Desi Dry ( Type A ) Silica Gel pouches

Desi Dry

The evergreen among the desiccants is Desi Dry with its silica gel filling. The compact packaging units make it the ideal companion for sensitive goods, as they can be inserted directly into small product packages.

The Desi Dry desiccant pouches protect your goods – from electronic appliances to leather and fabrics – against moisture damage like mould infestation, corrosion and others during transport and storage. Desi Dry reliably shields the goods from condensation damage during short transports through different climate zones.

Desi Dry also comes with the warning "Do not eat" to ensure that it cannot be mistaken for food.

How does Desi Dry work?

Desi Dry consists of spherical silica gel with narrow pores that are filled into small pouch units. The vitreous, amorphous silicates are approximately 98 % silicon dioxide. Silica gel has a particularly high capacity for adsorbing moisture due to its large inner surface, The silica gel is strongly hygroscopic, a property that allows is to bind water molecules. Here, the water remains chemically unchanged and detaches easily during regeneration.

Desi Dry desiccant is able to adsorb approx. 1/3 of its own weight in moisture, regardless of the pouch material.

How is Desi Dry used?

The Desi Dry desiccant pouches are inserted right into the individual product packaging units to protect the goods directly against moisture damage. In this regard, the small pouch units ensure easy handling and flexible positioning adjacent to the products.

Desi Dry Type A Silica Gel (low-dust)

Desi Dry Type A Silica Gel is filled into 0.5 g to 250 g pouches. The envelope is a paper and non-woven bond. It is described as low-dust, as the abrasion between the small beads produces very few dust particles that can pass through the outer material. According to DIN 55473, low-dust means that no more than 10 mg of dust per desiccant unit may pass through the envelope. Here, a desiccant unit (DU) describes the quantity of desiccant needed to absorb at last 6.0 g of water vapour at 23 °C (± 2 °C) air temperature and 40 % relative humidity.

• Pouch sizes: 0,5 g, 1 g, 2 g, 5 g, 10 g, 30 g, 60 g, 100 g, 250 g
