Sensitivity & Safety
- Textiles, dyes, and trims can easily stain, and react with chemicals, and foreign materials can stick to them. Desiccants must be dust-free, leaching-free, and free of any unit mold or pure residue to safely contain sensitive textiles (like silk, leather, and synthetic blends) and to keep products within compliance of local regulations (e.g. Prop 65, REACH)
Degradation Variability
- Moisture does not just inhibit performance by way of dampness; but also can lead to: mold and mildew growth on organic fibers (like: cotton, wool) yellowing/discoloration of whites/synthetics molded metal trims (like: zippers, rivets, snaps) adhesive failure; and musty odors, that hang around. Products require different levels of protection.
Dynamic Environment
- Global supply chains inherently expose goods to extreme changes in humidity and temperature - ocean voyages, stopping in tropical ports, air-freighted freight, long duration storage etc. The desiccants must maintain high absorption capacity and physical characteristics and not prematurely saturate in these very harsh, different environments.
Sustainability
- The industry is under siege for ways to reduce waste for consumption packaging. Desiccants that are plastic or a plastic composite and cannot be recycled, are not aligned with brand eco-initiatives. We need to develop biodegradable, recyclable, or reusable product formats that do not limit performance.

Utilización
Natural Fibers (Cotton, Wool, Linen, Silk)
Resumen de usos
Protecting hygroscopic natural fibers prone to moisture absorption, microbial growth, and physical degradation during storage and transit.
Principales ventajas
- Prevents Mold/Mildew Growth: Actively controls humidity to inhibit fungal and bacterial growth on organic materials, avoiding irreversible stains and fiber damage.
- Maintains Dimensional Stability: Reduces risks of fiber swelling, shrinkage, or distortion caused by ambient moisture uptake during storage.
- Preserves Colorfastness: Protects natural dyes and pigments from bleeding, fading, or discoloration induced by high humidity or condensation.
- Prevents Water Spotting: Shields delicate fabrics like silk and unfinished linen from permanent watermark stains caused by localized moisture exposure.
- Eliminates Musty Odors: Prevents the development of odor-causing microbes that thrive in damp environments on wool and cotton.
Synthetics & Blends (Polyester, Nylon, Viscose, Blended Fabrics)
Resumen de usos
Protecting moisture-sensitive coatings, dyes, and components within synthetic textiles and their blends.
Principales ventajas
- Prevents Color Migration: Reduces humidity-driven dye transfer issues between different fabric layers or printed surfaces.
- Protects Functional Coatings: Prevents delamination, cracking, or loss of water repellency (e.g., DWR finishes) due to moisture absorption in coatings.
- Minimizes Fiber Degradation: Slows hydrolysis of nylon and other polymers sensitive to moisture-induced molecular breakdown.
- - Reduces Fiber Caking: Prevents moisture-related clumping or stiffening of synthetic fibers like rayon or viscose during compression storage.
- Safeguards Elastics: Maintains integrity and elasticity of spandex and other elastomeric fibers vulnerable to hydrolysis.
Leather & Suede
Resumen de usos
Protecting animal hides and finished leather goods sensitive to mold, salt efflorescence, and finish damage from humidity.
Principales ventajas
- Inhibits Mold Growth: Prevents destructive mold colonization on protein-rich leather surfaces and backing materials.
- Prevents Salt Efflorescence: Minimizes migration and crystallization of tanning salts to the surface, avoiding unsightly white blooms.
- Preserves Finish & Softness: Protects surface finishes, dyes, and fatliquors from moisture-induced degradation, preventing hardening or cracking.
- Avoids Staining: Reduces risks of moisture-related dark stains or discoloration, particularly on light-colored or aniline leathers.
- Prevents Odor Absorption: Reduces leather's tendency to absorb and trap musty environmental odors during transit or storage.
Metal Trims & Fasteners (Zippers, Buckles, Snaps, Rivets)
Resumen de usos
Protecting corrosion-prone metal components integrated into textile products.
Principales ventajas
- Prevents Rust & Corrosion: Creates a dry micro-environment to inhibit oxidation and galvanic corrosion on steel, brass, or aluminum fittings.
- Avoids Fabric Staining: Eliminates rust transfer from trims onto surrounding textiles, preserving garment appearance.
- Maintains Functionality: Ensures smooth operation of zippers, clasps, and buckles by preventing corrosion-induced jamming or breakage.
- Protects Plated Finishes: Prevents peeling or tarnishing of decorative metal plating (e.g., gold/silver tones) caused by moisture exposure.
- Uses Targeted Protection: Employes advanced desiccants with vapor phase corrosion inhibitors (VpCI) where direct contact with metal is challenging.
PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES
Embalaje y transporte Desecante
Los desecantes de gel de sílice son necesarios para proteger los productos en tránsito y almacenamiento. Los desecantes de gel de sílice se envasan en bolsitas o botes transpirables y controlan la humedad en contenedores de transporte, cajas de cartón y cajones. El gel de sílice absorbe la humedad del aire ambiente y evita la condensación, el moho, la corrosión del metal y los daños en materiales sensibles a la humedad. El gel de sílice es perfecto para la electrónica, la maquinaria, el arte y los productos de papel, para garantizar que los artículos lleguen en las condiciones adecuadas, independientemente del cambio climático que se haya producido durante la logística del transporte mundial.
Industria electrónica
El gel de sílice es bien conocido por sus propiedades de control de la humedad en la fabricación y el almacenamiento de productos electrónicos. La protección adecuada de los componentes sensibles es fundamental, especialmente en el embalaje de artículos como placas de circuitos, semiconductores o dispositivos ópticos. Mediante el uso de gel de sílice en envases sellados, o armarios sellados, los componentes electrónicos se mantienen en entornos de baja humedad. Esto reduce los riesgos de daños imprevistos en los componentes por oxidación, cortocircuitos eléctricos y fallos de rendimiento de cualquier tipo. Las propiedades del gel de sílice, no corrosivo, exento de polvo y seguro para el contacto directo con piezas delicadas, garantizan un envío y manipulación seguros desde fábrica sin abrir.
Industria farmacéutica
El gel de sílice proporciona una prevención vital contra la humedad en frascos de medicamentos, kits de diagnóstico y como componente del envasado de dispositivos médicos. El gel de sílice cumple los requisitos de la FDA y la farmacopea, y protege comprimidos, cápsulas y reactivos de laboratorio tanto de la degradación causada por la humedad como de niveles elevados de humedad. Y lo que es más importante, el gel de sílice actúa estabilizando los niveles de humedad en entornos sellados, prolongando la vida útil, la esterilidad y la eficacia o viabilidad terapéutica. Los paquetes de gel de sílice no sólo funcionan bien para suavizar los cambios de humedad, sino que también son transparentes, lo que permite una inspección visual. Además, los paquetes de gel de sílice sin cobalto no plantean problemas de toxicidad en aplicaciones deliberadamente sensibles.
