Sorb-it® String Sewn Desiccant Bags, 4.75" x 9.5", 16 Units

The adsorption capacity is relatively small at low humidity levels but at high humidity levels, Sorb-It® accepts moisture much faster than Desi Pak®, which has to be taken into account when handling the material. The adsorption capacity of Sorb‑It as a function of temperature decreases slightly at constant relative humidity between 20°C and 50°C.

Why do I need a desiccant bag?

Moisture can quickly affect the value or even destroy many types of valuable goods, causing rust, corrosion, mildew, mold, and device malfunction. By sealing goods inside packaging with the appropriate desiccant, goods can be protected from moisture and maintain long shelf lives.

The desiccant reduces the humidity inside a sealed package as soon as they are placed inside.

The absorption capacity is dependent on the relative humidity (r.h.) of the surrounding air.

Desiccant Industries

Placed within a sealed package or container, desiccant bags will protect any number of products, including:

• aircraft storage
• laid-up ships (lay-up vessels)
• stacked rigs (mothballing)
• automobile parts
• electronic components (example: surface mount devices, integrated circuits, circuit boards, capacitors, and resistors) used in dry pak per JEDEC J-STD-033
• engines
• semiconductors
• food
• leathers
• packaged foods - cartons, cans, boxes
• machinery
• medical devices
• metals
• military goods
• nutraceuticals
• textiles
• 3D Printing Filament

Specifications

Clariant offers desiccant bags that meet many of the industry's most rigorous specifications, including military specification Mil-D-3464E (Mil Spec). Mil Spec bags are classified as Type I (general use), Type II (non-dusting), and Type III (durability). Clariant's Desi Pak® and Sorb-It® bags are available to meet Type I requirements, and specific Tie-Bags are available to meet Type III specifications. Clariant's Desiccant Bags also meet Method II Packaging Standards, as described in Mil-P-116-E, which covers the basic requirements of military packaging methods of preparation. Designated Mil-Spec bags are rechargeable using bag-specific instructions printed on each bag.

Desiccant bags comply with the most significant industry specifications including:

• Mil-Spec: Clariant is listed on the Qualified Products List (QPL) as complying with the Mil-D-3464E as tested and qualified by the
  U.S. Department of the Navy.
• DIN / AFNOR: Clariant's desiccant bags comply with German DIN 55473 and TL 6850-0008 French specification
  AFNOR NF H 00321.
• JEDEC: Clariant Desiccant Bags, along with its Humitector® Humidity Indicator Cards, meet the requirements for the dry packaging, dry packing, and applications for semiconductors.
• Food & drugs: Clariant offers desiccant bags that meet relevant U.S. FDA specifications for use in food and drug applications.
