Storing products in humid places — cellars, containers, lean-to buildings or garages — can quickly cause mould, deterioration and corrosion. To protect your assets, it is essential to put in place appropriate solutions.
Why humidity is a storage problem
Humidity favors:
- The deterioration of cardboard and paper.
- The appearance of mold on sensitive fabrics and materials.
- Corrosion of metal objects.
Even temporary storage in a poorly ventilated room can lead to significant damage.
Humidity protection solutions for your products
1. Dehumidify the room
The most effective method is to reduce the ambient humidity with a dehumidifier. Electrical devices allow precise control of relative humidity and ensure overall product protection.
2. Use airtight containers
- Give priority to plastic or metal boxes rather than cardboard.
- Fill containers outside the humid room to avoid trapping humid air inside.
3. Add desiccants to the inside of containers
- Les silica beads are effective but need to be replaced regularly.
- Air Sponge is a practical and reusable solution. It absorbs moisture quickly and regenerates itself in a few hours in a dry room or in a few minutes in the microwave.
Summary and recommendations
To protect your stored products:
- Dehumidify the room if possible.
- Store in tight, sturdy containers.
- Use high-performance, reusable moisture absorbents.
With Air Sponge, you combine efficiency, ease of use and economy, while ensuring a humidity control optimal for your sensitive products.
