Silica Gel

  • Frequently used in food and pharmaceutical applications

  • High crush strength and high porosity

  • Remains dry and free flowing even when saturated

  • Has relatively high capacity for moisture at temperatures below 25°C (77°F) with relative humidity above 40%

  • Chemically inert, non-corrosive and non-toxic

Indicating Silica Gel

  • Color changes to indicate moisture content

  • High crush strength and high porosity

  • Remains dry and free flowing even when saturated

  • Has relatively high capacity for moisture at temperatures below 25°C (77°F) with relative humidity above 40%

  • Chemically inert, non-corrosive

Molecular Sieve

  • Uniform adsorptive pore size makes it an excellent sorbent for water

  • Greater capacity for water adsorption than either clay or silica gel where temperature exceeds 25°C (77°F) and/or critical relative humidity is below 40%

  • Added capacity to adsorb organic odor-causing molecules

Clay (Montmorillonite)

  • Produced by the controlled drying of montmorillonite, a naturally occurring mineral

  • Essentially non-swelling

  • Can both take on and give up moisture without deterioration

Activated Carbon

  • Foremost sorbent for organic molecules and sulfur-bearing compounds

  • Primary application is removal of volatile and odor particles

Moisture/Odor Blends

  • Mixtures of clay or silica gel with activated carbon in a 50/50 or 60/40 ratio

  • Provides both desiccating and odor gathering properties in a single packet


A Choice of Sorbent Blends
StripPax® can be produced in a wide selection of sorbents and sorbent blends to meet your specific needs. Blends of odor and moisture adsorbent compounds may be furnished when both odor and moisture protection are desired
