Desiccants -
MIL-D-3464E |
|
 A
desiccant is a substance used to
absorb and retain moisture within a
sealed shipping container.
Desiccants are used in rigid
containers (such as a wooden crate
or plastic box) and also in flexible
containers (such as a barrier bag or
envelope).
The 2
major type of desiccant used in
shipping applications are clay and
silica gel. Individual packet sizes
are indicated in "units". A unit of
desiccant is approximately 1 ounce.
We
can supply desiccant in accordance
with Mil-D-3464E in either Type I
(general purpose - Kraft pouch) or
Type II (non-dusting - Tyvek pouch).

How much Desiccant do I need?
Here are
2 simple formulas to determine the
amount of desiccant needed, based on
the container type:
-
Rigid
Container (wooden crate, plastic
box, etc.)
Use 1.2 units of desiccant per
cubic foot
-
Flexible Container (barrier bags,
envelopes, etc.)
Use 1.6 units per square foot of
barrier material (include square
footage for both sides of bag or
pouch when calculating)

Humidity Indicator Cards |
|
|
Humidity indicator cards are used to
determine the percentage of humidity
present in a sealed shipping
container. They are often used in
conjunction with desiccant.
We can
supply humidity indicator cards
conforming to MS20003-2 (3 spot -
30%, 40%, 50% humidity, 125 cards
per can). |
