Comparison of Commercial Desiccant - Silica gel, clays and molecular sieves

Desiccants are used to absorb moisture air to prevent harm to products such as electronics, leather goods, dry food, and vitamins. To prevent Damage caused by moisture in the air, desiccants are used to absorb moisture to keep the air dry. There are three types of commercial desiccant, silica gel, bentonite, and molecular sieve. The silica gel desiccant more absorptive capacity available the market is in the industrial, commercial and residential was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the packaging of dry foods. Bentonite is a naturally absorbent material that is used in industrial settings, but not as often as silica gel. Sieve molecular desiccant is used in special situations where moisture control is necessary to extremely high.

Bentonite is a natural absorbent granular material. Even when fully saturated bentonite clay bouquet and remains dry to the touch. F absorbent ° to 120 (49 ° C), drying is more efficient at 77 ° F (25 ° C) and can absorb up 25% of its weight in moisture. When temperatures rise above 120 degrees F (49 ° C), bentonite releases the moisture it absorbed back into the air. Accordingly, the desiccant can be reactivated and reused several times. Tyvek ® packaging that fits in the dust better than other choices of packaging materials, tends to be the preferred packaging for bentonite, as it provides a large amount of dust.

Silica gel is usually found packed with products such as electronics and leather goods. A man of substance, silica gel is produced synthetically from sodium silicate is a solid and, despite what its name implies, and is in clear beads. Like bentonite, silica gel remains dry to the touch, even when it is completely saturated and will not be solid or stick. Able to absorb 40% of its weight in moisture, silica gel desiccant is the most absorbent on the market. Silica gel is more effective way to 100 ° F (38 ° C) but can absorb moisture up to 220 ° F (104 ° C). When heated to temperatures between 220-250 ° F (104-121 ° C), silica gel will release the moisture it has absorbed, the re for reuse. The gel Silica comes in a variety of packages, including cotton, Tyvek ®, and perforated clear plastic. Cotton and Tyvek ® packets are commonly used in dry food packaging and meet FDA requirements to be packed with dry food. Silica gel packaged in Tyvek ® yield virtually no particles of dust that makes it a good choice to be packed with dry food or electronic items that could be moisture damage.

Molecular sieve desiccant is a substance of human origin. Unlike silica gel and clay bentonite, the desiccant does not stay dry to the touch. As the molecular sieve particles absorb moisture, they lose their dry and become solid wet to the touch. Of the three types of desiccants, molecular sieves has the lowest absorption capacity at only 22% of its weight. Molecular sieve can absorb efficiently at very high temperatures, is capable of absorbing moisture up to 450 ° F (230 ° C). Due to the change of its physical characteristics and high temperatures at which it can absorb, Molecular Sieve desiccant can be reactivated and reused. Molecular sieve can be used with electronics because of its yield little dust, but is not approved by the FDA to be packed with food.

Absorptive capacity may be the primary consideration when choosing a desiccant, bentonite can absorb 25% of its weight, silica gel can absorb 40% and 22% molecular sieve. Bentonite has the highest efficiency of dust of the three, requiring a more expensive package to contain the dust. Silica gel and molecular sieves have a very low yield of the dust that makes no safe to use with products that could be damaged by dust. There is little packet of silica gel tear such as small beads are solid, not toxic and are easy to clean, even when fully saturated. Since bentonite clay material is dusty, the scarcity of Packages tear, dust cover products it is supposed to protect. Cleaning saturated molecular sieve from a package torn would also be more difficult than cleaning beads of silica gel. Consequently, silica gel Tyvek ® packaging is the best choice for applications that require a minimum of dust.

Bentonite has the smallest range of optimum temperature with a maximum temperature of 120 ° F (49 ° C). Molecular sieve has the highest temperature absorption of three types dehydrating at a temperature exceeding 450 ° F (230 ° C). The range of silica gel, with a temperature above 220 ° F (104 ° C) means it can be used for applications more than bentonite. Bentonite and silica gel can both be reactivated by heating the particles so that they release the absorbed moisture while Molecular Sieve desiccants can not be reactivated. When you look at the cost, it is important to consider not only how much is the desiccant per unit, but also the absorptive capacity of the desiccant. With the greatest absorptive capacity on the market, a wide range optimum temperature, and the ability to be reactivated, the three desiccants, silica gel is the most widely used desiccant in the market.
