Desi-Sheet™ is a line of flat desiccants that effectively adsorb moisture inside medical device, diagnostic or pharmaceutical packaging.
Ideal for use when packaging diagnostic kits or medical devices in aluminum pouches, Desi-Sheet’s flatness avoids the bulges in flexible packaging caused by conventional desiccant packets and allows for the optimization of packaging space. Desi-Sheet maintains its flatness allowing packagers to incorporate a desiccant where space is a premium.
Unlike other flat desiccants on the market, Desi-Sheet does not contain calcium chloride, which creates a chemical reaction in order to absorb moisture in product packaging. Reactions are usually not desired within pharmaceutical or medical device packaging. The adsorption properties of Desi-Sheet are provided by either silica gel or bentonite clay which bind water without creating a chemical reaction.
Desi-Sheet is available with FDA compliance for direct contact with food and drugs.
