Silica Gel Desiccant Paper for Battery Protection

Desiccant paper used to keep a battery pack moisture-free

IMPAK’s multiple product lines of Desiccant Paper continue to offer some of the most diverse solutions to complex packaging and sorbent problems. Desiccant paper offers high capacity adsorption within a semi-rigid structure, which speaks to its incredible versatility in the packaging industry. Our desiccant paper feature millions of adsorbent particles contained in a semi-rigid cellulose fiber matrix, which enables fast drying and extraordinary versatility in package design.

The finished pieces can be machine cut to meet a wide variety of technical drawing specifications or any specialized functions. With 2 grades (Grade 460 and Grade 105) and thicknesses of silica gel impregnated cellulose fibers and 1 industrial carbon-impregnated paper, IMPAK now offers 3 distinctly different types of sorbent loaded paper substrates to meet a wide variety of applications.

Many desiccants are rated by their adsorption or pick up by weight, but in the case of Grade 460 desiccant paper which is 67% silica gel by weight, the pick up is calculated at 0.07 grams of water vapor adsorbed per square inch (0.07g/in2 or 10.12 grams per square foot (10.12g/in²). Grade 460 is also a nominal 54 mils thick or 0.054", making it an ideal desiccant option when circumstances do not permit a standard pillow pack.
