In the chemical fertilizer industry, caking (the hardening of granular or crystalline minerals into solid, unpourable blocks) is the leading cause of customer complaints and warehouse loss. Mineral sulphates like Zinc Sulphate and Ferrous Sulphate are naturally hygroscopic, meaning they pull moisture directly from ambient air.
1. The Mechanism of Salt Caking
When relative humidity exceeds the critical relative humidity (CRH) of the salt, microscopic moisture films condense on crystal surfaces, dissolving outer salt layers. As temperature fluctuates, this water evaporates, causing recrystallization bridges to fuse adjacent granules together into a rigid solid block.2. Auron Packaging Engineering Standards
To guarantee 36-month free-flowing shelf life, Auron utilizes advanced moisture-impermeable packaging systems:- •25 kg & 50 kg Dual-Layer HDPE Bags: Virgin high-density woven outer fabric lined with an internal 50-micron co-extruded LDPE poly-liner heat-sealed at the bottom.
- •1,000 kg (1 MT) FIBC Jumbo Bags: UV-stabilized heavy-duty polypropylene woven fabric with cross-corner lifting loops, discharge spouts, and interior barrier liners.
- •Desiccant Integration: Export containers are equipped with industrial moisture-trap desiccant bags to prevent container condensation.
