Prevention of condensation formation
Accumulation of water vapor that generates stains on packaging and corrosion of metalsCondensation formation is one of the most damaging phenomena for product integrity during transport and storage, causing stains on packaging and products, metal corrosion, material deterioration, and proliferation of mold and bacteria. This problem occurs when humidity-saturated air encounters cold surfaces, transforming water vapor into droplets that settle on products.
Effective prevention of condensation formation requires the use of products such as Propasec and Propasil sachets, desiccants that reduce the dew point by preventing air saturation, and Propacontainer, Propadry or Propadry Plus, innovative systems specifically designed to neutralize condensation in packaging and maritime containers.
When it is necessary to maintain a constant humidity level, the ideal product is Propadyndustry as it stabilizes relative humidity by preventing the saturation point from being reached. For complementary physical protection, it is necessary to use Propametic, the barrier film that prevents direct contact of water vapor with products and which, with the aid of desiccants, creates a controlled microclimate inside the packaging.
Condensation prevention extends its effectiveness through the integration of multiple technologies: humidity control reduces the probability of condensation formation and physical barriers prevent direct contact with packaged products. This strategy is particularly important for sectors such as electronics, where even small amounts of condensation can cause short circuits, metals in general, which must be protected with anti-corrosive products such as VCI plastics, but with the integration of anti-humidity products. The pharmaceutical industry is also a sensitive sector where humidity could compromise the effectiveness of active ingredients, as is the food industry where condensation favors the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms that can make products unsafe for consumption.
