Moisture protection should fit your operation

Our fiber desiccant is designed for brands and manufacturers that need reliable moisture control without bulky sachets, loose silica gel, or unnecessary plastic. Each format can be customized based on product sensitivity, target absorption, machine compatibility, and packaging space.

  • Industrially compostable to EN 13432
  • Available in thin, low-profile formats including 0.7 mm and 1 mm, with custom specifications available based on application needs.
  • ATMOSIScience desiccant is made with a plant-fiber absorbing core and wrapped in a paper-based, printable outer layer, giving brands a cleaner, thinner, and more sustainable alternative to loose silica gel sachets.

Two formats. One fiber platform.

Patented lignocellulose fiber with calcium chloride. Sachets, paper desiccant cards and die-cut discs from one platform.

Same protection, less mass: a 2 g fiber desiccant card absorbs as much moisture as a 5 g silica gel sachet.

Two mechanisms. One composite.

Why fiber outperforms purely physical adsorbents.

Mechanism 1

Physical adsorption

Porous lignocellulose draws moisture into micro-channels by capillary action, faster uptake than dense clay.

Mechanism 2

Chemical binding

Calcium chloride locked in the fiber matrix hydrogen-bonds water, high capacity with no brine leak, dust, or corrosion.

FAQ

Can fiber replace silica gel 1-for-1 by weight?

Yes, usually with far less mass. At RH 90% / 25°C, 1 kg of fiber absorbs ~1.5 L of water versus ~0.3 L for silica gel. Most carton applications need one-third to one-fifth of the silica-gel mass.

Is the Fiber Desiccant Card a paper desiccant?

Yes. Fiber Desiccant Card is our paper desiccant: a thin, paper-like card made from patented plant fiber with calcium chloride locked in the fiber matrix, laminated with a printable compostable film. It absorbs over 70% of its own weight at 25°C / RH 90%, comes in 0.7–1.0 mm thicknesses, and is die-cut to fit bottle caps, blister packs, pouches and garment tags.

What documentation do you provide for food and pharmaceutical packaging reviews?

Every quote ships with the document pack: MSDS, SGS recyclability report CQMR260700043401, ISO 14067 product carbon footprint, RoHS and heavy-metal results (lead and arsenic at or below 1 µg/ml, E. coli not detected), plus the EN 13432 compostability test basis. Qualify the material against your own food-contact or pharmacopoeia requirements using that pack. Standard desiccant handling warnings apply: not intended to be ingested.

How is this different from clay-based green desiccants?

Clay products cap out around 25–35% absorption by weight, similar to silica gel. The fiber active delivers over 100% (FPH-1) or over 70% (Fiber Desiccant Card, our paper desiccant). The compostable-bag story is comparable; the performance story is materially different.

Is it certified for the EU?

Yes: SGS Compostable (EN 13432), ISO 14067 product carbon footprint, and SGS Anti-mould. Full certificates are available on request.
