Clay Desiccant

Introducing Desitag® Clay Desiccant, a developed moisture-absorbing solution designed to protect and preserve your valuable products. Made primarily from bentonite clay, which consists of montmorillonite, this desiccant offers superior water vapor adsorption capacity under specific relative humidity and temperature conditions, with up to 25% of its weigh. Clay Desiccant combines natural composition, good moisture absorption capacity, and environmental friendliness, making it an ideal solution for protecting a variety of products from moisture-related damage. Its versatile applications and non-toxic properties ensure that your goods remain in optimal condition throughout their lifecycle.

Key Features
  • Natural Composition:

Clay Desiccant is a natural non-metallic sedimentary or volcanic mineral, predominantly composed of montmorillonite. It features a unique scale-like structure and is available in shades of brown and white.

  • Varied Texture:

The clay can be found in different forms—porous, hard and bricked, or soft and satiny—making it versatile for various applications.

  • Good Adsorption Capacity:

Demonstrates greater water vapor adsorption capabilities compared to conventional desiccants, ensuring superior moisture control.

  • Non-Toxic and Harmless:

Safe for use with a wide range of products, Clay Desiccant is non-toxic, harmless, and environmentally friendly, supporting sustainable practices.

  • Eco-Friendly:

As a natural mineral, it is an environmentally conscious choice for moisture control.

Applications

1. Automotive and Spare Parts:
Protects metal parts and components from corrosion and moisture damage.

2. Electrical Appliances and Electronics:
Prevents moisture-induced corrosion and damage in sensitive electronic devices and components.

3. Furniture:
Maintains the quality and longevity of furniture by preventing mold and mildew growth.

4. Footwear and Leather Goods:
Keeps shoes, bags, and other leather items dry, preventing mold and maintaining their quality.

5. Machinery:
Safeguards machinery and industrial equipment from moisture-related issues during storage and transportation.

Technical Data Sheet
Material Name Mineral Clay
Material Description Activated mineral desiccant is a natural, eco-friendly clay desiccant. It uses natural attapulgite clay as the raw material, which is processed through granulation and baking. The mineral desiccant can be disposed of as garbage and will completely degrade in nature rapidly when moisture is fully absorbed
