Industry Challenges
egulatory & Safety Compliance
- Meeting strict global regulations (FDA, EMA) for biocompatibility, safety (e.g., USP Class VI), and purity.
- Ensuring minimal leachables/extractables and comprehensive traceability.
- Proving safety for direct contact with drugs/devices, critical for all types (silica, montmorillonite, fiber, Ca/Mg chlorides).
Material Performance & Integrity
- Maintaining ultra-high material purity across all desiccant types to prevent product contamination.
- Ensuring compatibility with protected products (e.g., avoiding corrosion from chlorides like CaCl₂/MgCl₂, dusting from clays like attapulgite/montmorillonite).
- Preventing physical degradation (e.g., breakage, dusting) that could harm devices/drugs.
Packaging & Process Requirements
- Developing robust packaging (e.g., Tyvek® for silica gel, fiber) that withstands sterilization (gamma, ETO, e-beam) without failing.
- Minimizing linting/dust generation during handling and use (particularly relevant for clay desiccants vs. fiber).
- Ensuring packaging integrity maintains sterility barrier and desiccant function.
Validation & Performance Assurance
- Accurately calculating required desiccant capacity/correct type for diverse products and climate conditions.
- Demonstrating consistent and predictable adsorption performance across the product shelf life.
- Validating performance under real-world conditions with complex protocols.

Usage
Pharmaceutical Packaging (Vials, Blister Packs)
Usage Overview
Desiccants (primarily silica gel and molecular sieves) are integrated into pharmaceutical packaging to protect moisture-sensitive drugs, tablets, and capsules from degradation.
Key Advantages
- Stability Maintenance: Prevents hydrolysis and maintains chemical integrity of active pharmaceutical ingredients
- Extended Shelf Life: Creates optimal low-humidity environments for hygroscopic medications
- Regulatory Compliance: USP/EP-grade silica gel meets pharmacopeia standards for direct drug contact
- Clean Operation: Non-dusting fiber desiccants prevent contamination in automated blister packing lines
Medical Device & Instrument Protection
Usage Overview
Montmorillonite, attapulgite, and silica gel canisters protect surgical tools, electronic equipment, and optical devices during sterilization, storage, and shipping.
Key Advantages
- Corrosion Prevention: Clay desiccants (montmorillonite/attapulgite) absorb moisture that causes metal instrument rust
- Electronics Safeguarding: Silica gel protects sensitive circuitry in diagnostic machines from humidity damage
- Physical Resilience: Non-friable formats resist breakage during device handling and transportation
- Sterilization Compatibility: Desiccant packaging maintains integrity after gamma/ETO sterilization cycles
Diagnostic Reagent & Test Kit Preservation
Usage Overview
Silica gel and fiber desiccants preserve accuracy of diagnostic strips, reagents, and lateral flow test kits in hermetically sealed pouches.
Key Advantages
- Moisture-Sensitive Protection: Prevents premature activation of enzyme-based reagents
- Low Particulate: Fiber desiccants eliminate dust interference with microfluidic test components
- Uniform Performance: Provides consistent humidity control across varying temperature conditions
- Compact Integration: Slim-profile sachets fit within small test kit packaging without compromising function
Implantables & Sterile Barrier Systems
Usage Overview
High-purity calcium chloride (CaCl₂), magnesium chloride (MgCl₂), and silica gel maintain dry environments in sterile barrier packaging for implants and single-use devices.
Key Advantages
- Biocompatibility Assurance: Ultra-pure chlorides prevent leachables in direct implant contact scenarios
- High-Capacity Protection: Calcium chloride provides superior moisture absorption in long-term storage
- Temperature Resilience: Magnesium chloride maintains adsorption efficiency at elevated temperatures
- Sterility Maintenance: Compatible with all sterilization methods without generating endotoxins
