Moisture is a common issue, which is equally problematic in the workplace and everyday life at home. In warehouses, shipping containers and storage areas, it can damage goods and affect their quality. At home, it leads to the development of mould and can impact the health of occupants. Through our SEKO brand, we offer a complete range of moisture absorbers to satisfy the different requirements of all our customers.
Importance of moisture management
Risks relating to excessive moisture
Moisture can cause serious damage to everyday goods. In the home, it can cause mould, unpleasant odours and health problems. Excess moisture damages furniture, walls and textiles. This often generates high costs for repair or replacement.
Why choose moisture management?
Moisture management is essential for maintaining product quality and guaranteeing a healthy environment. It can be used to protect goods throughout the logistics chain and prevent financial losses. In the home, it also improves comfort and protects against damage. SEKO moisture absorbers are designed to fulfil these requirements with the ideal solutions for different spaces and humidity levels.
SEKO range of moisture absorbers
Moisture absorbers without drip trays
Moisture absorbers without drip trays are a compact and easy-to-use solution. They are ideal for confined spaces and poorly ventilated rooms such as cupboards, wardrobes and food stores, for example, as well as spaces that remain closed for prolonged periods, such as mobile homes during winter. Their absorption capacity helps prevent condensation and mould growth.
We also offer SEKO Mobile, which are designed especially for cars and other vehicles, such as caravans, camping-cars and boats. This handy format can be used to limit mist on windows and prevent moisture issues inside vehicles.
Moisture absorbers with drip trays
Moisture absorbers with drip trays are a handy solution for larger areas. They trap ambient moisture over a long period and perfectly regulate humidity levels. You need to remember to empty the drip tray, however, and change the refill periodically, depending on requirements (approximately every 6 weeks). They can be used to avoid the harmful effects of moisture on furniture. Being refillable makes this a cost-effective and durable solution.
Desiccant sachets
Desiccant sachets are a handy and versatile solution. They are often used to protect sensitive products in packing boxes and confined spaces. They prevent metal corrosion, food deterioration and damage to fragile materials. At home, they are a useful addition to musical-instrument cases, camera bags and luggage, to avoid the development of unpleasant odours and the spread of mould. For optimal performance, these sachets should be used in very small spaces, otherwise the desiccant is consumed too quickly.
Odour absorbers
Odour absorbers complete the work of other moisture management solutions. They trap excess moisture while neutralising unpleasant odours. They improve the air quality in damp rooms and alleviate musty odours in cupboards, WCs, bathrooms and cellars.
How do you choose the right SEKO moisture absorber?
Depending on the type of space
Choosing an absorber depends, first and foremost, on the space you wish to protect. Desiccant sachets and absorbers without drip trays are ideal for shipping containers and warehouses. In the home, absorbers with or without drip trays are suitable for damp rooms, such as bathrooms, cellars or poorly ventilated bedrooms.
Depending on humidity levels
The extent of the moisture problem should also be considered when choosing a solution. We recommend that you use a hygrometer to measure humidity levels in the air. For moderate humidity, an absorber with or without a drip tray will suffice to maintain a healthy environment. For higher humidity levels, we recommend absorbers with a drip tray. In extreme environments, such as storage warehouses or homes with high levels of condensation, a combination of several solutions is recommended.
