Container desiccants are mainly used in shipping containers and are indispensable in the marine transportation industry. However, some desiccants will gradually turn into water when they touch water or become damp or absorb moisture. So why? What? Let me explain this problem to everyone:
1. The main raw material is calcium chloride, so the desiccant does not become water after absorbing moisture, but it becomes calcium chloride water, but it is shown in the form of water. It is synthesized by using good calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid as raw materials , Filtration, evaporation and concentration, drying and other processes refined.
2. If it is made of granular moisture-proof desiccant, it will turn into water after absorbing moisture. If it is a white granular that solidifies after absorbing water, it will not change after absorbing moisture. Calcium chloride is white granular, and silica gel is white transparent granular, which is easy to distinguish.
3. Since the desiccant will become water after absorbing moisture, many desiccants will add starch and other raw materials to lock the shape, so that it does not become water, but a sticky object. This is the main reason why some desiccants become water after absorbing moisture.
Container desiccant is used to absorb the container during ocean transportation or storage to reduce the moisture content of the air in the container and prevent the occurrence of rain in the container. So when we use or store it, we should put it in a dry place to avoid contact with water, otherwise it will fail.
