Typical applications include:
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:
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") Contains 40 grams of active silica gel.

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.
DRI-BOX®size is 55 x 55 x 25mm, total weight is 67g, dessicant weight is 46g.
Efficient drying is carried out by an amphorous form of hard, granular, silica gel. The desiccant has a myriad of microscopic pores, which explains its great moisture-attracting capacity. Translucent granular 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 quarts (0.5 liter).
Barrier bags are ideal for storage of materials sensitive to moisture and/or oxygen. The inside dimensions measure 6 x 5.5" with a locking seal and a tear notch above the zipper. Material is a metal foil-covered 4mil polyethylene with a MVTR (moisture vapor transmission rate) that is 1,000x better than a typical poly bag. Bags are heat sealable with zipper style lock and resealable. Compatible with vacuum sealers.

Shown with our Specimen Storage Box, this barrier bag is ideal for storage of materials sensitive to moisture and/or oxygen. The inside dimensions measure L x H x W (where W is the pouch bottom width) with a locking opening and a tear notch above the zipper. The material is aluminum foil covered multi-layered polyethylene, providing an MVTR (moisture vapor transmission rate) that is 1,000 times better than a typical poly bag. They are heat sealable with zipper style lock and resealable. Compatible with vacuum sealers. Sizes to fit all your needs. Ideal for the storage of COVID-19 test kits.
