Choosing desiccant materials

Choosing desiccants for your goods and packaging conditions

A reference framework for selecting suitable desiccant materials and formats for each shipment.

No single desiccant solution suits every situation

Each shipment has different packaging, storage and transit times, and moisture sensitivity, so the appropriate solution varies.

Factors to consider

Packaging type: individual boxes/cartons or full container loads.

Expected storage and transit duration.

Temperature and humidity at storage locations, during transport and at the destination.

Sensitivity of the goods to moisture, including textiles, leather, wood and electronics.

Logistics conditions: transport mode, handling frequency and transfer times.

Common desiccant formats

Small sachets are generally suitable for individual boxes and cartons. Hanging strips are commonly used for moisture control throughout a container.

FUCACO does not provide an online dosage calculator

The information above provides general guidance on factors to consider. FUCACO does not offer an online dosage calculator or shipment-specific quantities on this website; suitable quantities must be confirmed directly against actual shipment conditions.

Selection note

Suitable desiccant materials and quantities depend on the technical and logistics conditions of each shipment. This information is general guidance, not a dosage calculator; please contact us for advice based on actual conditions.
