These crystals can also be regenerated by heating them at a temperature of 150°C. It mainly acts as a desiccant for packaging products. It has the capacity to adsorb 40% of its weight of water vapors.

The range of particle crystals size include 1-3 mesh, 3-4 mesh, 3-8 mesh, 5-8, 9-16 mesh etc. The most suitable mesh size is used based on the application as well as the quantity of the products. It offers long term results without any hazardous effects. The large surface area, chemical stability and numerous micro pores helps this adsorbent to make the products free from moisture. Get this indicator to determine the extent of dehumidification as per your needs.
