Moisture Control

Desiccants and other products to keep moisture in check and protect your items in shipping, packaging or storage.

Rusted partWhen moisture and metal get together, it is never a good thing. If left to their own devices, you can bet that the odds are corrosion will set in. Unless, that is, Armor Protective Packaging® is on the scene.

Master Before Disaster – Your Moisture Prevention Experts

ARMOR has more than 40 years experience in protecting metal and metal parts from the damage and evils of rust and corrosion. ARMOR VCI Nanotechnology™, our “secret formula” for vapor corrosion inhibitor, is infused into packaging materials such as Kraft paper and poly film and works to keep the surface of metal free from rust. When you combine the benefits of VCI with ARMOR brand desiccant for moisture control, the two provide metal/metal parts a turbo-boost of protection to keep them clean and rust-free while packaged, stored or shipped.

Hang Rust and Corrosion Out-to-Dry with ARMOR Desiccants

We’re Eradicators of Rust and if you’re looking to master moisture control in your plant or facility, we’ve got the “goods” to get it done. We offer a line of ARMOR brand desiccants that will keep the environment surrounding metal parts so dry that it will knock your socks off.

With ARMOR SHIELD® Desiccants, the job of managing moisture and humidity is cut-and-dried. Whether you need the industrial-strength adsorption of ARMOR Clay, the high-heat performance of Silica Gel, or the “two-for-one” punch of our SMARTY PAK™ (VCI + desiccant), we’ve got a solution to keep your environment bone-dry. These powerful pouches work by grabbing water vapor right out of the air, significantly reducing the relative humidity inside your packaging. Application is as simple as “drop and ship”—just insert a pack into your parts bin or hang a larger pouch in your export container to stop “container rain” in its tracks. When you pair ARMOR desiccants with our signature VCI Nanotechnology™, moisture and rust don’t stand a chance.
