    Dehumidification Helping Businesses Save Significant Money

    Discover how dehumidification saves production facilities and warehouses exponential time and money

    Every year, businesses lose money by damage to their valuable inventory from excess humidity; both, before reaching the end customer and through returns.

    Due to various environmental factors, high humidity, excess moisture in the air, and extreme indoor environments are known to compromise the integrity of products and their packaging. Poor air quality and indoor climate are also responsible for introducing contaminants in or on products, eventually affecting manufacturers and distributors’ operations and bottom line.

    How excessive humidity affects product quality

    • Absorbed water or salt can affect the appearance and effectiveness of a product
    • Changes in the chemical composition of a product
    • Weakens, softens, or warps packaging, including the shape of the packaging
    • Introduces contaminants: Mold, mildew, viruses, bacteria, and mites have an opportunity to grow and spread on, or in products and packaging.
    • Causes surface corrosion, or rust to internal parts of products
    • Shortens shelf life on certain types of products

    Appearance of products

    “The appearance of a product influences consumer product choice in several ways. A product’s appearance can have aesthetic and symbolic value for consumers, can communicate functional characteristics and give a quality impression (functional value), and can communicate ease of use (ergonomic value).”

    Goods and their packaging that have absorbed too much moisture can affect its overall appearance to changes in the texture and how it is supposed to feel.

    How humidity affects business operations

    Processed foods, supplements, and pharmaceutical products that have absorbed too much moisture can clog machinery, causing downtime and negatively affecting production. With regards to supplements and medication, temperature and humidity levels can also contribute to the product’s effectiveness.

    Optimal indoor climate and humidity levels also make working conditions healthier and more comfortable for employees and visitors.

    Enabling a climate control system ensures indoor air quality conditions towards safety and quality standards are met and maintained, benefiting both manufacturers and distributors.
