Nowadays, many industries use desiccants. Different types of desiccants have different requirements for their saturation and equilibrium capacity. What are saturation and equilibrium capacity? Today, the editor of Mingwei will explain to you:

Equilibrium capacity means that the desiccant absorbs enough moisture from the air, and then the atmosphere's ability to hold moisture exceeds the desiccant's ability to absorb moisture. At this time, adding a lot of desiccant will not reduce the relative humidity of the environment. Saturation means that the desiccant is full, even if there is more water vapor, it can't absorb it. Silica gel desiccant can be conveniently placed in electronic products, instruments, household appliances, mechanical equipment and other products to prevent the quality of the product itself from being affected by moisture. Silica gel desiccant can be used to prevent moisture in bottled medicines and foods. Ensure that the contents are dry and avoid the growth of various miscellaneous molds. The desiccant is very suitable for hygroscopic environment at room temperature (20~32℃) and high temperature (60~90℃). It can reduce the relative humidity of the environment to about 40%, so the application range of desiccant is very wide. Human body is harmful. Desiccants are widely used in the storage and transportation of instruments, meters, equipment, leather, bags, shoes, textiles, food, medicines, etc., to control the relative humidity of the environment to prevent items from getting damp, mildew and rust.
