Commercial Desiccant, 50 lb, 6 Mesh Size, White, Powder, Steel Drum Packaging Type, ~7 pH Range, 2.32 to 2.41 Specific Gravity, Used to Maintain a Dry Atmosphere in Storage Spaces
Drierite™ desiccants are made from the naturally occurring mineral, gypsum (calcium sulfate), and are available in several varieties designed to solve all types of drying problems. Drierite™ is an all purpose drying agent for the efficient and rapid drying of air, industrial gases, refrigerants, organic liquids and solids. It is used to maintain a dry atmosphere in storage spaces, vaults, commercial packages, and other enclosures; and for the protection of hygroscopic materials or materials subject to mildew, corrosion, rust, or other deterioration caused by high humidity. Commercial Drierite™ is anhydrous calcium sulfate. It is of neutral pH, constant in volume, chemically inert except toward water, insoluble in organic liquids and refrigerants, non-disintegrating, non-wetting, non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-channeling, generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA, not regulated by OSHA, economical to use, and can be regenerated repeatedly for reuse. Uses include drying organic liquids, polyurethane reactants, gases and solids.
