DESICCANT CANISTERS

Desiccant canisters provide a drop-in style desiccant and sorbent component that helps to maintain drug stability and prolong shelf life inside healthcare packaging containers. Available with a variety of active materials, canisters offer the added benefit of high-speed insertion-ability of standard packaging equipment. Unlike desiccant packets, canisters do not require a cutting process for automatic insertion.

Canisters are ideal for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products that are susceptible to either chemical or physical degradation due to moisture. Silica gel (silicone dioxide) and molecular sieve (zeolite) are offered depending on the moisture adsorption attributes required for any given application. Active carbon is used either independently or in combination with silica gel to provide odor adsorption properties.
