Protect sensitive equipment and products from moisture damage during shipping and storage with ARMOR SHIELD clay desiccant pouches. These 2 oz clay desiccants are engineered for commercial and industrial moisture control applications where humidity can compromise product quality, functionality, or shelf life. The ARMOR SHIELD brand uses montmorillonite clay as the active ingredient, housed in breathable Tyvek pouches that allow moisture vapor to pass through while containing the clay granules securely. This design provides reliable humidity control for electronics, precision instruments, diagnostic equipment, museum artifacts, food products, pharmaceuticals, and other moisture-sensitive items during domestic and international shipping or long-term storage. Clay desiccants work by adsorbing moisture from the surrounding air within an enclosed package or container, maintaining a dry environment that prevents corrosion, mold, degradation, and moisture-related failures. Unlike silica gel, montmorillonite clay offers excellent adsorption capacity at a lower cost, making it the economical choice for high-volume industrial applications. The Tyvek material is tear-resistant, dust-free, and FDA and USDA compliant for food-contact applications, meeting military specification MIL-D-3464E for desiccant performance. Key Benefits: Maintains stable size and shape as it adsorbs moisture (no swelling or leaking) Breathable Tyvek allows rapid moisture absorption while preventing dust contamination FDA and USDA compliant for food, pharmaceutical, and medical device packaging Meets military specification MIL-D-3464E for critical applications Economical alternative to silica gel for large-volume moisture control No health concerns or special handling requirements Reduces labor costs with simple drop-in application Specifications: 2 oz clay desiccant | Tyvek pouch | 150 units per pail | Total pail weight: 28 lbs | FDA/USDA/MIL-D-3464E compliant Common Applications: Electronics packaging and shipping (circuit boards, sensors, controllers), precision instruments and lab equipment, museum artifact preservation, long-term storage of books and documents, clothing and textile storage, food product shipping (preventing moisture migration), pharmaceutical and nutraceutical packaging, military and aerospace equipment storage, tool and hardware export containers, diagnostic and medical equipment shipping. What are clay desiccants? Clay desiccants use natural montmorillonite clay as the active ingredient to adsorb moisture from enclosed spaces. The clay granules are sealed in breathable pouches that allow water vapor to enter while containing the absorbent material, providing cost-effective humidity control for commercial and industrial applications. What is the difference between clay and silica gel desiccants? Clay desiccants offer lower adsorption capacity than silica gel but are significantly more economical, making them ideal for high-volume industrial use where cost per unit matters. Clay is FDA and USDA compliant, performs well at moderate humidity levels, and is the most common desiccant choice for general moisture control in packaging and shipping. How do I determine the right desiccant size for my package? Desiccant sizing depends on package volume, product moisture sensitivity, and storage/shipping conditions. As a general guideline, use 1-2 oz of desiccant per cubic foot of enclosed space for standard moisture control. For highly sensitive items or long-term storage (6+ months), increase the desiccant weight or use multiple pouches to ensure adequate protection throughout the storage period.
