Sell Bentonite clay

Description

Clay desiccants are non-hazardous, moisture adsorbent substances created by the controlled drying of a calcium (bentonite) aluminosilicate clay. This naturally occurring montmorillonite clay has a special affinity for moisture and is chemically inert and non-corrosive. The layered structure of clay desiccant attracts and adsorbs moisture onto its surface and between its layers. Wisepac® is the trade name of the packaged clay (bags and packets) sold by Wisepac. Wisepac will protect the contents of a properly sealed container during shipping and storage (*****, the contents of a sealed container will be in the same condition as when they were packaged for shipment or storage). Clay is the least expensive of all desiccants and highly effective within normal temperature and relative humidity ranges. It is used in most industrial applications requiring humidity control. Clay desiccant can adsorb up to *8% of its weight in water vapor at *7°F (*5°C) and *0% relative humidity. At full moisture vapor capacity, Wisepac remains dry and free-flowing. There is no apparent change in size, shape, or texture of the desiccant. Clay desiccant works satisfactorily below **0°F (*9°C). Above **0°F (*9°C), there is a possibility that the clay will give up moisture rather than pull it in (silica gel or molecular sieve are suitable for such temperatures). Accordingly, anticipated storage and transportation conditions should be considered when deciding whether or not to use clay.
