Desiccants are actually a type of moisture-proof product. There are many types of desiccants, and different types use different raw materials. For example, silica gel desiccants, mineral desiccants, and montmorillonite desiccants are produced from environmentally friendly materials and do not harm the environment or human body. However, some desiccants are not environmentally friendly, such as calcium chloride and biochemical desiccants. These desiccants produce another substance after absorbing moisture, which is not easily decomposed in the natural environment and is relatively similar to plastic, making them less environmentally friendly.

Silica gel desiccants, mineral desiccants, and montmorillonite desiccants are produced from environmentally friendly materials and do not harm the environment or human body.
However, some desiccants are not environmentally friendly, such as calcium chloride and biochemicals. After these desiccants absorb moisture, they produce another substance that is not easily decomposed in the natural environment. Relatively speaking, they are not as environmentally friendly as plastics.
More environmentally friendly are Food desiccants There are three common types of food desiccants: silica gel desiccants (transparent granules), lime desiccants (white blocks), and mineral desiccants (brown beads). The raw materials are all non-toxic. The only thing to note is lime desiccants, because lime desiccants expand when they encounter water and generate a large amount of heat. Ingestion can burn the skin and intestines. Due to frequent explosions causing injuries, they have gradually been phased out.
