Desiccant Type

Buy Desiccants

A desiccant is a substance that attracts moisture from the air, thereby controlling humidity and preventing moisture from coming in contact with items. Desiccants can be divided into four types- one that is silica gel (small, porous, and attractive beads), one that is calcium chloride (high capacity salt crystals), montmorillonite clay (which is a natural mineral), and one that is cellulose-based (which is a biodegradable fiber product). Each type of desiccant will vary in absorption time, absorption capacity, and temperature range effectiveness.

Silica Gel Desiccant

Silica gel desiccant beads offer high moisture absorption capacity, non-toxicity, stability, and reusability (when reactivated) for diverse packaging applications.

Calcium Chloride Desiccant

Highly absorbent salt crystals that extract significant moisture, liquefying as saturated. Ideal for high-humidity environments like shipping containers and bulk storage.

Magnesium Chloride Desiccant

Highly hygroscopic salt that absorbs substantial moisture, liquefying when saturated. Effective in humid environments, similar to calcium chloride but less corrosive.

Montmorillonite Clay Desiccant

Natural clay mineral desiccant offering moderate moisture absorption, non-toxic, dust-free, and stable performance across wide temperature ranges.

Attapulgite Clay Desiccant

Natural mineral desiccant with moderate absorption, stable at high temperatures, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. Ideal for industrial packaging requiring heat resistance.

Fiber Desiccant

Made from plant-based cellulose, offering high absorption, FDA compliance, ultra-thin design for space-sensitive packaging, and eco-friendly disposal (non-toxic, compostable).
