Description
Dry Pole Desiccant: High-Performance Moisture Protection for Shipping
The Dry Pole Desiccant is a high-performance moisture absorber designed to prevent condensation, container rain, and humidity-related cargo damage during shipping. It is commonly used in ocean freight, long-haul trucking, and warehouse storage to protect goods from mould, corrosion, and packaging deterioration.
Comprising a blend of calcium chloride and starch, each unit can absorb up to 3 litres of moisture. This moisture is converted into a gel through an irreversible reaction, preventing any risk of leakage. The Dry Pole Gel 1kg desiccant is individually wrapped and comes with a hook, enabling it to be hung vertically from the container’s lashing hooks.
Dry Pole Gel Desiccant Features:
- High absorption capacity: Absorbs more than 300% of its weight — each unit captures up to 3 litres of moisture.
- Easy installation: Hanging hook allows the unit to be placed along container walls, fitting snugly into panel grooves.
- Instant activation: Begins working immediately once removed from the packaging.
- Leak-proof performance: Moisture is trapped in a gel state, eliminating the risk of spills or leaks.
- Broad temperature tolerance: Suitable for environments ranging from -5°C to 90°C.
- Safe and compliant: REACH registered, non-toxic, DMF-free, and compliant with EU and US regulations.
How Many Dry Pole Desiccants Do You Need in a Shipping Container?
- 20-foot container: 4–6 units
- 40-foot container: 8–10 units

How does a Dry Pole 1kg Desiccant work?
The Dry Pole 1kg Desiccant absorbs excess humidity from the air inside a shipping container, preventing condensation (“container rain”) from forming on cargo surfaces. It transforms moisture into a gel to prevent leaks and spills, and provides long-lasting protection throughout the shipping journey to help prevent mould, mildew, rust, and moisture-related damage during transit. Protection Experts Australia’s Dry Pole 1kg uses calcium chloride-based technology, which absorbs up to 300% of its weight in moisture. The captured moisture remains in gel form, eliminating the risk of spills or leaks.
Why use Dry Pole 1kg Desiccants for shipping?
Dry Pole 1kg Desiccants are easy to install by hanging inside the container, saving space and maximising efficiency. They prevent container rain and condensation, reduce humidity inside sealed shipping containers, and protect cargo from mould, mildew, rust, and other moisture damage. With a high absorption capacity of 300%, the Dry Pole 1kg outperforms traditional desiccants and is made from non-toxic materials.
How many Dry Pole 1kg Desiccants do I need per container?
The number of Dry Pole 1kg Desiccants required depends on the container size, transit duration, type of goods, and expected climate conditions. As a general guide, 4 to 6 units are commonly used in a standard 20-foot container. For tailored recommendations, contact Protection Experts Australia.
