WHAT ARE DESICCANTS? HOW TO USE DESICCANTS SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY

Desiccants  are present in all industrial, agricultural and daily life products. For example, when we open a box of biscuits or a box of coconut jam, there is a small package like a tea bag inside. In addition to the package labeled silica gel, the desiccant should not be eaten. It is called a desiccant packet/ desiccant bag/ desiccant packet/ desiccant bag. The desiccant packet can contain silica gel beads or clay desiccant beads. However, to help you better understand desiccant beads, the Desiccant Bag Manufacturing Company defines desiccant beads as follows:

Silica gel desiccant is extracted from raw materials sodium othosilicate (Na2SiO4) and Silicon Tetrachloride (SiCl4). Inside each bead there are many hollow chambers to help absorb water best. When full of water, the transparent silica gel beads will turn opaque so we can easily detect and replace the new desiccant pack.

Desiccant beads  have two types: blue and transparent. For  blue silica gel desiccant  beads , when they are full of water, they will turn pink, and at this time we can replace the new package. The product is suitable for use with machinery and electronic devices such as cameras, phones, screws, etc.

HOW TO USE DESICCANTS SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY

The desiccant has been packed into each bag with the right weight so you just need to use it without worrying about weighing. Depending on the item that needs to be preserved, you can choose 1.1 gram, 2 gram, 3 gram, 5 gram, 10 gram, 20 gram silica gel desiccant bags, or 30 gram, 25 gram, 50 gram, 100 gram, 200 gram, 300 gram, 500 gram, 1000 gram, 2000 gram silica gel desiccant bags.

+ Use 2 to 3 moisture-proof bags for wardrobe compartments, shoes, bookshelves, etc.

+ Use 5 to 10 packs for places with high humidity such as the gas tank compartment, or the cabinet under the sink of the kitchen cabinet, etc.

+ Use 1-2 packs for handbags, purses, wallets, backpacks, cosmetic boxes, and dressing table drawers.

+ For electronic devices such as phones, smart phones, cameras, lenses, etc., you can put a few desiccant beads in a zipper bag or a sealed box and put it in your backpack with the devices. This is a very effective method to prevent mold and rainwater.

+ For gaps and cracks in wooden furniture, separate the desiccant packets and insert each one into the gaps so they can absorb moisture.

+ For hidden corners in the house, hidden cabinets, areas close to the floor that are rarely or never cleaned such as: under the bed, under the cabinet, hidden corners, etc., you should observe regularly to prevent moisture safely and effectively.

+ For food candy boxes, depending on the weight, you should use the appropriate number of moisture-proof bags.
