Desiccants are a packaging component used in assisting humid environments by absorbing moisture content from the air. Normally used in shipping, storage or preservation of materials and products, desiccants are used to keep everything from shoes to military ammunitions dry!
Desiccants come in various forms, they can be made utilizing agents, such as montmorillonite clay or silica gel, molecular sieve, and more.
Typically used in transport, storage or maintenance of materials and products, desiccants are used to keep everything from gym shoes to military munition dry.
The customer’s requirement is: RH of the air in the bottle should be kept in the range of 25°C, RH30~40%, and ensure that the moisture content of the pills are kept stable.
