1-oz Clay Tyvek Desiccants Humidity Control
ARMOR SHIELD 1-ounce clay Tyvek desiccant packs in a 300-count pail. Silica gel and clay Tyvek construction controls humidity by absorbing moisture without changing size or shape of the pack. FDA, USDA, and Military compliant. Suitable for domestic and export shipments, short and long-term storage, and a wide range of applications requiring a dry environment within enclosed packaging.
Specs: 1 oz | Clay Tyvek | 300/Pail | FDA Compliant | USDA Compliant | Military Compliant
Applications
Domestic and export shipping containers, long-term warehouse storage, electronics and PCB component packaging, food and dry goods packaging, hand tool and hardware storage, laboratory equipment packaging, books and archival document storage, museum artifacts and conservation packaging, and clothing and textile storage.
Features
Clay Tyvek construction is the most common and economical desiccant option. Moisture is held within the pack with no change in pack size or shape during the absorption process. 300-count pail format supports bulk dispensing in high-volume packaging operations. Packs are easy to insert and remove by hand with no health or safety concerns under normal handling conditions.
Material Notes
Clay desiccant is a naturally occurring mineral absorbent, widely used across industries as a cost-effective moisture control option. Tyvek pouch construction is breathable to allow moisture vapor exchange while containing the clay material. Clay Tyvek is the standard specification for most general-purpose desiccant applications. For applications requiring lower relative humidity levels or higher absorption capacity per unit weight, silica gel desiccants are available.
Use Case Notes
Desiccant sizing is based on the enclosed air volume and expected humidity exposure during the intended protection period. A 1-ounce unit is appropriate for small to medium-sized enclosed packaging environments. For large export cartons, pallet-level shipments, or extended storage periods, multiple 1-oz units or larger desiccant packs are typically required. Consult MIL-D-3464 or industry standards for specific sizing guidance based on package volume and protection duration.
Common Questions
Q: What is the difference between clay and silica gel desiccants?
A: Clay desiccants are the standard, economical choice for most general packaging and storage applications. Silica gel desiccants offer higher moisture absorption capacity per unit weight and are preferred for applications requiring very low relative humidity levels or precision humidity control.
Q: Are these safe for use with food packaging?
A: Yes. ARMOR SHIELD clay Tyvek desiccants are FDA and USDA compliant for use in food packaging applications.
Q: Do they change size when absorbing moisture?
A: No. The clay material absorbs moisture without expanding or changing the external dimensions of the desiccant pack.
