Dry & Dry 2 Gram [100 Packets] Food Safe Silica Gel Packs Desiccants - Rechargeable Silica Gel Packets, Moisture Absorbers, Desiccants Packets, Silica Gel

Dehydrated snacks

I love alone but still like to buy in bulk these are perfect for keeping flour, sugar, rice, crackers, and other dry goods fresh for longer. I drop or or two in the canister, or vacuum seal one in with a half package to bust into later, and no more clumps or spoiled food. I also live in a humid environment, and this may sound so dumb, but I keep screws, nails, etc in jars or other sealing containers rather than the cardboard box or paper bag they came in, and leaving a silica packet in the container staves off rust. I am very happy with these.

Everyone has at one time or another seen the little packets that have the words “Do Not Eat” printed on them. They are typically the size of a sugar packet and included in plastic bags or boxes that house delicate electronic gear and the like. The purpose of these packets is to absorb moisture from the air surrounding the packaged device and to improve its survivability while awaiting sale and transport. These packets are called “desiccant packets” and contain silica gel as tiny, clear beads. They’re considered by many to be a single use item and thrown away once removed from the shipping packaging. Well, even after absorbing moisture the silica gel beads in the packets can be ‘recharged’ buy using a low heat soak and then used again. But who bothers to keep them and what other possible use could the packets have? I have a use, multiplied, and of course never saved my *free* desiccant packs! The process of using a special pigmented powder to coat metal parts rather than the traditional liquid paint is something I’m doing now and the nature of this powder requires that it stays very dry. As received the powder paint flows extremely well because it’s packaged dry and every time a container of powder is opened there is atmospheric moisture ready to sneak in and cause clumping. My purpose for buying these silica gel packs is to place one or two in each container of powder and preserve that ‘factory fresh’ flowing quality that’s needed for smooth and consistent application of this special material. The use of the packets is preventative, not generally a fix for an already deteriorated situation but I do have one case where I may be able to see a desiccant pack (X2) at work. One ‘economy’ powder coating is slightly clumpy and I’m assuming it’s due to excess moisture. I placed two 2gm packets in that container immediately after receiving my desiccant shipment. If the powder container is sealed securely I’m expecting an improvement in the flow and consistency of that powder. Using these desiccant packets can only help, and that’s my expectation.

Like it very much. My wife use them on every pair of heels she store. Nd I keep it in my tool boxes.. is perfect. I need bigger bag..

I needed these to drop in my ammo cans for lengthy storage and my wife uses for food storage .they work and can be reused. perfect
