Silica gel sachets are widely used across many industries to prevent corrosion, mildew and moisture damage by absorbing moisture within boxes, crates or containers.
We recommend 170 grammes per cubic meter volume and the sachets will absorb 22-24% of their weight.

Moisture is a silent threat to high-precision engineering, metallurgy, and electronics. L-PAC’s industrial-grade silica gel sachets provide active, dependable defense against moisture damage, condensation, mold, and corrosion during long-term storage or international marine freight. These packets contain highly porous, premium amorphous silica gel that aggressively adsorbs moisture from the surrounding air within sealed packaging, dropping the relative humidity well below the threshold where rust and oxidation form.
Essential for precision engineering firms, aerospace component manufacturers, and defence contractors operating out of industrial centres like Teesside, Tyneside, Lancashire, and Greater Manchester, our desiccant sachets prevent any leakage from coming into contact with your pristine metal parts. From compact 1-gram packets for delicate electronics to heavy-duty multi-hundred-gram sachets for large machinery crates, L-PAC helps you safeguard your products on every journey.
How do silica gel sachets prevent rust on precision-machined steel parts?
Rust and corrosion require ambient moisture to form. By trapping water molecules from the air inside the sealed bag or crate, silica gel sachets lower the relative humidity, keeping metal surfaces dry and rust-free.
What wrapper materials are used for your desiccant sachets?
We supply sachets encased in durable, non-dusting Tyvek or premium breathable paper, ensuring maximum moisture absorption while preventing any dust or fibre contamination.
How do I calculate the correct volume of silica gel needed for an export crate?
The required amount depends on the volume of the container, the barrier material used (e.g., polythene rolls), and the transit duration. Our technical team can help you calculate the exact desiccant weight required for your shipments.
Are your silica gel packets non-toxic and safe for handling?
Yes, our standard silica gel is non-hazardous, chemically inert, and non-toxic, making it safe and easy to integrate into regular industrial assembly and packing lines.
What is the shelf-life of unopened silica gel sachets when stored in a warehouse?
When kept in their original, airtight L-PAC moisture-barrier packaging, our silica gel sachets remain fully active and ready for use for over 12 months from delivery.
