  • MIL-D-3464E TYPE I & II MIL SPEC Desiccant Humidity Control

    Desiccant packets contain moisture-absorbing ingredients — typically bentonite clay or silica gel. Porous materials like Tyvek or kraft paper hold the absorbent elements so they can draw from the air in the shipping container. Besides water, desiccants can also absorb aromatic substances such as carbon dioxide and carbon-12, providing excellent odor control. Desiccant bags are available in sizes ranging from 1/6 unit to 80 units (5 ½ grams to 2,640 grams).

    If you’re shipping products on a long journey, you may have concerns about whether the desiccant packet will protect the goods throughout the trip. To help accomplish this, it’s possible to combine them with humidity indicator cards. These items include a moisture-sensitive chemical that changes colors when detecting humidity. Pink is the color normally used to identify this condition and indicate the need for a replacement packet.
