What is Container Dri

®

II?

ContainerDriII is the new generation of transport protection for thereduction of dew point and control of condensation. ContainerDriII’sinnovative design allows water vapor to easily enter the interior ofthe bag, where it is transformed into a thick gel and will not leak, escape, or spill. If a shipping container is loaded during high temperatures and theRelative Humidity is above 80%, then the possibility of condensationoccurring is substantial when the temperature begins to drop.ContainerDriII helps keep the Dew Point Temperature below the actual temperature, even when the actual temperature drops within the shipping container due to temperature fluctuations. Dew PointTemperature is the temperature at which water vapor begins tocondense onto a surface forming liquid water. The liquid water thatresults inside a container is called "Container Rain." Container Rainwill occur if the surface temperature of an object is equal or lower than the Dew Point Temperature. If the Relative Humidity is lowered with the absorbing properties of Container Dri II, the Dew Point Temperature is also lowered, stoppingContainer Rain. Generally, 32 125-gram bags are recommended for 20-foot shippingcontainers, and 64 bags for 40-foot containers, though the number may vary depending on shipping conditions and the nature of the productsbeing protected. Süd-Chemie Performance Packaging works withcustomers to determine the optimal number of bags of Container Dri II to protect products for the duration of their journey. Bags are placed with cargo print-side-up or adhered to the sides of the container. Typical Applications: ? Automotive ? Coffee beans, bulk packagedgrains, and milled products ? Food ? Powders ? Pet foods
Without Container Dri II With Container Dri II Condensation occurs when surfacetemperature and Dew Point Temperature are equal. Dew Point Temperature is kept belowtemperature, preventing condensation. ? Glass ? Paints and varnishes ? Wood ? Canned goods

Performance

[C] 1.At 90% RH @ 25º C the absorption capacity of each bag willbe approximately 280% of its weight.2.Continues to reduce the relative humidity down to levelsbelow 40% RH, which decreases the dew point temperatureeven further.3.Has the ability to protect shipments from start to finish,through all temperature ranges and relative humidityvariances.4.Completely safe, non-toxic materials.
