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, reported the company on its site.
In the increasingly globalized supply chain, uncontrolled humidity and condensation on shipment en route to international destination can easily compromise business’ bottom line. Mold, corrosion, spoilage and warping are just some of the harmful effects caused by moisture during transportation, whether it is via shipping container, rail, barge or truck.
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.
Container Dri II claims this top-performing spot thanks to the absorption capacity of up to 300% with its calcium chloride desiccant bags.
As MRC reported earlier, in 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.
Clariant AG is a Swiss chemical company and a world leader in the production of specialty chemicals for the textile, printing, mining and metallurgical industries. It is engaged in processing crude oil products in pigments, plastics and paints.
