Desiccants
When you need maximum dryness during transportation and storage of your sensitive surface mount devices (SMD’s), add desiccants to your Dri-Shield moisture barrier bag. Desiccants work by efficiently absorbing airborne moisture left inside the bag after vacuum sealing, and capturing moisture that manages to pass through the bag material.
Secure in a strong envelope of either clean room compatible, sulphur-free Tyvek or economical Kraft paper, these desiccants help keep your devices dry. Meets the requirements of EIA 583 and MIL-D-3464, Types I and II. Choose from eight sizes for just the right amount of protection.

Humidity Indicator Cards
Confirm that your Dri-Shield moisture barrier bags and desiccants have done their job by adding a Humidity Indicator Card (HIC) to each package. Moisture sensitive spots on the HIC respond to various levels of humidity with a visible color change from blue to pink. Examining the cards when you open the bag will indicate the humidity level components are experiencing, and will help to determine whether the components are dry enough for solder reflow.
