What is container humidity control?

Container humidity control is a solution to make the containers completely hermetic. Thanks to different methods, your cargo will be preserved from humidity.

How does container humidity control work?

To control the humidity of the container, there are different ways, either a bamboo floor with natural humidity control functions directly installed in the containers, or a handmade coating that covers the entire interior of the container, or silica gel to protect the products, or a dryfreight bag that absorbs the humidity of the ambient air of your cargo thanks to calcium chloride, a drying substance
