Why does mold occur? Measures to control it based on its identity and conditions for occurrence / EX-DRY
"What exactly is mold?" Its true nature is a colony of spores. By blocking "humidity" and "time," two of the five conditions for its occurrence, we fundamentally prevent mold incidents.
Why does mold grow in the manufacturing and storage environments of apparel and bags, even with preventive measures in place? The reason lies in the nature of mold. 【What is the true nature of mold (fungi)?】 Mold reproduces by dispersing spores. What we visually recognize as "mold growth" is actually not the mold itself, but rather a "colony" formed by a vast number of spores that have proliferated. This proliferation requires five conditions: "nutrients, oxygen, temperature, humidity, and time," but in typical storage and transportation environments, only "humidity" and "time" can be controlled. 【Solution: Preventing proliferation with EX-DRY】 Mold's growth rate dramatically accelerates when relative humidity exceeds 70%. "EX-DRY" quickly absorbs moisture from the air, maintaining the humidity inside the package below the activity threshold for mold (under 70%). Its greatest feature is that it not only absorbs moisture but also prevents mold from having the "time" necessary to grow into a "visible colony." For concerns like "mold growth despite high-temperature treatment" or "wanting to stabilize quality during maritime transport," "EX-DRY" provides a reliable solution that takes advantage of the mold's growth mechanism.
