Low-Cost Solution for Moisture in Containers. Why Does It Work?
Moisture inside a container is rarely visible at first.
First come temperature differences. Then condensation. Eventually: odor, corrosion, and damaged cargo.
When containers are placed outdoors – on construction sites, in port areas, or used as temporary storage – the problem becomes worse during seasonal transitions such as autumn, winter, and early spring.
Where Does the Moisture Come From?
A container is a sealed steel structure.
During the day it heats up. At night it cools down quickly.
The air inside the container contains moisture.
When the temperature drops, water vapor condenses on the walls and ceiling.
The result can be:
• wet walls
• water droplets dripping onto the cargo
• mold and unpleasant odors
• corrosion
• claims and additional costs
Absorpole 2 L – Simple Moisture Control
One of the most effective and cost-efficient solutions is Absorpole 2 L – a moisture absorber specifically designed for containers.
Absorpole 2 L works on a simple physical principle:
The hygroscopic granulate attracts and binds moisture from the air.
Instead of settling as condensation on steel surfaces, the moisture is captured inside the absorber.
In practice, this means:
• less condensation on walls and ceiling
• reduced risk of mold
• lower corrosion risk
• better protection of your cargo
Absorpole 2 L is installed vertically inside the container.
No electricity required.
No structural modifications.
No ongoing maintenance.
It is a preventive solution – it works before damage occurs
Why Does It Work in Practice?
-
Reduces relative humidity in the enclosed space
Less moisture in the air means less condensation. -
Stabilizes the microclimate inside the container
Especially important during long-term storage. -
Protects both cargo and structure
Cardboard, electronics, steel components, and textiles are all sensitive to moisture. -
Cheaper than repairing damage
The cost of absorbers is significantly lower than the cost of claims, repairs, or damaged goods.
Moisture in a container is not a question of “if” – but “when.”
The difference lies in whether you react after the damage – or prevent it in advance.

Q&A
1. How is Absorpole 2 L installed in a container?
It is hung vertically inside the container, typically in lashing rings or fixing points. No tools, no electricity, and no structural modifications are required.
2. What does Absorpole 2 L contain?
It contains a hygroscopic granulate that actively attracts and binds moisture from the air, converting it into liquid inside the integrated container.
3. How do I know when it needs to be replaced?
When the granulate has dissolved and the container is filled with collected liquid, it has reached its capacity and should be replaced.
4. Can it be used during transport and long-term storage?
Yes. It is designed for both sea transport and stationary storage in closed containers.
