VirdiSorb™ Cargo Moisture Control
As a trusted distribution partner in Ireland and the UK, Abco Kovex supplies VirdiSorb container desiccants. A proven solution designed to actively control moisture and protect cargo throughout the entire journey.
Stronger absorption. Zero leaks. Proven protection.
VirdiSorb™ is a high-performance cargo moisture control solution, engineered to outperform traditional desiccants such as silica gel, clay, and calcium chloride in demanding shipping and storage environments. Designed for use in shipping containers, transit packaging, and long-distance logistics, it actively absorbs excess humidity and helps prevent condensation, mould, corrosion, and costly cargo damage. By locking moisture into a stable, leak-free form, VirdiSorb™ provides reliable, long-lasting protection throughout the entire journey, even in extreme temperatures and high-humidity conditions.
Designed for demanding environments, it absorbs more than 200% of its own weight and converts moisture into a non-leaking solid, helping protect cargo throughout transit. It delivers reliable performance for up to 12 weeks and operates effectively across a wide temperature range from -5°C to 60°C.
The Real Cost of Moisture Damage
Moisture damage goes well beyond lost product. It leads to customer complaints, insurance claims, investigations, delays, and lasting damage to your reputation.
One of the main causes is container rain. This happens when temperature changes inside a shipping container create condensation. As warm air cools, moisture forms on the container’s ceiling and walls, eventually dripping down onto the cargo.
The result is avoidable but costly: mould growth, corrosion, damaged packaging, and rejected shipments.
Why Choose VirdiSorb™ for Cargo Protection
High-Performance Moisture Control for Shipping & Storage
- Absorbs over 200% of its own weight for maximum moisture protection in transit
- Leak-proof design with no re-release, keeping cargo dry from start to finish
- Locks moisture into a stable, non-corrosive solid, preventing damage to goods and packaging
- Reliable performance in changing temperature and humidity conditions
- Provides up to 12 weeks of continuous protection during shipping and storage
- Requires up to 90% less material than traditional desiccants, reducing waste and cost
Better moisture control. Lower risk. Fewer damaged shipments and claims.
Why Traditional Desiccants Aren’t Always Enough
Older materials increase risk where it isn’t needed.
Clay Desiccants
Limited absorption capacity and inconsistent performance make clay unreliable for long-haul or high-humidity shipments.
Silica Gel
Low absorption and prone to early saturation, silica gel struggles to protect cargo in fluctuating container conditions.
Calcium Chloride
Highly absorbent but forms corrosive liquid brine, creating leak risks and potential cargo damage.
