KeepDri desiccant sachets — protect products from moisture

KeepDri desiccant sachets are silica gel moisture absorbers that stop dry foods and moisture-sensitive products from reabsorbing moisture, which causes loss of crispness, texture change, caking and microbial growth. KeepDri is made from silica sand with a high silicon dioxide (SiO2) content and a porous structure, giving it the capacity to hold and absorb more than 35% (w/w) moisture at 90% RH, 30 °C — controlling humidity more effectively than other desiccants such as clay.

How do KeepDri desiccant sachets extend product life?

Many products deteriorate with moisture — food, pharmaceuticals, electronics and leather goods alike. Using KeepDri keeps products in good condition for longer, reduces moisture damage and makes storage more effective.

• KeepDri prevents dry foods (water activity, aw < 0.6) and moisture-sensitive products from reabsorbing moisture, which would raise aw and cause undesirable changes such as loss of crispness, texture change, caking and microbial growth.
• KeepDri prevents the degradation of key ingredients and active substances in pharmaceuticals and medical products.
• KeepDri prevents the degradation of vitamins and valuable nutrients in dietary supplements and herbal products.
• KeepDri prevents oxidation and metal corrosion in spare parts, photographic equipment, electronics, computer equipment and medical instruments.
• KeepDri prevents mould growth and colour change, preserving textiles, books and artwork.

KeepDri desiccant is therefore a suitable choice for extending product life and preventing moisture damage across many industries, keeping products in good quality and ready to use in the long term.
