Effective moisture protection is essential for the safe export of sensitive electronic components in order to prevent corrosion and short circuits. A practical example shows: By using SeaDry desiccants, the relative humidity in the container can be kept constantly low and the functionality of high-tech components can be ensured during long overseas journeys.

54 percent of all online orders are placed with Amazon (own-account and marketplaces)*. Depending on the product category and payment method, in some cases every second parcel in Germany is returned to the respective e-commerce retailer**. A large business segment. Especially for Marketplace retailers who lack the necessary capacities for their own returns management, it is a common model to hand over the returns to resellers. Before they can sell the goods themselves, they have to be stored temporarily - e.g. in a freight container. To protect the goods from damage due to high humidity, a ThoMar customer uses SeaDry container desiccants. The success of this measure is confirmed by a data logger that continuously records the climate in the container. If the desiccants are replaced in good time after saturation, the humidity remains within a non-critical range.
