Desiccants
  • Application

    These reusable desiccants reduce humidity inside your archival storage boxes to help protect your archives. Include a desiccant to absorb and contain water vapor to help maintain a safe relative humidity for your collections.

    Material: silica gel inside a metal or cloth case

    Note: the desiccants will eventually reach a saturation point and need to be recharged which means that periodically you need to check their indicators (see Features tab for more info)

  • Features

    Cloth Desiccant When the blue indicator square turns to pink it is time to recharge the pack. A more reliable way to test the saturation is use a kitchen scale to weigh it. A fresh, unused pack weighs about 105-110 grams. When it weighs about 135 grams it is time to recharge it. The pack can absorb about 1 shot glass full of moisture before it needs to be recharged.

    Metal Desiccant When the round silica gel crystals turn from orange to dark green the canister will need to be reactivated. You can reactivate in a conventional oven only (Do NOT use a microwave!).
