Description/ Specification of Desiccant / Silica Gel / Molecular Sieve

A desiccant is a substance or material used to absorb and remove moisture or humidity from its surroundings. These versatile agents are employed in various industries and applications where moisture control is crucial. Desiccants function by adsorbing water molecules, trapping them within their structure, and thus reducing the relative humidity in the surrounding environment. Common desiccants include silica gel, activated charcoal, calcium chloride, and molecular sieves. Silica gel, for example, is often found in small packets within product packaging to protect against moisture damage. In pharmaceuticals, electronics manufacturing, food storage, and even museums where preserving delicate artifacts is paramount, desiccants play a pivotal role in maintaining product quality and prolonging the lifespan of goods by preventing the harmful effects of moisture, such as corrosion, mold growth, or product degradation.
