Desiccant, drybag, granular desiccant, moisture particle, silica gel, or desiccant packet are widely used in life, it has the ability to absorb and retain moisture inside itself, making the air in the product packaging control good humidity as desired in order to preserve goods is safe, long-term, free from moisture, mold, rust, etc…..
The main ingredient is calcium chloride (CaCl2), with a high moisture absorption rate, from 200% to 400% of its weight
The main ingredient is clay mixed with calcium chloride or lime CaO in proportion, the ability to absorb moisture over 80% of its weight.
Granular and round with gray, the main ingredient is pure clay mixed with additives, the ability to absorb moisture 40% of its weight
The main ingredient is SiO2, the ability to absorb moisture 27% of its weight
SOME NOTES:
If you already know the importance of using a desiccant package in long-distance maritime transport, the shipping time is about 1-2 months such as going from Asia to Europe or going to the US …, but you do not use the desiccant packets for shorter shipments then maybe you should think again, moisture damage can happen in just a few days, rust can form in 4-5 days, mold growth germinates within 1-2 days, spreads within 2 weeks and then packaging may deteriorate overnight. So essentially we should use desiccant packs in all shipping situations, whenever your goods are at risk of being exposed to humidity or fluctuating temperatures. Power Dry desiccant package helps protect your goods from damage by moisture in all forms of transportation whether by sea or land, you must use a desiccant pack.
Note: When you open the desiccant carton box to take out the desiccant packages to use, absolutely do not use knives, scissors, or sharp objects to open, because it is easy to cut too deep into the box, it causes tearing of the desiccant packages inside in the box.
Please instruct workers to put desiccant packages in the box as follows:
Let the surface of the desiccant pack with the word (THIS SIDE DOWN) in blue come in contact with the product, the white side without the letters facing up does not come into contact with the product, so when we open the box to check, we will see the white side, no letter of the desiccant package as shown below:
Blue text side to put in direct contact with the product
( THIS SIDE DOWN )
White side with no letters facing up
In case the desiccant packs are not used up we can tie them up tightly for the next use, because in the cartons, each PE bag containing the desiccant packs has a string tied at the mouth of the PE bag.
Note: Unused desiccant packs must always be tightly tied in PE bags to absolutely prevent air from entering the bag.
METHODS OF PRESERVATION:
Place desiccants boxes on pallets in a cool, dry, water-free environment.
download user manualThe principle of operation of the desiccant package:
When you put the desiccant package inside the box, it will absorb the moisture inside the box with immediate effect so that the goods will not be moldy, and it becomes gel (paste). Moisture is water, it will mix with the powder inside the desiccant package and become a liquid or viscous gel, so the desiccant package will be in the form of liquid or pasty gel when you open the box to check, it is a normal state of the desiccant package, do not ask the factory to discard it to replace the new one.
In case of the desiccant package in the form of a hard gel, it means that the desiccant pack has absorbed all the moisture inside the box and the moisture does not arise inside the box anymore, so the desiccant packages will harden, you also do not throw away and do not ask the factory to replace the new one in this case.
If the desiccant package is getting more and more liquid gel, it shows that the surrounding moisture arises a lot, especially in the rainy season with high humidity so it forces to absorb as much moisture around it in order to surround the environment of the goods are not wet, these cases usually arise when the finished product has been packed and waited in the warehouse before export, because the warehouse is always opened and closed continuously so the moisture will continuously overflow in the warehouse and the desiccant package must operate continuously, it is always in the state of liquid gel, it only becomes a hard gel when the goods are packed in containers and closed container doors or when the humidity in the warehouse is low.
There are some QC when opening the box to see that the desiccant package in liquid or hard gel state is considered to be damaged and requires the factory to throw away to replace the new one, please do not do it because it will cost the factory money.
To prove that the desiccant package is still usable, you can verify the following; you can open a few boxes and then take out a few desiccant packages that have been in the form of a pasty gel that you think is damaged, place the desiccant packages in a glass jar and close the lid or place the desiccant package in a sealed plastic box on your desk for a few days, then open the lid and take it out you will see the packages harden like ice gel, if you put this desiccant pack on your desk for a few days then it is soft like the initial liquid gel state, that’s the principle of operation of the desiccant package.
Note: this desiccant pack can be used for up to 3 months to be saturated and no longer absorbed.
