Clay desiccant bags are used for removing moisture from enclosed spaces like shipping and storage containers. Clay desiccants work well in temperatures of up to 120°F; above which the clay desiccant may release moisture back into the container. To remove water from liquid or gas, use molecular sieve packets. The capacity for water adsorption of a molecular sieve desiccant is 22% of its weight.
It is important to know that desiccant is not edible. Desiccant packets come in many different configurations and sizes, usually in packets of 1 gm to 25 gm. They are used in different industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, electronics, textile, stationery, agriculture, leather, etc. the desiccant packets increase the shelf-life of food items by preventing spoilage, fungus, bacteria and keep the food fresh for a long period.
