Countless industries require moisture-free packaging and production for their products. To that end, they use many desiccants and absorbents, like silica gel.

Here are some industries that use such desiccants.

Cleaning solution

In the food industry, cleaners such as those made from absorbents are used as part of a cleaning process before packaging food products for selling and consumption. Absorbents in the cleaning solutions can absorb fats, oils, or grease from surfaces. This prevents them from contaminating the product that is being manufactured or packaged.

Pharmaceutical industry

Desiccants are used in manufacturing pharmaceutical products to maintain original moisture levels that must be met by law for the production and preservation of prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications.

Textile industry

Absorbent materials are used in the textile industry to absorb excess moisture from cotton fibers during manufacturing to maintain quality and prolong the product’s durability.

Wood industry

Absorbents are used during the production of lumber and other wood products to maintain moisture levels in wood for construction.

Chemical industry

Desiccants are used to remove excess moisture from raw chemicals like sand, salt, and alumina used in various manufacturing processes because water mixed with these chemicals could freeze and create impurities that would render them unusable or less effective than desired in the final product.
