DESICCANT BAGS

Our Desi Pak® bentonite clay, Sorb-It® silica gel, and Tri-Sorb® molecular sieve desiccant bags are highly active desiccants packaged in porous materials that allow them to effectively adsorb, sometimes commonly referred to as "absorb," moisture inside packaging or storage containers helping protect packaged goods from moisture damage.

Moisture can quickly affect the value or even destroy many types of valuable goods, causing rust, corrosion, mildew, mold and device malfunction. By sealing goods inside packaging with the appropriate desiccant, goods can be protected from moisture and maintain long shelf lives.

The desiccant reduces the humidity inside a sealed package as soon as they are placed inside.

The absorption capacity is dependent on the relative humidity (r.h.) of the surrounding air.

Placed within a sealed package or container, desiccant bags will protect any number of products, including:

Desiccant bags are available in a variety configurations. Standard bag sizes range from 1/6 unit to 80 units (5½ grams to 2,640 grams).

One Unit of desiccant is equal to 26 grams of silica gel or 33 grams of bentonite.
