A desiccant is something that can remove moisture; small packets are placed in food to extend its shelf life. There are four types of desiccants on the market, with transparent granular desiccants being common. So, what are the classifications of desiccants?

Desiccants are classified as follows:

1. Quicklime desiccant

This desiccant's main component is calcium oxide, which absorbs moisture through a chemical reaction and therefore cannot be reused. Regardless of the surrounding environment, its performance is relatively stable, and it is better preserved at low temperatures. It is widely used in food and clothing.

2. Silica gel desiccant

Silica gel desiccant is a very common desiccant. Its main component is hydrous silicon dioxide, which is non-toxic and odorless, and has relatively stable chemical properties and good drying effect.

3. Montmorillonite desiccant

The main raw material of this desiccant is pure natural bentonite, which is non-toxic and odorless and will not harm the human body. Generally, its adsorption function is relatively stable, and it can not only adsorb a large amount of moisture but also absorb gas.

4. Fiber desiccant

The main component of fiber desiccant is pure natural plant fiber. This desiccant has a strong moisture absorption capacity, is safe, hygienic, and affordable. Many biological products, health foods, and pharmaceuticals choose it.

When operating and using desiccants, we all need to understand these categories of desiccants. When choosing desiccants, choosing the right desiccant is what we all need.
