Simply place a Desiccant Container together with the item​ ​that is​ to be protected in a tightly closed or sealed moisture resistant container. Desiccant Container will rapidly and actively remove moisture and maintain dryness of the surrounding air to protect against moisture damage. It will absorb up to 34% of its own weight in water vapour.

Silica gel beads are orange in colour when active (dry). The gel beads will gradually change colour from orange to green as they absorb moisture. Once the gel beads turn green, they are no longer active and must be heated to remove the accumulated moisture using a conventional oven at 250° F for 3 hours. Avoid overheating while drying. When the colour of the gel beads returns to orange, the container is ready to be reused.
