A desiccant is a material used to absorb moisture from the air inside a sealed package. Commonly found in pouch or cartridge form, it helps protect moisture-sensitive products such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, foods, or metal parts.

Creopack provides a complete range of desiccant solutions, including:

• Silica gel
• Activated clay
• Molecular sieves
• Container or equipment cartridges
• Desiccants with built-in humidity indicators

Humidity indicators provide a visual check of relative humidity levels within packaging or enclosed environments. They change color when humidity crosses a specific threshold, making it easier to monitor storage conditions.

Desiccants are widely used in:

• Pharmaceuticals (blisters, vials, pouches)
• Electronics (PCBs, semiconductors)
• Food (dry or freeze-dried products)
• Metals and corrosion-sensitive materials
• Museums, textiles, and archival preservation

Effectiveness depends on the type of desiccant, initial humidity, and packaging volume. Properly sized, it can provide protection for several months to over a year in sealed conditions.

Consider the following factors:

• Product sensitivity to moisture
• Packaging volume
• Storage duration
• Environmental conditions

Creopack can guide you to the optimal solution for your application.

Yes. Creopack’s desiccants meet major industrial standards, including MIL-D-3464, NF H00-310, and, in some cases, FDA compliance. They are safe to handle and suitable for use in controlled environments.
