Moisture is a dangerous enemy of products such as printed circuit boards, optical equipment, electronics, and parts stored in museums, for example. Mould, damp, rust, and a general reduction in product performance are a common result of moisture attack, costing millions of dollars in claims or unused products every year.
Desicorr® Pouches NW (NW without window) protect against this damage by absorbing the moisture that builds up inside the packaging.
The moisture absorber that changes colour
Desicorr® is a specially designed moisture absorber that comes either with or without a transparent window. The window version contains indicators that change colour from yellow to green to show that the moisture absorber is fully used.
This is important to know, so that new absorbent can be added if necessary. The desiccant can be reused if it is heated to allow the absorbed moisture to evaporate.
For those more interested in maximum moisture absorption, Desicorr® Pouches NW (without window) are the ones to use. Here the transparent window is replaced by a "breathable" membrane which allows the absorbent to absorb moisture more quickly from both sides of the pack.
Desicorr® Pouches NW are designed to protect goods that are packed in a moisture-proof barrier packaging.
They are easy to insert manually or automatically, without any degreasing or cleaning of the parts first.
The number of DesiCorr that should be used depends on the transport conditions and the types of parts to be protected.
