How to distinguish the good and bad of desiccant?
1.Judging from appearance, desiccant of good quality has neat appearance, printing, moderate width of sealing, no clip material and full of raw materials.
2. Judging from the packaging material, the good quality desiccant packaging material is thin and uniform, without spots, smooth surface and high strength, the poor quality package material is uneven in thickness, even individual places can obviously see the raw materials, the surface is rough, there are colour spots, rubbing with hands there are fibres falling off, colour loss is serious, squeezing with hands will crack from the seal, easy to tear.
3. Tear open and check the raw materials, good quality desiccant particles are uniform, hand touch will produce heat, but poor quality desiccant feels less obvious, impurities and particles are more.
4. Moisture absorption rate test, if the condition allows, punish the original weight of desiccant, then place it in a humid environment, naturally absorb moisture for 48 hours and then weigh it. The weight of good quality desiccant will increase obviously, then dry it under 105 degree Celsius and weigh it again after three hours. If it is lower than the original weight, it proves that the desiccant does not meet the industry nominal weight and is of inferior quality.
What is a southerly day?
A southerly day is a unique weather condition in the southern coast, especially in Guangdong and Guangxi, when the temperature warms up and the humidity rises sharply, causing a return to dampness at the turn of winter and spring.
When the weather is 'southerly', the air is nearly saturated with humidity and everywhere is wet: soggy floors, dripping walls, foggy window panes .... It's as if the air is drenched in moisture!
How shoe and clothing companies can cope with the return of southern weather
① Monitor the roofs of offices, workshops and warehouses for water seepage, leakage and accumulation, and deal with them promptly.
②Check the drainage facilities in the factory to ensure that the drainage equipment is intact.
③Ensure that doors and windows can be fully sealed when closed, and install curtains to block the intrusion of outside water vapour if necessary.
④Keep the factory floor dry and tidy, and do a good job of preventing moisture on the floor; if necessary, use hot salt water to mop the floor to speed up the evaporation of moisture.
⑤ Take appropriate stacking measures according to the nature of the materials; place packages and finished products at least 60cm from the wall, 15cm from the floor and 1m from doors and windows, and use plastic pads or place them on shelves; seal unused packages in good time.
⑥ The placement of raw materials and semi-finished products, in order to avoid being rained on or soaked, the area where the materials are placed should pay attention to the seepage of water from the roof and external walls, and do a good job of checking for water accumulation and cracks, and deal with them in a timely manner.
Dehumidification method
Intermittent ventilation method: open windows and ventilate on sunny days to accelerate the rate of water evaporation; on cloudy days, only downwind doors and windows need to be opened to reduce water vapour into the room; (morning and evening air water are relatively large, it is not recommended to open windows;)
Use of dehumidifiers: dehumidification/moisture control work needs to be carried out promptly if the humidity is above 60%.
Use warehouse desiccant to absorb moisture:
Topone’s TOP-1000 desiccant can absorb moisture in the air and goods in all directions, at least up to 300% of its own weight, absorb moisture for up to 3 months or more, the effect of moisture absorption is obvious, avoiding the outer box of the carton from being damp and soft; you can also use Topone’s CASANO PLUS, dehumidification, antibacterial, double effect control.
If you look carefully, whether the garment is sold domestically or abroad, many garment bags now have a small packet of desiccant inside. Whether it is a T-shirt, jeans, dress or leather jacket, the desiccant can be found inside the bag.
Clothing has a much higher moisture content than normal metal, electronic and other products, and if it is a leather garment, then the amount of desiccant needs to be increased. Garments have a high water content and are prone to mold, so it is very important to pay attention to moisture control; in addition to this, garments are different from other products, any occurrence of moisture will bring direct damage, such as fading, wrinkling, deformation and so on, which will make the most fashionable and latest design of garments turn into tailor-made goods and disposal goods.
For products such as clothing that are sensitive to moisture, we generally recommend that the production process, storage and transport are all done to minimise the occurrence of moisture. In the production process, without affecting the quality of the garment style, it is important to select textile fabrics and garment accessories that contain as little water as possible, so as to minimise the water content of the garment fabric and avoid the problem of moisture.
In the storage process is also not to ignore the work of moisture control. It is recommended that garment enterprises choose Topone desiccant, Topone was founded in 1995 and is one of the first enterprises in China to produce dry and mildew-proof products. Since its inception, mainly engaged in anti-mold, anti-bacterial, moisture, deodorant products of research and development manufacturing, aimed at providing customers with shoes and clothing, bags, furniture, gift packaging and other products anti-mold comprehensive solutions.
The summer weather is hot and humid, suitable for a variety of bacteria, germs breeding breeding, home clothing is easy to moisture, then, in this weather we should how to prevent mold?
01 Ways to prevent moisture
