The effectiveness of any desiccant is not solely determined by its chemical composition but also by the quality of its packaging. For high-performance desiccants, especially those utilizing chemical absorption like magnesium chloride, the packaging material is paramount. It must allow moisture vapor to enter while preventing the desiccant material itself from leaking out. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. utilizes carefully selected materials like Tyvek and PE (polyethylene) to ensure optimal performance and product integrity for our magnesium chloride desiccants.

The Importance of Permeable and Secure Packaging

Desiccants work by drawing moisture from the surrounding air. Therefore, the packaging material must be breathable, allowing water vapor to pass through to the desiccant inside. Simultaneously, it must be robust enough to contain the desiccant material, which, in the case of magnesium chloride, undergoes a chemical transformation upon absorbing moisture. Leaks can not only contaminate the product being protected but also compromise the desiccant's effectiveness and create safety hazards.

Tyvek: The Breathable Barrier

Tyvek, a non-woven material made from high-density polyethylene fibers, is a popular choice for desiccant packaging. Its unique properties make it ideal:

  • High Breathability: Tyvek has a microporous structure that allows water vapor to pass through freely, facilitating efficient moisture absorption by the desiccant.
  • Excellent Strength: Despite its breathability, Tyvek is remarkably strong, tear-resistant, and durable, ensuring it withstands the rigors of handling and transit.
  • Dust Resistance: It effectively prevents the desiccant material from escaping as dust, maintaining a cleaner environment for the packaged product.
  • Moisture Resistance: While breathable, Tyvek itself resists the passage of liquid water, providing an initial barrier against external moisture ingress.

PE (Polyethylene) Film: Durability and Containment

Polyethylene (PE) films are often used in combination with or as an alternative layer in desiccant packaging. PE offers:

  • Excellent Moisture Barrier: PE film provides a strong barrier against liquid water and helps seal the desiccant packet, preventing premature moisture absorption from humid ambient air before use.
  • Chemical Inertness: PE is chemically resistant and will not react with the desiccant material, ensuring the integrity of both the desiccant and the packaging.
  • Toughness and Flexibility: PE films are durable and flexible, capable of conforming to different shapes and protecting the desiccant from physical damage.
