  1. Pharmaceutical Desiccants For Better Packaging Solutions www.pharmadesiccants.com

  2. Why Use Desiccants? You know the two biggest enemies of any Packaged Products? Moisture& Oxygen Lethal potential to damage metals, drugs, woods, plastics, glass, Foods, Cloth, Paper, Leather… The effects of Moisture & Oxygen are: Simply Devastating! On the product life, presentability, functionality & performance, on profits & finally on the repute of manufacturer/exporter

  3. Strategy For Moisture Control.... Reduce! (by MAP & Vacuum) Eliminate (by Desiccants) Prevent (by Barrier Packaging) In Packaged Goods

  4. Something About Moisture Present in the air in the form of Vapors (Gas Phase) having more penetrative & damaging ability than liquid form. We measure moisture in % RH w.r.t. Temperature and is dynamic through out the year. Also the moisture in compressed air flow is measured as dew point. Affects integrity of packaging materials, packaged products, bacterial growth, bad odour etc…

  5. Problems! Problems! Problems! - Odour - Rust, Corrosion - Container Rain - Mold, Mildew and Bacterial Growth - Weak Cartons, Label Damages

  6. Now The Solutions For Moisture Silica Gel Desiccants Cargo Dry Paks Oxygen Absorbers

  7. How are Desiccants Rated? • Packaging experts face a confusing array of variables when selecting moisture adsorbents partly because moisture control is a multifaceted challenge. There are four sources of water contamination in a closed container or package: • Water vapor in the air inside the package. • Water vapor adsorbed by the materials inside the package Water vapor on the walls of the package • Permeation of water vapor into the package.

  8. Quality Parameters-Desiccants Should have very high adsorption capacity Should have low residual moisture (LOD) The desiccant material should have neutral pH (6.5-7.5), inert & non-toxic in nature Should be packed in non-dusting, non-tearable, non-lintable packing materials preferably spun-bonded olefins The packet material should not have wetting effect on surface upon saturation Should be confirming to International standards CFR/EU compliant, MIL-D specs, JDEC-033, FDA etc… Should be active (RTU) when using. The packet material should be permeable to moisture Desiccant must have moisture holding capacity at higher temperatures below evaporation point of water Desiccant should not release water upon saturation

  9. Do & Don'ts-Desiccants Do's Dont's Always use desiccants when you are ready to pack your goods & seal immediately Place the desiccants at different locations inside the package & near the possible sources of air permeation Store in the original container away from darkness Look at the HIC placed inside the desiccant container before using Expose the desiccants unnecessarily Remove the HIC card from the original container Use over-exposed desiccant pouches Punch holes in the desiccant packets
