Armor Desiccant Products Image A desiccant is a drying agent used to quickly reduce the humidity inside a closed container to a predetermined lower value, and then to maintain the humidity at that lower level for a period of time. A desiccant attracts moisture from the atmosphere and adsorbs and holds particles of water to itself. Commonly used during shipping or storage of products. ARMOR offers three types of desiccants, Clay, Silica Gel and Molecular Sieve.
