Moisture-Proofing Chemical Packaging in Thailand: Drum Structural Strength Becomes the Decisive Factor

Moisture-Proofing Chemical Packaging in Thailand: Drum Structural Strength Becomes the Decisive Factor

2025-04-27

Thailand’s coastal and central regions maintain high year-round humidity, exposing chemical packaging to heat, moisture, and salt-laden air. For pool disinfectants, inadequate moisture barriers allow absorption during storage, which worsens into caking during sea freight. Once a drum softens from humidity, compression strength drops, causing deformation, cracking, or collapse under stacking pressure. In practice, exporters face a chain failure where moisture and strength problems reinforce each other.

Thai exporters are therefore prioritizing structural strength first, then moisture reinforcement. Fiber drums stand out structurally: dense wound-fiber walls maintain ring crush strength even in humid air; the round body disperses side pressure from containers; reinforced bases absorb drop impact during port handling. With moisture-barrier liners added, the drum becomes a dual-protection system against humidity and load.

As Thailand’s chemical exports expand, the packaging principle of “stabilize structure before controlling moisture” is becoming an industry norm—especially for pool disinfectants, coating additives, and water-treatment chemicals.
