Many companies who are involved in the manufacturing industry use desiccant packs in conjunction with flat bags and pouches or other types of packaging to transport their product to the customer.
Desiccant is placed with the packaged products in order to absorb any amount of existing water vapor, no matter how small, that may be trapped within the product and packaging. This ensures that the product reaches the customer in the best condition possible.
Desiccant, in a carefully calculated amount, is placed into barrier foil bags in order to remove any water vapor that may be present. It may also be used to neutralize those small amounts of water vapor that may be able to pass through the barrier foil.
We offer desiccant packs – which is available as activated clay – to be used to maintain the quality of your products. Our range of desiccant packs have a wide variety of applications for both commercial and military products.
Our desiccant bags can provide you with measurable pack performance when it is used in conjunction with barrier foil liners.

For temperate climates: W = 11ARM + DF
For tropical climates: W = 40ARM + DF
BRITISH STANDARDS BS1133-SECTION 19
Formula:
W = Weight in grams of basic desiccant
A = Area in square meters of the moisture vapour barrier
R = Water vapour transmission rate of the barrier in grams per square meter in 24 hours, measuring at 90% of RH and 38 ° C (100 ° F)
M = Maximum time in months of transit and storage
D = Weight in grams of blocking packaging, impact damping and any other hygroscopic packaging materials that are inside the barrier (including cardboard, timber, foam etc.)
F = Factor, depending on the type of stowage
