The Problem

Moisture damage costs billions in ruined cargo

Each year, £50 billion worth of containerised goods are damaged by moisture. When containers move between climate zones, trapped moisture becomes a serious threat to cargo. This damage affects businesses worldwide, leading to costly claims, rework expenses, and damaged customer relationships.

FAQ

Common questions about moisture protection

How quickly does container rain damage occur?

A temperature drop of just 5° can cause container rain. Our desiccants actively control humidity levels to prevent condensation from ever forming, protecting your cargo from the moment of loading.

How many desiccant bags do I need for my container?

As a general rule, use 1kg of Nordic Dry per 4m³ of free air space. The exact quantity depends on cargo moisture content, voyage duration, and available air space. We provide personalised assessments and assist with trial operations.

How effective is Nordic Dry at moisture absorption?

Our bags absorb up to 250% of their own weight. For example, a 2kg Piccolo bag will absorb up to 5kg of water before reaching saturation. All bags feature triple-layered inner and double-layered outer construction.

What certifications does Nordic Dry have?

We meet rigorous international standards including EU REACH Regulations, UK RoHS, US FDA Approval, and IKEA special requirements. All certifications are independently verified by SGS and Intertek HK.

Can Nordic Dry protect high-value electronics?

Yes. Our Mini Bags (5g-150g) are specifically designed for protecting sensitive electronics, with options for adhesive backing. They’re ideal for switchboards, light clusters, and sealed electronic enclosures.

What preparation is needed before installing Nordic Dry?

Inspect the container for floor moisture (should be below 15%), check door seals for damage, seal container vents with strong duct tape, and ensure even distribution of bags on container hooks. We recommend placing a protective sheet between bags and cargo.

Do you provide onsite support?

Yes. We take a hands-on approach, routinely attending container loadings and unloadings. Our team provides direct guidance on optimal product placement and quantity for your specific cargo.

Why choose Nordic Dry over other solutions?

Our products offer superior protection compared to silica gel, container liners, or carton sheet wrap. They’re fully recyclable, feature heat-welded seams for leak prevention, and include drop protection up to 2.5m when saturated.
