Dri-Can® Reusable Desiccant Canister

Dri-Can^® Reusable Desiccating Canisters protect all types of articles from deterioration, rust, corrosion, mold, mildew and other damage caused by moisture or high humidity. Simply place Dri-Can^® together with the article to be protected in a tightly closed or sealed moisture resistant container. Dri-Can^® will rapidly and actively desiccate the surrounding air and keep it that way to protect against moisture damage.

Dri-Can^® Reusable Desiccating Canisters have several distinct advantages:

• Reusable over and over
• Regenerated easily by microwave or conventional oven
• High moisture capacity
• Easy to use

Typical applications include:

• Laboratory equipment and chemicals
• Cameras, lenses, photos and film
• Scientific instruments
• Medical and dental instruments
• Tools
• Museum and historical artifacts
• Clothing and fabrics
• Shoes and leather articles
• Electronics cabinets

The "forever" desiccant for a variety of applications

Dri-Can^® is a small, perforated canister containing an indicating silica gel. The case is lightweight yet strong, designed to withstand years of use. The desiccant content has a reversible action. Once it has adsorbed all the moisture it can hold, indicated by a color change from blue to pink, it can be regenerated easily by microwave or conventional oven. After regeneration, Dri-Can^® will be capable of readsorbing its full capacity.

High moisture capacity

The desiccant material within Dri-Can^® attracts water vapor and holds it physically through surface adsorption and capillary condensation. It has a tremendous number of microscopic pores which give it a high moisture capacity. One Dri-Can^® can maintain a safe level of humidity in three cubic feet of sealed space.

Easy to monitor and regenerate

Available in a metal or plastic case, Dri-Can^® has either a monitor window in the metal case or a see-through, translucent plastic case. When the desiccant turns pink, it indicates that a saturation point has been reached. Regeneration can be achieved by microwave or conventional oven.

• Conventional Oven - (Metal or plastic case) - Heat Dri-Can^® in vented oven at 149°C (300°F) for three hours.
• Microwave Oven - (Plastic case only) - Heat Dri-Can^® in microwave on high (using a 900 watt microwave) in 3 minute intervals until beads turn blue. Time may vary depending on wattage of the microwave used to regenerate.

CAUTION: Allow sufficient cooling before removing Dri-Can^® from an oven or microwave to reduce risk of personal injury. Damage to desiccant may occur in microwave ovens over 900 watts or from temperatures above 163°C (325°F). Under extreme humid conditions, desiccant may achieve rapid saturation which reduces absorption capacity. Allow sufficient space between the Dri-Can^® openings and the microwave to let steam vent away from the Dri-Can^®.
