Which desiccant should be used for clothing and textiles? Clothing and textiles have high requirements for airtight moisture-proof packaging, storage, and transportation. Clothing and textiles are inherently afraid of moisture, which is determined by their raw materials. Clothing and textile fabrics are susceptible to moisture damage and even mildew. Moisture-proof requirements must be addressed during packaging. So how should clothing and textiles be protected from moisture?
Clothing and textiles Desiccant Which type to use? Clothing and textiles have high requirements for sealed moisture protection during packaging, storage, and transportation. Clothing and textiles are inherently afraid of moisture, which is determined by their raw materials. Clothing and textile fabrics are susceptible to moisture, deterioration, and even mold. How should moisture protection for clothing and textiles be handled during the packaging process?
So which desiccant is better for clothing and textiles? At Hengyuan Desiccant it is understood that silica gel desiccant can be used for moisture protection when packaging clothing and textiles. By adding an appropriate amount of silica gel desiccant to the packaging bag, it can effectively prevent clothing and textiles from getting damp and deteriorating, achieving the purpose of moisture prevention and quality preservation. Silica gel desiccant is a physical adsorbent desiccant, not a chemical reaction moisture absorbent desiccant. Moreover, silica gel is the only desiccant raw material approved by the FDA for direct contact with food and medicine. Compared to other desiccants, silica gel desiccant is relatively safe for moisture protection of clothing and textiles.
Which desiccant to use for moisture protection in shoes, hats, and handbags? According to Hengyuan Desiccant, shoe and hat desiccants are mainly used in the packaging of products such as shoes, hats, clothing, leather, and bags to absorb moisture and prevent products from molding due to high humidity. Most commonly used desiccants for shoes, hats, and handbags are silica gel desiccants, and sometimes mineral or montmorillonite desiccants are also used, depending on the merchant's cost control. If cost control is low, choose cost-effective mineral/montmorillonite desiccants; if cost control is high, choose silica gel desiccants, which have better moisture absorption and are safer.
Types of Desiccants:
Desiccant raw materials include silica gel, quicklime, minerals, montmorillonite, calcium chloride, molecular sieves, alumina, fibers, biochemicals, etc. Currently, the most commonly used desiccant on the market is silica gel desiccant (transparent beads). If you don't know how to choose, you can consult Dingxing Desiccant customer service, and they will tell you how to choose the appropriate desiccant.
Silica Gel Desiccant Insoluble in water and any solvents, non-toxic, odorless, chemically stable, and does not react with any substance except strong alkalis and hydrofluoric acid. At the same time, silica gel is also the only desiccant approved by the US FDA for direct contact with pharmaceuticals and food. If accidentally ingested, there is no need to worry, as it is not absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and can be excreted through feces, posing no toxicity to the human body. No special treatment is required after accidental ingestion, unless special reactions such as dizziness or vomiting occur; generally, medical attention is not needed.
