To be most effective desiccants should be used
within a
closed/sealed moisture barrier or a rigid, sealed container.
Often a Humidity Control Card is placed inside the package to show
humidity levels and indicate when the desiccant needs to be replaced.
 Determining
Types and Quantities of Required Desiccant
1. Identify the type of container or bag the product is packaged in
2. Calculate the volume or area of the container
3. Determine the amount required using a “Desiccant Requirement Chart”
4. Select the type of desiccant to fit the application based on one of
the following:
• Amount of moisture to be absorbed
• Permeability of packaged material
• Temperature and humidity
• Rate of absorption required
• Requires container shelf life
• Shipping and storage conditions
• Cost
Desiccants provide low cost insurance, so as a safety measure
customers will often use more desiccant than is required.
