Bamboo charcoal comes
from old bamboo, by heating under high
temperature, and elaborate burn-made.
The fabric of bamboo charcoal, with
multi-porosity, contains abundant substance.
Bamboo charcoal will produce tiny
pores after heating under high temperature,
and these pores expands to a large area
the same as a pool. That is why bamboo
charcoal has strong absorbing ability.
The vascular bundle of bamboo charcoal
is double size and more than wood charcoal,
and BET is three times bigger than that
of wood charcoal. What is more, the
absorbing effect of bamboo charcoal
is eight times greater than wood charcoal.
Besides, bamboo charcoal can resist
bacterium, adjust moisture, remove odor,
and it also can control bad chemical
gas and element from decoration material,
such as ammonia, formaldehyde, VOC,
benzene, DTI, and cadmium etc. This
property has important assistant for
transportation. For example:
This is water vapor in the air condensing
or forming on the inside surfaces
of the container when moving from
tropical or temperate climates to
cooler areas. The effect or onset
of corrosion is a function of many
variables where humidity and time
are also present. A fixed humidity
level cannot be stated because of
the variables, however the lower the
humidity the better.
The type of goods to be protected
must be considered when to remove
the amount of water or relative humidity.
This in-turn will determine the quantity
of bamboo charcoal bag required in
a container to reduce and hold the
humidity at a level that will not
cause damage or deterioration to the
products in the container. Fungi,
moulds and mildew do not usually cause
any problems below approximately 55%
Relative Humidity.
This depends upon:
· The weather during the voyage.
· The duration of the voyage.
· Type of goods, commodities or materials
in the container.
· The condition of the container.
· The sensitivity of the goods.
· Moisture inherent in the floor and/or
wooden or other types of pallets or
packaging materials |
