MOSCOW (MRC) -- Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, will showcase its leading desiccant products and its newly expanded line of container desiccants, Container Dri II dedicated to the transportation industry during the 9th China (Shenzhen) International Logistics and Transportation Fair (CILF) on October 14-16, 2014, as per the company's press release.
Clariant’s Container Dri II portfolio offers a comprehensive line of container desiccants that provide versatile protection against damaging humidity and moisture during intermodal transport. Available in bags, poles and strips, these industry-leading products aggressively absorb up to three times their weight in moisture, and trap it as a thick gel that will not spill or drip, reducing relative humidity to less than 40%.
The product reduces dew point temperatures that cause harmful "container rain", keeping cargoes safe and dry for up to 90 days. It is particularly valuable when there is a large volume of space requiring moisture removal; high levels of humiditiy are present due to climate, cargo or storage conditions; or the container is not fully closed and admits exterior air and humidity.
"Our Container Dri II line-up provide our customers with high quality products in variuos sizes and styles that fully meet their needs with some of the best performance on the market. On the logistics and transportation scene of China, where there’s an increasing drive for more reliable intermodal cargo desiccants, we find a strong demand for our products," said Menghwee Toh, Head of Sales for Clariant CPD Asia, BL Absorbents, BU Functional Minerals.
Container Dri II claims this top-performing spot thanks to the absorption capacity of up to 300% with its calcium chloride desiccant bags. This means that customers accustomed to using traditional silica gels for moisture control will see noticable better moisture control for all types of products during transport - regardless of mode or method - with Container Dri II products.
As MRC reported earlier, in late July 2014, CB&I and Clariant announced that their new Ziegler-Natta (ZN) polypropylene catalyst plant in Louisville, Kentucky, is on schedule to begin production in 2015. The plant is part of a long-term strategic partnership between Clariant’s catalysts business and CB&I’s Lummus Novolen Technology business. Based at Clariant’s largest US production hub, the new facility will combine innovative catalysts jointly developed by both companies with high-capacity output.
