Chemicals / Plastics / Glass

Moisture-related issues can silently disrupt even the most robust materials. In the chemicals, plastics, and glass industries, where bulk cargo and powders are the norm, even a small shift in humidity can trigger big operational problems.  

Traditionally, moisture control has relied on basic protection methods like clay or silica gel. But there’s a more efficient, sustainable, and high-performance way to secure both packaging and material integrity across the entire logistics chain. 

Common products 

Chemical powders, plastic granules, additives, resin pellets, industrial glass sheets, fiberglass rolls, etc. 

Common damages and problems

Powder caking
Damaged or softened packaging
Collapsed bulk bags or cartons
Peeling or unreadable labels
Moisture-induced sticking
Product flowability and usability reduced

Our solutions 

In industries where product functionality is closely tied to physical flow or form — such as powders, granules, or stacked glass — even minor moisture exposure can lead to unusable product or unsafe handling. Collapsed bags, stuck-together glass, or clumped granules result in both financial loss and downstream production delays. 

Absortech container desiccants are designed to reduce humidity and manage moisture level. By reducing humidity inside the container itself, they prevent condensation and protect packaging — in tightly packed containers or heavy bulk shipments. 

Our desiccants use calcium chloride, offering up to 8-12x absorption capacity compared to traditional clay or silica gel — and are fully encapsulated to prevent any contact with your goods. 

We recommend AbsorGel® Blanket or Sheet — both optimized for high-volume shipments and ease of application.
