Wahren Desiccant Foil

Desiccant Foil is manufactured by Wahren. This specialized packaging material is designed to provide enhanced moisture protection for pharmaceutical and moisture-sensitive products by integrating desiccant properties within the packaging structure.

The laminate typically combines aluminium foil with polymer layers and desiccant components, creating a barrier that not only prevents moisture ingress but also actively absorbs residual moisture inside the package. This ensures improved product stability, extended shelf life, and protection for highly hygroscopic formulations.

Desiccant Foil is widely used in pharmaceutical packaging applications where strict moisture control is essential to maintain product quality and efficacy.

Applications

Desiccant Foil is used in pharmaceutical and healthcare packaging to provide additional moisture protection for sensitive products.

Typical applications include:

  • Packaging of moisture-sensitive tablets and capsules

  • Pharmaceutical strip and blister packaging

  • Nutraceutical and healthcare products

  • Packaging for hygroscopic formulations

  • Export packaging requiring extended shelf life
