Easy to use moisture protection
AbsorGel® Max Calcium Chloride Desiccant protects products, pallets and container loads from moisture during export and transit. Made with calcium chloride and starch, it draws humidity from the air and binds the absorbed water into a gel, so no liquid forms. Its 250% absorption rate gives a 4.5 litre water absorption capacity for long journeys, while the built-in hanging hook fits to lashing rings below the container ceiling to avoid loss of cargo space.

Where does AbsorGel® Max Calcium Chloride Desiccant work best?
Use this calcium chloride desiccant when you need moisture protection inside export containers and transit loads, especially over long journeys where humidity can damage products, cartons and pallets.
- Export containers carrying humidity-sensitive goods, where calcium chloride draws moisture from the air during transit.
- Long-distance sea freight, where the 4.5 litre water absorption capacity supports protection over extended journey times.
- Loaded containers where cargo space matters, as the hanging hook lets you suspend the desiccant from lashing rings below the container ceiling.
- Palletised goods and packed products in transit, where absorbed water binds into a gel to avoid free liquid forming inside the load space.
Not for
- Small parcels, mailing packs or single cartons where a compact sachet format is more suitable. Choose silica gel desiccant packets for smaller enclosed packs.
- Applications where you cannot hang the desiccant inside the container. Use a desiccant format designed for placement within cartons or packaging instead.
- Open storage areas with constant air exchange, as the product works by removing moisture from an enclosed transit environment.

Product FAQs
How does calcium chloride protect cargo from moisture?
Calcium chloride attracts moisture from the surrounding air. In this product, starch helps bind the absorbed water into a gel, so no loose liquid forms.
Can I use it for export shipments?
Yes. The product suits export use and transit protection, particularly where humidity presents a risk to goods, cartons or pallets.
Will it reduce my usable container space?
No. The built-in hook lets you hang it from lashing rings below the container ceiling, so it does not take up pallet or floor space.
What absorption capacity does it provide?
Each unit has a 250% absorption rate and a 4.5 litre water absorption capacity.
Also useful
- Pallet wrap: for securing palletised goods and reducing movement during transport.
- Cardboard boxes: for packing goods before export where humidity protection forms part of the wider shipping process.
