A Desiccant is a dehumidifying agent which attracts moisture from the atmosphere. It adsorbs and holds particles of water to itself. Desiccants are generally packaged in bags, packets, or canisters. (Packets are sometimes referred to as "sachets" or "pouches.")
Desiccants in bags are commonly referred to as industrial desiccants and are primarily used by industry because their medium to large size enables them to adsorb moisture in heavy duty applications. However, these bags are also commonly used in non-industrial applications. Bagged desiccants are available in: Tyvek® (heat sealed); Kraft paper (heat sealed); & Lantuck non-woven rayon/polyester blend (string sewn).
Desiccants in packets are commonly referred to as pharmaceutical desiccants and are primarily used by the pharmaceutical industry because of their small size. However, other industries, such as electronics, optics, and food packaging also utilize these packets. Packet desiccants are available in: Tyvek (heat sealed); & GDTII (heat sealed).

The NEPS (Nitrogen Enhanced Purge System) 1000 provides easy-to-use purging with automatic operation & efficient use of nitrogen. It creates a dry environment within equipment or a system by measuring the dryness of the purged gas as it leaves the system being dried, thus minimizing the amount of nitrogen needed per purge.
