Activated Clay Desiccant Bags Tested & Proven Technology

MetPro activated clay is an organic product formulated to give extended rust protection to multiple metallic systems. The product will protect mild steel, zinc, aluminum, copper, tin and other metals and alloys. Activated clay desiccant bags are best used in conjunction barrier packaging. For oversea transport applications, it might make sense to apply even more VCI technology – the combination of both principles ensures rust prevention.

Our desiccants are very versatile and can be applied easily. They contain chemicals with high vapor pressure which can reach inaccessible areas. The activated clay is environmentally safe and user friendly, contain no nitrites, phosphates or heavy metals, and is biodegradable.

You can achieve effective protection for your large machines and large volume packaging by placing activated clay desiccant bags with metal parts hermetically sealed in barrier packaging.

Find the Real Source of Corrosion

Customers always look for an issue in their packaging (“it was packed in VCI, so why should it be corroded?”). The real source of corrosion happens before packaging, usually in the washing line, caused by poor maintenance, different materials being washed or simply by the wrong choice of product.

Fluids used during the manufacturing process can be basically split into 3 main groups:

1. Metalworking
2. Cleaning
3. Protective (Optional)

For each group, we have a selected line of products that can be used for specific operations according your requirements. Learn more here!

Why supply cleaners (washing liquids) and preventive coatings?

Most corrosion cases are caused by deposits from previous manufacturing processes – residues of washing liquids, metalworking fluids, dust, acid or base activators or passivators during different coating types or deposits of acid gases during the process.

Typical production cycle: 

Incoming material ,metalworking fluid, washing liquid ,VCI packaging, transportation, unpacking, corrosion observation

Customers always look for an issue in their packaging (“it was packed in VCI, so why should it be corroded?”). The real source of corrosion happens before packaging, usually in the washing line, caused by poor maintenance, different materials being washed or simply by the wrong choice of product.

Solve Your Packaging Hurdles with Help from MetPro!

Our customer, Tata Steel, encountered a problem with rolled coils of steel. They were getting dirty and corroded while being stored in warehouses prior to further conversion and packing. To try and protect the coils, they were covering the steel with lengths of clear plastic. 

When individual coils were selected for further processing and packing they had to be uncovered which was both time and labor intensive. 

We were asked if we could come up with a quick and easy solution to protect the individual coils.

How Do Desiccants Work?

Looking for a long term storage or transportation solution to help eliminate corrosion?

Do you want to use a product that’s environmentally safe?

Are you having a hard time calculating the right amount of desiccant you should be using?

Desiccants come in two formats; activated clay desiccants or silica gel desiccants. Both types of desiccants adsorb moisture within the packaging environment. The amount of moisture adsorbed within the packaging environment is dependent on the quality and quantity of desiccant that’s used. 

The sachets that are used to pack the silica gel desiccants are printed with “Do Not Eat” in black ink. A color is added to white silica gel material to act as a visual indicator. The color will show when the silica gel desiccant adsorbs moisture and may become inactive. If the silica gel desiccant is dried, the indicator will revert to its original color. 

Silica gel desiccants supplied by MetPro come in a number of sachet sizes. The silica gel consists of white beads within non-woven, non-shedding olefin. The material used to make our desiccants are EC food and DEF. STAND 81-68 approved.

The activated clay desiccants called CLIMAGEL are based on natural, environmentally friendly and inert desiccant clay that offers a very high adsorptive binding capacity. Our CLIMAGEL desiccants extract the moisture from the surrounding air in the packaging and bind it permanently.
