Desiccant formats

 

Single bags

This is the most standard and versatile format. The bags are placed directly inside the packaging, ensuring even distribution to absorb moisture throughout the environment. Loose bags are ideal for both individually packed items and larger volumes, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial sectors.

01

Desiccant chains

These consist of a series of bags linked together in a chain. This format is ideal for placement inside long packages or for covering spaces linearly, such as along a row of products or the sides of a container. Chains allow for an even distribution of desiccants across a larger area, ensuring consistent protection against moisture.

02

Adhesive bags

These bags come with an adhesive backing that allows them to be fixed securely inside the packaging. This format ensures that the bags stay in place during transport or storage, preventing them from moving around. Adhesive bags are particularly useful in packaging where space is limited or where order must be maintained during handling.

03

Desiccant panels

These are large sheets of desiccant bags that are laid horizontally, for example, over a pallet or on top of goods within a container. These “blankets” are designed to cover large areas and absorb moisture in wide spaces. This format is common in container transport, where moisture can pose a significant problem, and a large-volume solution is required to protect goods during transit.

04

Large bags for containers

These bags are designed for large-scale applications, particularly in maritime containers or large warehouses. They have a much higher absorption capacity than standard desiccant bags and are made to absorb substantial amounts of moisture in extreme conditions. Typically placed on the walls or ceiling of containers, they protect goods throughout the entire journey.

Benefits of Using Desiccants
1

Preservation

Desiccants extend the shelf life of products such as food by preventing moisture-induced spoilage and degradation.

2

Mould Prevention

By reducing humidity levels, desiccants inhibit the growth of mould and mildew, which can compromise both health and product integrity.

3

Corrosion Prevention

Metal surfaces are vulnerable to corrosion in the presence of moisture. Desiccants shield these surfaces, minimising the risk of corrosion-related damage.

4

Improved Product Performance

In the electronics industry, maintaining optimal humidity levels enhances the performance and longevity of devices, ensuring reliable operation.

Silica Gel
Silica gel is a desiccant made from silicon dioxide, a naturally occurring mineral. The silicon dioxide is purified and then processed into beads or granules. It is one of the most commonly used desiccants because it can absorb water in temperatures up to 220 degrees Fahrenheit and remains the same size once it has absorbed moisture.

 

Bentonite Clay
Made from a naturally occurring mineral called calcium aluminosilicate, bentonite clay is a chemically inert and non-corrosive desiccant. As a result, it will not react to the chemicals in or around products or cause corrosion.
Desiccant clay is more effective in temperatures of up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit and can absorb nearly 30% of its weight in moisture. Like silica gel, bentonite clay stays the same size and shape once it has absorbed water.

 

Calcium Oxide
Also known as quicklime, calcium oxide is calcinated or re-calcinated lime. The calcination process removes any volatile substances, such as carbon dioxide, to make it safer. Calcium oxide can absorb a significant amount of water in low humidity levels compared to other desiccants.

 

Calcium Sulfate
Calcium sulfate is made by dehydrating gypsum. It is a non-corrosive, non-toxic and non-disintegrating desiccant that is chemically stable. It can also withstand higher temperatures and continue to absorb water, making it well-suited for use in laboratories.

 

Molecular Sieve
Molecular sieves are synthetic crystalline aluminosilicates designed to absorb molecules of a specific size. The pore size of the sieve can be designed to attract and retain particular substances based on their molecule size. As a result, molecular sieves are one of the most effective desiccants that can absorb water from other desiccants, including silica gel.

 

Uses of Desiccants
 

Commercial and Industrial Uses

Desiccants are widely used in the commercial and industrial fields to ensure product quality and smooth running of business. One of the most important fields where they are widely used is the field of protective packaging of various consumer goods such as electronics and drugs. Some of the delicate electronic parts are very much affected by moisture, which can lead to moisture damage, corrosion, and short-circuiting. Components such as microprocessors, capacitors, and other sensitive electronic parts are protected by desiccant packs, which include silica gel or molecular sieves to keep the humidity level in the packaging low and maintain a state of dryness.

Residential and Everyday Applications

Desiccants are not only limited to industrial and commercial uses but are used in our everyday lives. In the home, desiccants are used in dehumidifiers to regulate humidity in areas such as the basement, closet, and other enclosed areas. These devices are often fitted with activated alumina or calcium chloride to absorb moisture that can cause mold and moldy smell. These household applications help in enhancing the quality of living in a home by minimizing the chances of mold related diseases and also in preserving the physical stability of the house.

 

FAQ

Q: How long can desiccants last?

A: How Long Do Desiccant Packs Last? The average life span for desiccants is one to three years. Certain factors can affect this time frame, including humidity levels, storage conditions and packaging design.

Q: How many times can desiccant be reused?

A: Desiccants can typically be reused multiple times, depending on their type and how efficiently they are dried. For instance, silica gel can be regenerated and reused numerous times before losing its moisture-absorbing potential.

Q: Are desiccants environmentally friendly?

A: Biodegradable. Unlike synthetic desiccants, natural options are biodegradable. Clay desiccants and activated charcoal break down naturally over time, reducing environmental impact. This makes them an eco-friendly choice for industries aiming to minimize waste.

Q: How do you remove moisture from desiccant?

A: If you've got an oven and some time to spare, that's a great way to go. The oven gives a nice, even heat that wraps around the beads, coaxing the moisture out gently. You'll want to set it to a low heat – about 175 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

Q: Can desiccant be recycled?

A: Just like cardboard, paper, milk jugs, cans, or similar items, Simple Dry can go directly into your “curbside” recycle bin at home. There are other desiccants that claim to be recyclable or made from recyclable material but how they are manufactured makes it very difficult for them to be recycled.

Q: How effective is desiccant?

A: Calcium Chloride: This desiccant is highly effective, with the ability to absorb up to 300% of its weight in moisture. It works best in high-humidity environments, making it ideal for Shipping Cargo Desiccant applications where moisture levels are extreme and sustained.

Q: How do you know if desiccant is bad?

A: Pull the desiccant beads out and squish them between your fingers. If they are very brittle and crumble upon doing so, they're bad and need to be replaced. Take a styrofoam cup, fill it with about 1 inch of desiccant beads, and pour water on them, just enough to cover them or leave a few above the water.
