Application of Desiccants in Furniture Industry

As we all know, furniture is made of wood, which may be damp and moldy after a long time, and the wood will be damaged. Whether you are storing or transporting it, you need to do a good job of moisture-proof treatment.

Here are a few prevention tips:

1. Control the moisture content of wood when feeding. For furniture exported to Europe and the United States, the moisture content of wood is required to be controlled within the range of 8~12%.

2. Significantly shorten the time for storage in the warehouse. If thousands of wood are placed for about 7 days, it is easy to increase the moisture content by 1%-2% due to the absorption of moisture in the air.

3. Placing a desiccant bag with strong moisture absorption capacity on the sofa can reduce the relative humidity of the air inside the sofa to a certain extent.

4. When exporting the container, hang the container desiccant in the container to reduce the relative humidity of the air inside the container, so as to avoid container rain and product mold.

What kind of desiccant is used for furniture to prevent moisture?

1. Silica gel desiccant

The component of the silica gel desiccant is silicon dioxide, which is a kind of drying agent refined from natural minerals. As a desiccant, its structure also has a very good ability to absorb moisture. The indoor temperature can reduce the relative humidity of the environment to about 40%.

2. Clay desiccant

The appearance of clay desiccant is a gray ball, suitable for absorbing moisture in an environment below 50℃. When the temperature exceeds 50℃, the water resistance of the clay is greater than the absorption. But the advantage is that they are very cheap. This ingredient is also common in current furniture desiccants.

3. Mineral desiccant

Mineral desiccant is made from a variety of minerals, and it is a kind of gray-white ball in appearance. It is a non-toxic, non-hazardous, decomposable environmental desiccant with a moisture absorption rate of more than 50%, which is twice that of silica gel desiccant. It is very powerful in terms of hygroscopic ability, which is many times that of ordinary desiccants. In addition, the product is safe and affordable, making it ideal for many biological, healthy food, and pharmaceuticals.
