DESI PAK® ECO (Clay) in Kraft Packets
Description
Overview
Clariant’s Desi Pak® ECO, distributed in North America by AGM Container Controls, redefines sustainable moisture protection. Made from 100% natural bentonite clay and packaged in bio-based, plastic-free paper, Desi Pak ECO offers the same reliable adsorption performance as other packaged desiccants — but with a dramatically smaller environmental footprint. As such, Desi Pak ECO is well positioned for manufacturers looking to transition toward sustainable packaging materials, or others looking for an environmentally sustainable alternative.
AGM provides full support for Desi Pak ECO, including sizing guidance and custom configurations.
