What is the difference between silica gel, bentonite clay, and activated charcoal desiccants?
- Answer: Silica gel is a high-capacity moisture absorber, ideal for a wide range of applications. Bentonite clay is a cost-effective, naturally occurring desiccant. Activated charcoal is primarily used for odour absorption but also offers some moisture control. We provide consultation to help you choose the exact desiccant type and grade for your specific needs, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency.
How do I determine the right size and quantity of desiccant for my product packaging?
- Answer: The required amount of desiccant depends on several factors, including the product's volume, the packaging material, and the storage conditions. Using the wrong quantity can be ineffective or wasteful. Our consultation service includes a detailed analysis to provide a customized solution, ensuring your products are protected from moisture without unnecessary costs.
Are your desiccant products safe for use with food and pharmaceuticals?
- Answer: Yes, we offer a range of desiccants that are FDA-compliant and suitable for direct contact with food and pharmaceutical products. We understand the stringent regulations in these industries and can provide the necessary documentation and certification to ensure compliance and peace of mind.
How can desiccant products help extend the shelf life of my products?
- Answer: By actively controlling the moisture inside your packaging, desiccants prevent common problems like caking, clumping, mold growth, and material degradation. This protection maintains your product's quality, integrity, and extends its shelf life, reducing waste and protecting your brand reputation.
What is involved in your consultation service?
- Answer: Our consultation service is a no-obligation, start-to-finish process. We work with you to understand your product, packaging, and specific environmental challenges. We then recommend the ideal desiccant type, size, and quantity. This ensures you get a precise, effective solution rather than a one-size-fits-all product.
Can you provide customized desiccant solutions?
- Answer: Yes, customization is one of our main strengths. We can manufacture desiccants in custom sizes, shapes, and materials to fit unique product packaging. We also offer custom branding options, allowing you to include your company logo, a specific colour, or instructions on the desiccant packaging.
How can you help with product branding?
- Answer: We understand that every detail of your product contributes to your brand image. Our branding consultation includes suggestions on how to make your desiccant packaging part of your brand identity, from specific colours and logos to custom printing that enhances the unboxing experience for your customers.
