Keeps insides of boxes and compartments dry...
Rating by : A. Weed,

I got this Dry-Pack Silica Gel Desiccant for my boat since boats are usually in very humid and wet environments. I have items stored in sealed boxes to keep them dry, but humidity (and sometimes rain drops) get in the boxes when they are opened. I put this item in one of the boxes to help keep the metal items from corroding and paper from getting soggy. It worked great and I will get more for the other boxes.

It is very light weight. Its small size will stay out of the way from other items. The casing is flimsy since the metal housing is made of very thin, soft metal; so you can't be abusive with it.

The great part about the dry pack is that it is reusable. Once it absorbs too much moisture, I can just put it in the oven on low heat and it will dry out and be ready for the next use (unlike the small paper silica packs). The dot in the center of the dry pack is the indicator and will change color when it is time to bake it in the oven.

Great product at a good price

I got 3 of these to keep the inside of some ammo cans dry. The color changing silica and little window on the cans are a nice feature. Once the silica changes color, you know it's absorbed as much water as it can and it's time to put them in the oven to recharge them.

The containers are thin aluminum with air holes, so be gentle with them.

How dry I am

I recently purchased a safe for my office in which to keep some important papers and a few portable USB drives. I noticed, when selecting my safe from Amazon, that there were some desiccant packs displayed on the same page, which I thought was curious. I investigated and found that flood proof safes are notorious for holding IN moisture as well as keeping it out. I read a few reviews of safes where people complained that some old documents were actually destroyed in their new safes because the owners locked their stuff in and didn't check on it for months. Do that on a quite humid day and you're locking all that humidity in your safe, along with your copy of the Guttenberg Bible.

So, at the same time I purchased the safe, I got a couple of these 40 gram silica desiccant packs. They came nicely sealed in a plastic wrap. They seem smaller than the photo would make them appear, but size matters in safes! The smaller, the better, as long as the desiccant does its job. So far, after a few weeks of rainy weather and multiple openings of my new safe, the first pack seems to be doing the job. My papers are fine, the silica hasn't changed color yet, and I have a fresh one, still in the plastic wrap, ready to go into service if duty calls.
