Container Desiccants
Price range: £10.00 through £37.00

- Solidifies when wet: holds absorbed moisture in the desiccant to prevent leaks.
- Up to 40 days: absorbs moisture at 20–40°C and 60–90% relative humidity.
- Chloride and starch: a blend formulated for moisture control in containers.
- Formats: blanket, hook, strip, single and pole, fixed with hooks or adhesive.
What are container desiccants?
Container desiccants absorb moisture from the air inside a shipping container. Temperature and pressure changes during sea transport can cause rapid humidity fluctuations, and the condensation that results drips onto cargo as container rain. SeaDry captures moisture before condensation forms, helping protect goods from corrosion, mould and mildew.

Container Desiccant Questions
How long does SeaDry last in a container?
SeaDry absorbs moisture for up to 40 days under demanding conditions: 20–40°C and 60–90% relative humidity. Actual working life depends on the cargo, the length of the journey and the climate it passes through. For long voyages, or goods that are particularly sensitive to moisture, call us for advice on the right format and quantity.
Which SeaDry format should I choose?
It depends on how the container is loaded. The blanket sits directly on cargo and suits tightly packed containers. The hook hangs from lash hooks and suits less confined spaces. Strip and single formats attach to the walls or the cargo, in open or confined spaces. Pole formats hook into lash lugs, away from the goods, for longer-term transport and storage and for sensitive goods.
How do container desiccants differ from silica gel packets?
SeaDry is a chloride and starch blend in formats made for shipping containers, with hooks or adhesive for fixing, and it is designed to solidify when wet. Silica gel packets are small sachets of silica gel, usually used inside sealed cartons and packs. Britwrap also supplies silica gel packets in 1g, 5g and 10g sizes.
How many container desiccants do I need?
There is no single number, because it depends on the cargo, the length of the journey and the climate along the route. Call us on 0151 934 1260 or email info@britwrap.co.uk with your cargo and route and we will advise. Our guide to protecting shipping container contents with moisture absorbers has more background.
What happens when a SeaDry desiccant is full?
SeaDry is designed to solidify when wet. The moisture it has absorbed stays held in the desiccant rather than leaking onto the cargo. If you are unsure whether a desiccant needs replacing, call 0151 934 1260 or email info@britwrap.co.uk and we will advise.
