Vapor barriers are essential for the transport and storage of moisture-sensitive products (e.g. parts, medicines, textiles).
Bentonite is a natural mineral that can absorb many times its volume in moisture. It can be effectively used in many fields, including the construction industry (for example, as a raw material for slurry) and the beauty industry (creams, skin care products).

- If you choose to transport items by sea you have to face such extreme levels of humidity during the long transit period which may cause to humidification and moulding.
- If you wish to deliver valuable technical items worth thousands of EUR per piece to your customers and partners, the high moisture content of saline sea air may attack the sensitive parts which results in rusting. The easiest way to protect against humidity in the surrounding air is to use vapour barrier bags.
Sodium bentonite – Say good-bye to the mould and rust of the shipments.
The easiest way to protect your goods against humidity in the surrounding air is to use desiccant bags.
Sodium bentonite is a natural clay mineral that is formed by the deposition of volcanic ash. Due to its unique properties, it is perfect for blocking humidity.
Excellent dehumidifying ability
The most important feature of bentonite is that it has an exceptional water absorption capacity. We are talking about 100% natural solution that provides direct protection for your shipment while also absorbing unpleasant odors. With the help of this product, a safe, 10- 30% moisture level can be guaranteed inside the package.
A safe and environmentally friendly choice
The production of bentonite requires a small amount of energy and chemicals, compared to the frequently used synthetic silica gel, and therefore deserves the 100% eco-friendly title. It does not contain any excipients that are harmful to health. It is not flammable or water- soluble and can be safely used with food and medicinal products. It can be handled and fully recycled similar to household waste.
Economical use
In addition to their many great qualities, those desiccant bags that contain bentonite are also becoming more and more popular due to their reasonable price. They can be produced cheaper compared to silica gel and are therefore they are a much more economical alternative. They can be re-activated and re-used in an oven heated to 245 °C for 16 hours.
The desiccant bags are small and light and do not cause significant changes in the weight and shape of the cargo. This way, your transport costs won’t go through the roof.
Wide range of products for a wide variety of needs
Bentonite is also available in different pack sizes. The most popular are the 16 and 8 unit packs. The unit of desiccant (U = unit) refers to its drying capacity.
A unit can absorb at least 3 grams of water vapour at a relative humidity of 20%. You can also purchase our desiccant bags in additional versions.
