PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS – DESICCANTS
1. What certifications should I look for when choosing desiccants for my industry?
You should ensure compliance with relevant standards: FDA (for food/healthcare), USP/NF (for pharmaceuticals), 21 CFR (US regulations), and EU food/packaging directives.
2. Which desiccant product is best for my industry?
The right product depends on your application (packaging size, product sensitivity, environment). Multisorb offers tailored solutions for industries such as cannabis, healthcare, food, electronics.
3. Are desiccants reusable or disposable?
Most of Multisorb’s desiccants are single use/disposable to ensure consistent performance. While some formats (e.g., basic silica gel) can theoretically be reactivated, the recommended format is disposable for regulated industries.
4. What types of industries benefit from desiccant packets and bags?
Industries where controlling the internal environment of a product is critical, pharmaceuticals (medications, diagnostics), nutraceuticals (supplements), food storage, electronics (humidity damage), cannabis (potency/preservation).
5. How do I determine the right size and type of desiccant packet for my product?
Factors include your product’s moisture sensitivity, packaging size and format, storage/transport conditions. Multisorb works with you to select correct sorbent type (silica gel, molecular sieve, activated carbon), and correct size/format.
6. What type of plastic are the canisters made with?
Multisorb’s desiccant canisters use FDA-compliant plastics like HDPE (high-density polyethylene), safe for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and diagnostic applications.
7. Does Multisorb help provide guidance on which canister works best in certain industries?
Yes, Multisorb’s experts work closely with clients to evaluate your packaging and industry, and recommend the appropriate canister solution.
8. What sets Multiform CSF canisters apart from traditional desiccant canisters?
These canisters deliver equivalent or better moisture control while using 65–85% less plastic, in a more compact design; they are non-dusting, press-formed solid-form sorbents compatible with existing canister dispensers.
9. Are Multiform CSF canisters compatible with existing dispensing equipment?
Yes, they are designed to run on standard canister dispensers without tooling change-over.
10. Can Multiform CSF canisters be customized to specific needs?
Yes, sizes, shapes and sorbent materials can be tailored to your packaging requirement.
PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS – OXYGEN ASORBERS
1. How should I store unused oxygen absorbers?
Store them in an airtight container (sealed) to avoid exposure to air, once exposed they begin to absorb oxygen prematurely. .
2. Are Multisorb’s oxygen absorbers FDA-compliant?
Yes, Multisorb’s oxygen absorbers meet FDA compliance for use in food and healthcare packaging.
3. How do I know the oxygen absorbers are still effective?
Multisorb’s absorbers include a HIC indicating card (such as color change) to show whether they remain active.
4. How do I know which canister size is right for my product (for StabilOx canisters/sachets)?
Multisorb offers a range of canister/sachet sizes and assists you through consultation to select best size based on your product’s oxygen exposure, volume and desired RH needed to best protect your product.
5.Can Multisorb canisters/sachets be reused?
No, oxygen absorber canisters (and sachets) are generally single-use. Once they have absorbed their oxygen quota, they no longer function.
6. Can StabilOx be used for non-pharmaceutical products?
Yes, while ideal for pharmaceuticals, StabilOx packets/canisters also work for other sensitive products like supplements, medical devices, other healthcare items.
7. How are StabilOx packets inserted into the packaging?
StabilOx packets can be manually inserted or through high-speed automated dispensing systems.
PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS – LIQUID SOLIDIFICATION

TROUBLESHOOTING AND BEST PRACTICES
1. What happens if I use too little sorbent?
You risk moisture or oxygen damage leading to product degradation or reduced shelf life.
2. What happens if I use too much sorbent?
Overuse increases costs and packaging space, with no added benefit. Multisorb helps optimize exact dosage.
3. How should I store unused sorbents?
Keep sealed in airtight containers to prevent premature activation.
4. How should used sorbents be disposed of?
Dispose in standard waste unless contaminated; consult local regulations for specifics.
5. How do I dispose of used single-use sorbents?
Used sorbents typically go into standard waste stream unless you have hazardous/oxygen-scavenged contaminants. For regulated industries, consult your waste management team; Multisorb can provide product material safety documentation if needed.
6. If my product’s formulation or packaging changes, do I need to re-evaluate the sorbent?
Yes, changes in product sensitivity, packaging size, barrier properties or storage/transport conditions can impact required sorbent. It’s advisable to run another simulation or consult Multisorb when you make such changes.
