Humidity and its effects

Products that are shipped in container are exposed to conditions of high stress. The strong climatic variations during transportation favor the rapid formation of condensation, which can spoil the product, causing economic and image damage. Some examples of damages caused by humidity are:

• Discoloration and/or detachment of labels
• Damage to packaging such as cardboard boxes
• Growth of mold

Introducing Desert GEL: innovative anti-humidity solution

To counteract the rapid formation of the condensation, we have developed Desert GEL, the new product that allows fast absorption of moisture, preventing its build-up and its damaging effects. Product innovation is characterized by the reduced dimensions/weight and the excellent moisture insulation from the shipping material.

Desert GEL typical uses

• Paper products tend to

absorb moisture and getting curled (see paper). These are just some of the cases in which it is recommended the use of Desert GEL. During transportation, the goods and packaging are exposed to moisture present in the container:

• The cardboard boxes with moisture will soften

losing their physical and mechanical characteristics, increasing the propensity to deformation and the risk of breakage during handling.

• The labels, especially those on glass surfaces (i.e. bottles), with the humidity,

tend to detach, get moldy and fade making the presentation of the product undesirable to the customer (see restaurants).

The waterproof nature of the bag’s bottom part, and its pan shape, gives Desert GEL a high level of moisture containment and insulation from the shipped material. The mechanical strength is guaranteed by the aluminum layer in the bag. The bag’s top part material allows the product to achieve excellent breathability, absence of dust transpiration and outstanding resistance to breakage. The innovative mixture of its content gives Desert GEL its fast and total humidity absorption while keeping its size and weight to a minimum.

Desert Gel vs 1kg bag

7 Desert GEL 125g bag is roughly equivalent in humidity absorption to a 1Kg traditional container bag, giving following advantages:

• Reduction of transportation costs;
• Ease in the arrangement inside the

container: desert Gel bags could be configured in stripes;

• Less pollution is generated during

transportation. Desert GEL can be set up as:

• individual bags
• individual bags or stripes, with an hook or

a string to hang them or with double-sided adhesive tape to "stick them" on pallets or

• ther surfaces
• stripes of more bags (from 2 up to 14

bags), to be positioned on the anchor hooks

• n the walls of the container thanks to an

hook or a nonwoven string sewn on one or

• n both sides (as for the 14 bags stripe - see

pictures)
