Different kinds of desiccants, both adsorbent and absorbent, can be loaded into the structure. A line of desiccants provides high strength in a compact packet for absorbing moisture, odor, or gas. The PillowPak line is available with DuPont Tyvek, paper, clear film, and several custom substrates in packet weights ranging from 0.25 to 14 g. Small pharmaceutical-grade desiccants are included in the PillowPak line. Desiccants can be integrated into product packaging. Vials and containers have desiccant linings that are airtight and leakproof, while desiccant sheets in various sizes, thicknesses, and formulations may be inserted into packaging.
Desiccant film is available in a variety of widths to meet packaging specifications.
A closure incorporates a desiccant cell that holds as much as 2 g of desiccant material. The Hinge Guard closure with integrated desiccant cell can contain silica gel, molecular sieve, or a combination of desiccant materials. The closure ensures that the desiccant is in the package while eliminating the potential for accidental consumption by the customer and decreasing the number of packaging components in inventory. Sorbent packets are available in spools and fan-folded strips. StripPax packets feature a compact design to protect products and preserve shelf life while using little space.
