SORB-IT® (Silica Gel) GDTII Packets

Sorb-It GDTII packets include silica gel desiccant which is made from amorphous silicate. It is a hard, translucent material with an extremely high capacity for moisture at temperatures below 75°F and at humidity levels above 40% RH. Sorb-It is designed to control moisture levels within packaged products. The function of Sorb-It when controlling moisture is like that of a tiny sponge with millions of microscopic pores. Under very low humidity conditions, a small amount of water vapor will be adsorbed in the smallest pores. As humidity increases, the large pores will begin to fill. Unlike a sponge, however, Sorb-It remains dry and free-flowing, even at maximum adsorption capacity.

This packet material is the best value for most small packaging applications. GDTII is tear-resistant , flexible, low-linting, allows a high adsorption rate, and features good seal strength. Sorb-It GDTII packets are also approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for direct contact with food and pharmaceuticals.

Sorb-It in gram size packets are typically used to protect small enclosures; they range in size from 1/4 gram to 10 grams.
