Calcium chloride is an essential ally for moisture management. Used to absorb the moisture present in the air, this chemical compound has proven its worth as an effective solution for preventing moisture-related problems, whether protecting goods or maintaining a healthy environment. An expert in this domain and inventor of the moisture absorber, Sodepac makes the most of the unique properties of calcium chloride in its moisture absorbers, offering innovative solutions to meet a range of requirements.
What is calcium chloride?
Calcium chloride is a substance capable of absorbing the moisture present in the air. When exposed to ambient humidity, it captures the water molecules, changing from a solid to a liquid form. This transformation is the key to its effectiveness in reducing humidity in the spaces targeted.
Thanks to this property, calcium chloride is used in several different sectors:
- In an industrial context, to prevent corrosion and protect sensitive goods
- At home, in the form of dehumidifiers or sachets to reduce ambient humidity
These applications show the importance of calcium chloride in maintaining a healthy and safe environment.
Calcium chloride and moisture: an effective solution
When placed in a damp environment, calcium chloride acts like a sponge, trapping and retaining the moisture contained in the air. This enables it to quickly reduce humidity levels in a room, container or storage area. The process continues as long as there is still moisture to absorb, up to the maximum capacity of the Sodepac refills, which are a particularly effective solution for high-humidity environments.
Unlike other products, such as silica packets, calcium chloride remains effective even when humidity is high, since it can absorb water directly in liquid form. This makes it ideal for various uses, ranging from damp basements to large warehouses.
Controlling humidity thanks to calcium chloride
At Sodepac, we offer a wide range of solutions to effectively combat humidity, which are suitable for use in the home or professional contexts:
- In the home: moisture absorbers with drip trays are ideal for use in the home. They trap the moisture present in the air and convert it to water, which drips into the lower compartment. Easy to set up and maintain, these devices prevent condensation, mould and musty odours, while helping protect the health of those living in the home. Sodepac offers a range of high-quality moisture absorbers and refills, as well as manufacturing these items on behalf of customers, as white-label products.
In the workplace: Sodepac offers a wide range of moisture absorbers to meet a variety of requirements. For example, bagged moisture absorbers, which are ideal for protecting goods in shipping containers. They are easy to hang inside containers to trap moisture without releasing water, thus removing the risk of leaks or secondary condensation. These solutions are also ideal for logistics warehouses, for the industrial storage of foodstuffs or raw materials, and for a host of other environments requiring optimal moisture control.
Our products stand out due to their practical design, long-lasting performance and eco-friendly qualities. Working without a power source, they are a reliable and cost-effective response to moisture problems, thus protecting both material goods and sensitive environments. Thanks to this expertise, we provide solutions capable of protecting homes, goods and equipment from the harmful effects of humidity.
