Industrial-Strength Moisture Protection for Food, Electronics & Collectibles
Ensure the longevity of your valuables with our high-performance Silica Gel Desiccant Packets. Engineered with non-toxic, cobalt chloride-free beads and encased in tear-resistant Tyvek®, these packets provide a professional-grade barrier against rust, mold, and degradation.
✅ Why Choose Our Silica Gel?
- Pharmaceutical & Food Grade Safe: Our packets meet strict safety standards, making them chemically inert and safe for direct contact with vitamins, dry foods, and medications.
- Superior Tyvek® Packaging: Unlike paper sachets, our Tyvek casing is dust-free and puncture-resistant—essential for protecting sensitive camera optics and delicate electronics.
- Sustainable & Reusable: Reduce waste by "recharging" your packets. Once saturated, simply bake them to release moisture and restore full absorption capacity.
- High-Capacity Absorption: Each bead can adsorb up to 40% of its weight in water vapor, maintaining a low-humidity environment even in high-moisture conditions.
📊 Size Selection & Usage Guide
To ensure maximum effectiveness, use the correct size for your container volume:
| Packet Size | Recommended Container Size | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 1g | Small spice jars / Vitamin bottles | Herbs, jewelry boxes, hearing aids |
| 2g | Medium jars / Small electronics | Camera lenses, phone storage, seeds |
| 5g | Shoe boxes / 1L Containers | Leather goods, ammunition cans, toolboxes |
| 10g | Large storage bins / 2L-5L Tubs | Photo gear bags, seasonal clothing, documents |
🧴 Expert Applications
- Electronics Recovery: Keep in your camera bag to prevent lens fogging or use to rescue "wet" electronics.
- Culinary Preservation: Maintain the "crunch" in dehydrated fruits, beef jerky, and dry pantry staples.
- Archival Protection: Prevent "old book smell" and yellowing of important documents and vintage photos.
- Hardware Maintenance: Place in toolboxes to stop oxidation and rust on expensive steel tools.
💡 Reactivation Instructions (The "Recharge" Process)
To demonstrate our commitment to product longevity, follow these steps to reuse your packets:
- Preheat your oven to 100°C – 115°C (210°F – 240°F).
- Place the Tyvek packets on a baking sheet for 0.5 to 2 hours (depending on size).
- Store in a sealed container immediately after cooling to maintain dryness.
🛡️ Safety & Quality Assurance
- Cobalt-Chloride Free: We use orange or clear indicating beads (safe) rather than blue (toxic) silica.
- BPA-Free & Non-Toxic: Safe for household use around pets and children.
- Airlock Packaging: Delivered in a heavy-duty, resealable stand-up pouch to ensure your packets arrive active and ready to use.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
A: Silica gel absorbs moisture invisibly. For these standard white packets, a general rule of thumb is to weigh them. When a packet has increased its weight by roughly 30-40%, it is saturated. Alternatively, simply reactivate them periodically (every 1-2 months) if used in frequently opened containers.
A: Yes. Our packets are Food Grade and the Tyvek material is chemically inert. They are safe to place in direct contact with dry foods like jerky, spices, candy, and grains.
A: While our silica gel is non-toxic and cobalt-chloride free, the packet itself presents a choking hazard. If ingested, please consult a vet to be safe, but rest assured the chemical contents are not poisonous.
A: We generally advise against microwaving Tyvek packets. Microwaves can create "hot spots" that may melt the packaging seal before the moisture is fully released. The oven method (low and slow) is the safest way to ensure longevity.
A: If a packet goes through the washing machine, the silica beads will become fully saturated and effectively ruined. However, thanks to the Tyvek packaging, they typically will not burst or leak beads onto your clothing.
