WHY USE DESICCANT?
Protecting the contents of a package, container or any enclosure from moisture has been a problem ever since people began to collect, store and transport their possessions. As we have all seen, moisture, whether trapped inside a sealed enclosure or entering it over time, can result in expensive losses due to mold, corrosion, short circuits, etc. Using Desiccators, which contain desiccant, is the most cost-effective way to remove moisture, both initially and over extended periods of time. WHAT IS DESICCANT? Desiccant is an adsorbent (not an absorbent), that is, it attracts water vapor molecules, which adhere to its surface. Since most desiccants can hold up to a maximum 35% of their weight in moisture before losing their effectiveness, they must trap the moisture while it is still in a water vapor form, before it can condense (become liquid) and cause damage. Some of the more common desiccants are: (A) Silica Gel, which can be supplied in bags, bulk or desiccators. Used in moderate to h
