moisture absorbing desiccant
Desiccants are said as those substances which have the ability to absorb moisture and odor. Having excellent absorption capacity it has the capacity to maintain the originality of the product by preventing any microbial activities. Although moisture is present everywhere, but its presence at unnecessary places can prove to be quite disastrous. Most of the desiccants are available in granular or powdered form. The reason that these desiccants are in this form is that in this way it gets more surface area for absorption. This form allows the desiccant to absorb more moisture content from the atmosphere. However these desiccants cannot be used loosely, so they are used in packets. Now the size of the packets depends on the requirement. You must have seen small packets of moisture absorbing desiccant in leather jackets, plastic containers. While at the same time huge bags of desiccants are also used while transportation that is cargo in a ship.

On demand to the desiccant suppliers these packets can also be customized and packed in with combination of other desiccant as well. For example silica gel plus activated carbon can be used in combination to control odor as well as moisture problems. Apart from using them in packets, they are also used in canisters and breathers. These are huge machineries, which has the capacity to absorb huge quantity moisture in big containers.
Desiccants
It is used at places like factories near machineries. Sudden heating and cooling of machines create huge amount of moisture. Moisture is the biggest enemy to machines. If moisture in the atmosphere is above 40%, it is the most suitable situation where corrosion and rusting activities can take place. The best thing of using these desiccants is that once these desiccants indicate to be fully contaminated, it can be reused as well. These desiccants can be again brought back to their original form by heating them over certain temperature.

Desiccants are the most important tools to remove moisture or odor effectively from any unnecessary place. These desiccants not only help to absorb moisture from air but it also removes moist air from both gas and liquids. Presence of moisture at unnecessary places can often prove to be fatal, especially, in case of electronic items. It is very important to protect electronic items from moisture because even a drop of moisture is enough to destroy the whole system. Moisture catches the product mostly as the time of transportation. If the product is saved from moisture at that time it can be endured from rest of the dangers as well. Apart from electronic it can be used for any type of product like cosmetics, sports goods, leather based products, historical artworks, manuscripts and many more.
Desiccant Packets
In the desiccant packets there are different types of desiccants which can be used as per the requirements. Among all the desiccants silica gel is the popular one as it is the most effective. It has the capacity to absorb moisture 4 times of its weight. After the granule is fully contaminated you can be sure of it that the moisture is locked inside them. The packets are made in such a form that moisture can easily enter them but cannot leave as it is locked in the granule.

Definition of Various Types of Desiccants!

Desiccants Packets

Desiccants are the substances which absorb moisture and thus help to retain the freshness of the product. There are several types of desiccants used nowadays like molecular sieves, silica gel, activated alumina and many other as well. The type of desiccant is selected on the basis of the requirement. Moisture is the biggest enemy against retaining the freshness of any item whether it is food, pharmaceutical or even any electronic item. So, among so many desiccants how to decide which one to use? Remember that time when you found small packets in the pocket of your new leather jackets or shoes. The main purpose of keeping the packet is that it helps to absorb odor.

Desiccant Tablets
Desiccant tablets are available in variety of shapes and sizes according to the requirement. It is made in combination of high quality molecular sieves and binders. The best thing about these desiccant tablets is that it can easily function as both desiccant and structural component. As it has high crush strength and higher internal strength as well. If the desiccant is used in tableted form if will provide a controlled dosage and minimize the chances of exposure. By using desiccant tablets we can easily eliminate the threat that the product may get exposure to moisture and hence it with these tablets the effectiveness is retained. The product is used widely for various uses not limited to pharmaceutical, military and communication, diagnostics and many more.

The main purpose of using desiccant canisters is to reduce the effects caused by packaged air. It proves to be an effective tool in various fields like pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industry. These pharmaceutical desiccants are mostly used for the packaging of bottles and tablets. One more reason for its popularity is its high absorption capacity and its idealistic design.
With the help of desiccant canisters the originality and freshness of the product can be easily restrained. It is very safe to use as it is absolutely nontoxic but highly effective, so it can be used in closed contact with food materials and medicines. So, it can be easily used for various products to give the product a longer life. The unique shape and size of the canisters can vary from time to time according to the requirements to get various moisture solutions. These canisters are available in two types labeled and printed ranging from 0.5 to 3 grams. The main purpose of using these canisters is that it is very effective to protect electronic products, optical tools, absorb moist air in hydraulic tanks and reservoirs. T is important to use canisters at these places because as the altitude and temperature of fluid changes, it results in pressure. So, the desiccants functions by absorbing the moist air.

These things reduce the effectiveness of the products.
The best thing about these canisters is that you have various types of options and combinations to use with the canisters. Some type of desiccant materials like activated carbon, molecular sieves, silica gel and clay can be used conveniently according to the requirement. These desiccants can either be used individually or can also be used in combination with two or more desiccants. For example silica gel is used to absorb moisture and activated carbon is used to absorb odor, so by using these two desiccants in the same canisters can serve multipurpose tasks. The desiccants have the capacity to control moisture and with this the products are protected against mold, fungi, rust and various other types of environmental reactions.
