Desiccants are used as a silica dehumidifier to control moisture in contained environments, including pharmaceuticals, medical, diagnostics, food, electronics, and optical industries. Made of an aluminosilicate 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, vitamins.
- Protect important documents inside safes and lock boxes.
- Protect musical and camera equipment, leather, rubber, copper, etc.
|
|
|
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. |
