Desiccants are hygroscopic substances that absorb moisture from the air. They are commonly used in cargo protection to prevent moisture-sensitive products from becoming damaged. Desiccants can be found in a variety of forms, including beads, granules, and sheets. They are typically placed in sealed containers with the cargo to be protected. The desiccant will absorb moisture from the air inside the container, keeping the cargo dry. Desiccants are an effective way to protect moisture-sensitive products from damage during transportation.
