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.
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
