Ashley Falls, Mass. -- What are those little packets that come with new electronics, or in bottles of pills, or other items when purchased new?
Many people are not aware that the little packets contain silica gel, a product that is very effective at removing moisture from the air in a closed container protecting valuables from the damaging effects of humidity.
"Silica gel prevents moisture related problems before they begin. That is why so many products come with a small packet of silica gel. Silica gel creates a protective shield of dry air within any enclosed storage area," explained Diana Williams of Hydrosorbent Dehumidifiers.
Hydrosorbent Silica Gel Dehumidifiers are widely recognized as the best choice for protection from moisture. Five different Hydrosorbent Dehumidifiers are made to protect storage containers of different sizes. Each has a built-in indicator that signals when it is saturated and ready to be reactivated, according to information at the company web site http://www.Dehumidify.com.
"Each dehumidifier can be reactivated by heating it in a conventional oven. It can be reused over and over again indefinitely. For a product that has a retail cost starting at less than $7, that's a fantastic return on investment," said Williams.
Moisture in the air -- humidity -- can cause expensive damage, and even destroy prized possessions unless steps are taken for protection.
"It is not enough to lock guns in a safe, or put jewelry in a jewelry box. We put our valuables and expensive electronics in many different types of containers without giving much thought to moisture damage, until the damage has already been done," said Diana Williams of Hydrosorbent Dehumidifiers.
It happens all too often. Someone opens a container that has been stored away for months, or even years, to discover that an expensive item has rust, according to Williams.
"We spend a lot of money on guns, jewelry, electronics, and other items. We take all kinds of precautions to protect those items from theft, but we fail to take action to protect them from the most common form of damage -- moisture damage," she explained.
Since World War II, silica gel has been the desiccant of choice by government and industry, simply because it works so well at such a very low cost.
