Desiccant is used to absorb moisture.
When desiccant is placed inside packaging designed to minimize the amount of moisture that can pass through it, the desiccant can effectively absorb virtually all of the moisture that is trapped inside the package. Typically, several factors are taken into consideration when calculating the appropriateness and efficacy of desiccant. The maximum allowable interior humidity of the product package is calculated. With this information at hand it is possible to create an interior environment that will assure complete protection of the packaged products.
