Superdry Moisture Absorption & Desiccant Kit
 
This is a revolutionary new type of desiccant moisture absorber that will absorb 150% its own weight in moisture. Ideal for combating damp in boats, caravans, sheds, garages, cars and anywhere around the home.

The pack contains 1x1kg Superdry bag and 5x100g Superdry bags. Each Superdry bag contains a high-tech, food-grade polymer that turns to gel as it absorbs moisture. Unlike other silica based products that only absorb between 15-25% of their weight, Superdry is made of calcium chloride and can absorb an amazing 150% of its own weight. This makes it much more efficient than any other desiccant moisture absorber on the market today.

In total this pack will absorb 2.25 litres of moisture. The 1kg bag has a hanging hook and is suitable for large areas up to 10m³, like a boat cabin, and the 100g bags are suitable for areas up to 1m³, like cupboards and drawers.

Each of the Superdry bags in this pack are individually wrapped. Simply remove the wrapping and place the bag in the area to be protected and it will last for up to six weeks before it needs replacing.

The outer bag is made of a one-way, spun-bound Tyvek material that will only allow moisture to travel in. The calcium chloride then turns to gel during the absorption process, which guarantees no leaks of the collected moisture.

When the bag weighs 1.5 times its original weight or is visibly bloated, like risen dough, throw it away and replace it with another.

Superdry was created to protect goods being shipped by sea in large 40ft cargo containers. Several kilos of Superdry are used to maintain a low humidity and ensure the contents of the container aren't damaged by moisture in transit. Now for the first time this very effective dehumidifying product is available for domestic use.

Superdry is 100% safe to use as it is a food-grade material - unlike other silica based products which have been linked to as a cause of cancer.

What is FenderStep?
The high topsides of many modern sailboats and motor yachts often makes it difficult for crew to step aboard either from a marina finger or when boarding from small dinghies.

FenderStep has an inflated PVC construction identical to most yacht fenders,allowing it to be rigged at any time, and importantly, BEFORE, entering a Marina, allowing the crew to safely and easily step ashore onto the pontoon,
without resorting to leaping!

The easy and safe way to board yachts and motor cruisers.
