers, also known as oxygen absorbers, that can be used in the packaging itself, thus eliminating the need to add preservatives or additives to food products. We offer Oxy-Guard in two customizable configurations to meet our customers’ needs: Packets and continuous strips for automatic insertion. To prevent oxidative degradation and prolong shelf life, Oxy-Guard is designed to maintain oxygen levels of less than 0.01% inside a sealed package throughout its intended shelf life.

    • Moisture Protection in Electronic Devices

      Moisture Protection in Electronic Devices

      Moisture can corrode sensitive electronic and semiconductor devices, and lead to erratic performance or even failure.

      This is a particular risk during shipment of electronics across different climate conditions. Moisture in the ambient air within a device can precipitate out when the temperature drops during transport or storage. Humidity can also permeate through plastic in a device housing, or via a gap or leak.

      Clariant Cargo & Device Protection manufactures the humidity indicator cards, desiccants and adsorbent technologies that can protect your sensitive electronics from damaging moisture.

      Humitector™ humidity indicator cards monitor humidity within product packaging, and show a visible color shift if quality is threatened. To control moisture, ask about Clariant desiccant bags: Available in a broad range of sizes and configurations they fit inside most packaging.

      Many of our desiccants and humidity indicators comply with standards established by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) (JEDEC specification J-STD-033 for dry packing) for high-quality protection of semiconductors and surface mount devices (SMD’s).

    • Oxygen Absorption Protection for Packaged Foods

      Oxygen Absorption Protection for Packaged Foods

      The presence of oxygen and moisture inside packaged food products can lead to a wide array of problems that ultimately result in food degradation, product loss and brand image. Both oxygen and moisture allow the formation and growth of aerobic microorganisms, such as bacteria, mold and fungi. When this happens, oils and fats in foods begin to turn rancid, leading to a change in color and an unpleasant odor. Additionally, foods can lose their vitamin and nutritional value once they are exposed to these oxidative conditions.

      To help our customers safely and efficiently protect their valuable products against such loss, Clariant offers Oxy-Guard™ Oxygen Scavengers, a line of customizable oxygen absorbers for food packaging. Rather than adding preservatives or additives directly to food products to prevent oxidation, our O2 absorber products allow the packaging to prevent oxidation, helping to meet consumers’ demands for more natural and preservative-free foods.

      Clariant offers Oxy-Guard absorbers in various sizes, as individual packets or continuous strip configurations for automatic insertion. Their high capacity for oxygen absorption helps to maintain oxygen levels of less than 0.01% inside sealed packages, and enables our customers to safely transport high-quality foods full of flavor, freshness and nutritional value.
