Review on πŸ“¦ INTERTECK PACKAGING Silica Gel Packets by Ryan Sandell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Tyvek wrap fails during reactivation

I do not recommend others to purchase. The product works well when it's fresh out of the box, but here's what I've noted below.1. The label says these are 120g packets but on my gram scale they actually weigh 107g so you get 10% of the product. The adhesive on the Tyvek packaging will not work if you try to reactivate the desiccant according to the oven manufacturer's instructions. Two hours in the oven at 220 degrees is enough for the glue to fail.3. Repeated microwaving according to package directions will have no effect. I weighed the bag before and after microwaving according to the instructions and found that the weight has not changed. It took 17 minutes at 10% power to achieve a 6g moisture reduction.4. Microwave heating, even on very low power, will cause the bag to puff up like a bag of popcorn, stressing the Tyvek.5's seams. The outer foil packaging that the product comes in is left unsealed which means unused pouches are not necessarily fresh when you use them.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
