Desiccants in food storage

The use of desiccants is nothing new in food storage.  Military organizations all over the world have been trusting the food they eat to desiccants for many years. 

Interteck A.S. now supplies the very same desiccant products to you as those supplied to the pharmaceutical / biotechnology industry and the military.

What's most important is that you use them correctly.

Desiccants only work when they are contained within a controlled atmosphere.  Controlled atmospheres consists of any space or container which will not have any exchange of air.

Good controlled atmospheres are: Barrier bags, HDPE or steel gasketed pails or drums.

Bad controlled atmospheres are: Ziplock bags or most LDPE bags, cartons, boxes, non gasketed pails (no used pails, they may not provide an accurate seal)
