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.

DriCan® Reusable Desiccating Canisters have several distinct advantages:
- Reusable over and over
- Regenerated easily with a conventional oven
- High moisture capacity
- Easy to use
Safe for all Products.
DriCan® has no harmful effect on material with which it comes in contact.
The content is chemically inert,
non-corrosive, non-toxic, and odorless. DriCan® can be used to dry
the air in all types of moisture-resistant containers
and packages including glass jars, air-tight cans, plastic pouches, tool boxes, wall
safes, display cases and many more.
Dimensions: 55 x 102 x 13.5mm (2.16" x 4.0" x .53")

DRICAP® Capsule Dehydrators
excellent for SEM specimen containers
DRICAP® Capsules have more desiccant in less space and more drying power. Further advantages are: sift-proof, non-linting, controlled adsorption rate, can be mechanically handled, color capacity indicator, saves weight and space. It is rugged and super activated. In addition to reducing humidity, capsules can also protect against potency losses, fermentation, odor formation, color changes, corrosion, mildew, caking and condensation. The moisture-permeable cartridge shell is fabricated from clear cellulose propionate; the desiccant is activated SiO2. The Capsules are RoHS compliant. Two sizes available. MSDS (92KB PDF)

DRI-BOX® Reusable sorbent box
The DRI-BOX® is a small perforated plastic box containing indicating
silica gel. The box is sealed on the side to prevent silica gel from spilling.
The DRI-BOX® is convenient for use in smaller type desiccators of
3 cubic feet or less, packages, and for transportation. The desiccant 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 by microwave (15-20 seconds) or conventional oven (3 hours @ 240°F/115°C).
Once it is regenerated it turns back to blue.

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).

Cartridge Desiccant
Eliminate the messy, time-consuming job of changing loose desiccant. Convenient, easy-to-handle Desiccant in a
Cartridge fits into the bottom section of standard glass or plastic desiccators.
The cartridge consists of a durable
polyester-felt bag with a perforated Mylar® cover sealed in place.
It is filled with indicating silica gel
beads which change color from blue when dry to pink when moist. Saturated gel can
be regenerated in a 300°F (150°C)
vented oven for 3 hours or more (depending on size) until blue color returns. May
be reactivated repeatedly without
degradation. Individually sealed in a moisture-proof pouch.
