WHAT IS A DESICCANT AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
A desiccant is a dehumidifying agent which attracts moisture from the atmosphere. It adsorbs and holds particles of water to itself.
The three most common types of desiccants are clay, silica gel, and molecular sieve.


HOW DO DESICCANTS WORK?
Performance packaging means trapping moisture around products that must be manufactured, stored, shipped, sold, or used in a dry condition. Moisture causes:


- clumping
- condensation
- corrosion
- flash rust
- mildew
- mold
- potency loss
- rust
- shelf-life degradation
Moisture can ruin products in several ways. Our job is to prevent moisture damage. A desiccant adsorbs moisture and we specialize in desiccants for very sensitive products that require highly-effective protection and sanitary conditions. It is important to understand how the desiccant does its job of protecting the product. Most porous adsorbents, such as silica gel, activated clay or molecular sieves rely upon physical adsorption rather than chemical adsorption to accomplish their function.

WHAT SIZE OF DESICCANTS DOES ONE NEED?
It depends on the size of the air space to be dried, the nature of the material in the package, the moisture barrier surrounding the package, the type of desiccant being used, the desired shelf life, the atmosphere conditions where the package is sealed and stored and the type of seal on the package.
Please refer to our Desiccant Requirements Chart

HOW DO DESICCANTS PROTECT PRODUCTS/ PACKAGES?
In order to achieve optimal protection, desiccants should be used within a closed/sealed moisture barrier or a rigid/sealed container. Humidity Indicator Cards are generally placed inside the container to show the humidity level and to indicate when the desiccant needs to be replaced.

CAN MOISTURE BE CONTROLLED INSIDE A SHIPPING CONTAINER?
Yes. Whether shipping by sea, rail or truck, moisture and condensation can damage products while en route to their destinations. We offer a full line of solutions to help shippers control moisture in transit. To keep products dry, PDI container desiccant controls dew point, preventing condensation and container rain inside shipping containers, trailers, or rail cars.
