Kraft Desiccant Packets (Brown Kraft Desiccants)

Desi Pak®Desiccants are used to control moisture in contained environments, including pharmaceuticals, medical, diagnostics, food, electronics, and optical industries. Made of an alumino silicate clay compound which is a natural mineral and is more economical that silica gel. At 20% RH, Desi Pak� will adsorb 50% more moisture than required by Mil-D-3464E, where as silica gel will only adsorb 3.5% more moisture than required by Mil-D-3464E. Desiccant packets are printed with non-toxic ink for FDA food packaging requirements. Desiccants are sold in unit sizes of 1/6, 1/3, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 80. The chart under the pricing is used to estimate the number of packets required for moisture protection.

Common Uses of Desiccants:

  • Protect foods and medicines like popcorn, candy, pills, viatimins.
  • Protect important documents inside safes and lock boxes.
  • Protect musical and camera equipment, leather, rubber, copper, etc.

Copper fittings with and without desiccants

For moisture protection of foods, medicines and exposed electronic components, we recommend white sulfur-free Tyvek® desiccant packets. Tyvek desiccants are sold in same pail and drum sizes as brown Kraft desiccants.
