Preventing Corrosion on Drums and IBC Frames During Transport

Goods worth nearly 1.5 trillion euros were exported by companies in the chemical-pharmaceutical industry from leading countries in 2021 – including Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Ireland*. The goods are transported via waterways, rail, and roads, often for weeks and through various climate zones.

(Lütau) A customer of ThoMar OHG is also active in this area, but there were complaints from the recipient side when corrosion was found on drums and IBC frames at the destination during a logistics project.

Even temperature fluctuations between day and night can be sufficient for humidity in enclosed spaces, such as a freight container, to repeatedly exceed a critical level. This leads to condensation, which regularly causes moisture damage to goods and packaging. To prevent moisture damage to your valuable cargo throughout the entire transfer duration, our self-manufactured high-performance desiccant SeaDry is a simple yet effective solution. In the case described here, the use of the product variant SeaDry Pole H proved to be particularly effective.

Various Shapes and Sizes Available

Several well-known companies in the chemical industry are already successfully using SeaDry container desiccants in their logistics projects. Various shapes, sizes, and mounting options are available. With the wide range of desiccants, ThoMar can also cover additional areas and process steps.
