Protect valuable items from moisture damage with reliable clay desiccants in breathable Tyvek packaging. These 1/3 oz ARMOR SHIELD clay desiccant packets provide effective humidity control for archival storage, electronics protection, pharmaceuticals, and sensitive equipment. The breathable Tyvek packaging allows efficient moisture absorption while containing the desiccant clay, creating a dry microenvironment within sealed containers, packages, or storage enclosures. Widely used by museums, laboratories, manufacturers, and collectors to prevent corrosion, mold, mildew, and degradation caused by excess humidity. Clay desiccants offer an economical moisture control solution with high adsorption capacity. Unlike silica gel, which primarily adsorbs moisture through surface area, montmorillonite clay (bentonite) traps water molecules within its crystalline structure without changing size or shape. This makes clay desiccants ideal for long-term storage applications where consistent performance and dimensional stability matter. The Tyvek outer pouch provides tear resistance and excellent breathability, allowing rapid moisture uptake while preventing dust contamination. Key Benefits: FDA and USDA compliant for food-contact and pharmaceutical applications Military specification approved (MIL-D-3464E Type I and II) Maintains size and shape throughout moisture adsorption cycle Breathable Tyvek allows faster moisture equilibration than paper or plastic pouches Cost-effective compared to silica gel for large-volume applications No health hazards - non-toxic and safe to handle Reduces labor costs with simple drop-in application Specifications: 1/3 oz (9.4 g) | Clay Tyvek | 700 packets per pail | FDA-compliant | Military-spec approved Common Applications: Museum artifact preservation and archival storage; electronics packaging for circuit boards, sensors, and components; pharmaceutical packaging for tablets, capsules, and powders; food packaging for dried goods and supplements; shipping protection for metal parts, tools, and precision instruments; long-term storage of textiles, books, and documents; laboratory equipment and calibration standards. What are clay desiccants? Clay desiccants use natural montmorillonite (bentonite) clay to adsorb moisture from the air, reducing relative humidity inside sealed containers. The clay traps water molecules within its layered crystalline structure, providing reliable humidity control without changing size or releasing the moisture back into the environment. Why use Tyvek desiccant packets instead of paper? Tyvek offers superior strength and tear resistance compared to paper, while maintaining excellent breathability for rapid moisture adsorption. The synthetic material resists punctures and abrasion during handling and shipping, ensuring the desiccant remains contained and effective throughout its service life. How do I choose the right desiccant size for my application? Desiccant sizing depends on package volume, seal quality, and storage conditions. As a general guideline, use 1 unit (gram) of desiccant per cubic inch of void space for shipping applications, or 2-6 units per cubic inch for long-term storage in moderately humid environments. For critical applications, consult MIL-D-3464 tables or test your specific packaging configuration.
