Moisture and problems in the logistics sector
Defeating moisture is crucial in the logistics sector to ensure a supply chain without unpleasant surprises.
Those who regularly ship goods that are carefully manufactured and packed to ensure their integrity during delivery know how frustrating it is to discover that one's materials have been damaged by moisture.
The entire supply chain route, which includes sea, land and air transport, is always susceptible to moisture infiltrating containers. This can occur due to temperature variations, condensation or direct exposure to water, and can cause various types of damage, including:
- Quality degradation: moisture can be particularly damaging to sensitive products such as food or metals, which can corrode due to moisture.
- Economic loss: when goods arrive damaged at their destination, there are costs associated with handling returns or replacing goods, not to mention the valuable time of the people involved.
- Damage to brand image: the delivery of damaged materials can undermine customer trust and company reliability.
To avoid such problems, it is essential to use desiccants. These devices are designed to absorb moisture from the air inside the packaging, thus protecting the goods and preventing condensation in containers during transport.
The choice of the type of desiccant to be used must be based on the type of transport and the cargo to be protected. For this reason, it is advisable to consult our technical experts, who are trained to identify the most suitable product for your specific needs.
A relatively modest investment, both in terms of time and money, can make a significant difference in the outcome of a transport. This will not only protect your valuable products from moisture, but also preserve your company's image and reputation in the logistics sector.
