What a dessicant is used for?
This is a product that absorbs humidity off the surrounding air, hence drying it. Is made of some humidity absorbing material which is provided within a sac. These sacs are usually placed inside moisture sealed antistatic bags as to eliminate any humidity that may have remained at the time of closing the bag, also will continue absorbing humidity should any leaks into the bag occur whilst on transit or elsewhere, these units can be baked as to revitalise them. You will find dessicant sacs with any electronics’ equipment you purchase these days. Some standards provide an empiric formulae to help calculate the number of dessicant units needed to cover a space in a bag. Usually humidity indicator cards are used in conjunction with the diseccants as to see, through the bags, whether de inside of the bags have a humidity value within limits.
