Tipo de desecante
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.
Desiccants are crucial for combatting moisture damage for either shipping or storage of goods. Desiccants protect goods from damage due to moisture in the following ways: by limiting corrosion (i.e. electronics, machinery), mold growth (i.e. textiles, furniture), clumping (i.e. powders, pharmaceuticals), and decay (i.e. food, leather). Desiccants are usually packaged in permeable bags, sachets, or cartridges, and are used in shipping containers, product packaging, and cabinets/closets to produce/maintain dry environments and extending lifespan. The effectiveness of desiccants is up to the chosen material, the quantity, and the conditions they are used in.
Desecante de gel de sílice
Silica gel desiccant beads offer high moisture absorption capacity, non-toxicity, stability, and reusability (when reactivated) for diverse packaging applications.
Desecante de cloruro cálcico
Highly absorbent salt crystals that extract significant moisture, liquefying as saturated. Ideal for high-humidity environments like shipping containers and bulk storage.
Desecante de cloruro de magnesio
Highly hygroscopic salt that absorbs substantial moisture, liquefying when saturated. Effective in humid environments, similar to calcium chloride but less corrosive.
Desecante de arcilla montmorillonita
Natural clay mineral desiccant offering moderate moisture absorption, non-toxic, dust-free, and stable performance across wide temperature ranges.
Desecante de arcilla de atapulgita
Natural mineral desiccant with moderate absorption, stable at high temperatures, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. Ideal for industrial packaging requiring heat resistance.
Desecante de fibra
Made from plant-based cellulose, offering high absorption, FDA compliance, ultra-thin design for space-sensitive packaging, and eco-friendly disposal (non-toxic, compostable).
