Bsc Preferred DES142 Silica Gel Desiccant Packets 3000/pail

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED DES142 is a silica gel desiccant packet designed to prevent moisture damage inside small, sealed packages. Each packet is filled with amorphous silicate, a material that delivers high-capacity moisture adsorption at temperatures below 75 degrees F and relative humidity levels above 40 percent. The packets are strong and durable, built to withstand handling in packaging environments without tearing or leaking. Each unit protects up to 94 cubic inches of enclosed space. This case contains 3,000 packets packed in a 5-gallon pail, making it well suited for high-volume packaging operations in food, pharmaceutical, or consumer goods facilities.

The DES142 is used wherever small sealed packages require desiccant protection during storage or shipment. Typical applications include bottled supplements, bagged hardware, electronics components, and food packaging lines. The silica gel filling meets FDA specifications for direct contact with food and drugs, making it appropriate for regulated packaging environments where product safety and compliance are required. Packaging technicians and production line operators are the primary users of this product.

Installation Notes

Insert packets into sealed packages prior to final closure. Do not place packets in open or unsealed containers, as effectiveness depends on an enclosed environment. Keep unused packets sealed in the pail until ready for use to preserve adsorption capacity. No tools are required for insertion; follow applicable FDA or industry packaging guidelines for desiccant placement in regulated product lines.
