Desiccants protect all types of articles from deterioration, rust, corrosion, mold,
mildew and other damage caused by moisture or high humidity. Simply place desiccants
together with the article to be protected in a tightly closed or sealed moisture
resistant container. Desiccants will rapidly and actively desiccate the surrounding
air and keep it that way to protect against moisture damage.
Typical applications include:
- Laboratory equipment and chemicals
- Cameras, lenses, photos and film
- Scientific instruments
- Medical and dental instruments
- Tools
- Museum and historical artifacts
- Fabrics
- Paper

DriCan®
the "forever" desiccant for a variety of applications.
DriCan® is a small, perforated canister containing 40 grams of indicating silica
gel. The case is lightweight yet strong, designed to withstand years of use.
The desiccant content has a reversible action. Once it has adsorbed all the moisture it can hold,
indicated by a color change from blue to pink, it can be regenerated easily with a conventional oven.
After regeneration, DriCan® will be capable of readsorbing its full capacity. This cycle
can be repeated over and over again, making DriCan® the "forever" desiccant.
Sufficient material to protect up to 3 cubic feet (85 ltr) of enclosed space.

Bulk Desiccant
3,000,000 square feet of moisture-adsorbing surface area in 1 pound
This efficient drying is carried out by a hard, clear, porous, beaded, amorphous
form of silica gel. The desiccant
has a myriad of microscopic pores which explains its great moisture-attracting capacity.
Translucent beads look and
feel dry even when saturated. Dust-free and attrition-proof. May be regenerated by
heating with no loss of efficiency. Approximate volume of 1 pound (454 grams) of bulk desiccant is 0.53 quart (0.5 liter).
