Activated Clay Desiccant, also known as Bentonite, protects industrial packaging from moisture and temperature. The desiccant is not chemically altered as a naturally occurring product. It has the moisture absorption capacity to protect packed products from damage. The desiccant is the least expensive and cost-effective product many packaging industries use to protect consumer goods from moisture attacks.

Activated clay is chemically inert and non-toxic, making it safe to handle and easily disposed of. The clay is usually more economical than chemically synthesized adsorbents like silica gel or molecular sieves.
