Wisecargo Super Absorbing Gel Desiccants
280% absorption?? Correct, the new Wisecargo Gel Desiccant from JMP is the Rolls Royce of desiccants at a Toyota price! Wisecargo is a technological break through
in desiccants and is available in Australia exclusively through JMP Holdings.
Wisecargo is a specially designed desiccant housed inside leak proof packaging. It is an important tool in assuring your cargo is transported in a dry and safe condition no matter what temperature extremities it
may endure. Wisecargo quickly absorbs large amounts of moisture in order to control the relative humidity inside a shipping container, effectively wiping out the problem of 'container rain' caused by this excessive humidity.
Wisecargo's sorbent is a unique formula, which can absorb up to 280% of its weight under the condition of 25°C and 90% humidity. With such a large absorption rate the sorbent turns into a leak proof gel for added product protection. |

When containers are loaded and shipped through fluctuating temperatures and relative humidity
the possibility of condensation occurring is substantial as temperatures drop. Wisecargo helps
keep the dew point temperature below the actual temperature, even when the actual temperature
drops within the shipping container due to fluctuations. "Dew Point Temperature" is the temperature
at which water vapor begins to condense onto a surface forming liquid water. The liquid that
results inside a container is called "Container Rain".
Container rain will occur if the surface
temperature of an object is equal or lower than the dew point temperature. If the relative humidity
is lowered with the absorbing properties of Wisecargo, the dew point temperature is also lowered,
stopping container rain.
As you can see from the two charts below, the use of Wisecargo has helped bring the relative humidity down far below 100%.

A typical cycle is therefore:
- As the temperature rises in a container, the enclosed air draws
moisture from all possible sources inside the container, i.e. the
wooden floor, pallets, product packaging and even the product itself.
- Then as the temperature drops, i.e. during the night, during atmospheric
changes, or when the ship moves into a colder climate, the moisture
is released and condenses on the container’s roof and sides.
- The water that drips from the roof of the container, together
with the condensation that forms on the product causes corrosion,
mould, caking of powders, and damage to labels and packaging.
- This process of warming and cooling repeats itself numerous times
during a voyage, causing the damaging moisture cycle to repeat itself.

How do WisecargoDesiccants work?
- Wisecargodesiccants are manufactured under controlled conditions
in order to assure you of an absolutely dry desiccant upon delivery.
- After your container has been packed, and the specially formulated
film enclosing the Wisecargobag removed, the desiccant will immediately
start to absorb any moisture present inside the container.
- On the container doors being closed, Wisecargo controls the
humidity inside the container by continuously absorbing the moisture
from the enclosed air within. Wisecargo is designed
to hold the moisture and not release it back into the container’s
climate.
- As the humidity inside the container is kept continuously low,
the air is dry enough to prevent condensation forming at low temperatures.
- Wisegel will continue to absorb the moisture until it has
gained approximately 280% of its own weight.
Positioning your Wisecargo desiccants.
Placing your Wisecargo in strategic positions inside your container
should ensure a dry cargo out turn at the final destination. Wisecargo strips are very flexible and come with adhesive backing tabs allowing you to place
the bag in almost any position no matter what the packing configuration of the container maybe.

Case Study

1. Brief
Company 'A' ships their product by ocean freight container from South China to the United Kingdom.
When the container is opened at the destination water beads are found along the surface of the container's roof.
The cartons were damp and there was an unpleasant odour omitting from a build up of mould on the wooden cases (see below). A solution had to be sought and that solution was Wisecargo.
To ensure Wisecargo was the perfect choice a trial was conducted.

 |
|
2. Shipping Conditions
- July 26th - Container is loaded.
- August 7th - Container transported to wharf in South China.
- August 8th - Container departs China for United Kingdom.
- September 5th - Container arrives at inland UK destination.
|
 |
|
3. Trial Method
- 28 wooden cases loaded into a 40' container. 8 pieces of 1.5kg Wisecargo positioned on top of the wooden cases.
- Desiccants were also placed inside the wooden cases to add further protection to the goods.
- Two temperature and humidity data loggers were strategically placed inside the container. One was inside the goods and
one placed on the outside of the goods.
|
4. Trial Results
- No condensation appeared in any part of the container.
- No water trail was found in any parts of the product or wooden cases.
- The desiccants were not broken, damp or in any abnornmal appearance.
|
 |
|
5. Analysis and Research
- The relative humidity inside of the product package was basically kept between 70-80%, which protects
the cargo adequately.
- The relative humidity in the container was also basically kept at about 80% by the Wisecargo, preventing any appearance
of container rain.

6. Conclusion
Using the correct amount of Wisecargo desiccants inside a shipping container will ensure your product and your reputation stays protected. Wisecargo desiccants
should be placed as high as possible in a container and secured firmly.
