When you’ve worked hard to create something, you want to make sure that it stays in the best condition for as long as possible, especially if you have produced it for someone else and there is going to be a journey of some sort involved. One of the main types of damage products can face that leave them almost unrecognizable and unusable is corrosion. Fortunately, there are many solutions that can help with this dilemma. Here we explore options available on the market.
Barrier Bags
Barrier bags are manufactured to any size and come in a variety of styles. They are made from multi-layer aluminium laminates and ensure contents are safe from moisture and outside contamination. The bags are best used with a heat sealer, which provides a fully hermetic seal.
Heat Sealers
Using heat, a heat sealer device binds two materials together. Heat sealers work best when one of the materials is thermoplastic. Heat sealing is popular in many areas and is a necessity in industries such as food production and pharmaceuticals.
Desiccant Packs
Desiccant packs are designed to absorb any residual moisture that is sealed into the barrier bag. This ensures relative humidity stays well below 40%, the level at which corrosion can begin to occur. Activated clay desiccant is a naturally occurring desiccant that can also be re-used if correctly reversed.
Carton liners
Carton liners are a good idea if you are packaging using boxes, Gaylord boxes, crates or cartons. The liners are made from either Polyethylene or Barrier Foil. Barrier foil liners are used when the product inside is particularly sensitive or hygroscopic. Barrier foil or multi-layer aluminium laminates have a transmission rate that it is 80 times lower than Polyethylene liners.
Cushioning
A variety of cushioning is available on the market, including bubble wrap and air pillows. For quality cushioning that protects and is easy to apply, self-adhesive polyethylene cushioning is the answer. The material instantly connects with a number of different surfaces providing instant fortification.
