Drierite Desiccants
Drierite Desiccants are anhydrous calcium sulfate approved for laboratory and life science applications. This substance has a neutral pH, is constant in volume and is chemically inert except in water. It is insoluble in organic liquids and refrigerants, non-disintegrating, non-wetting, non-toxic and non-corrosive. It is also non-channeling.
It is economical to use and can be regenerated for repeated usage. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA making it safe for food and beverage QC applications.
The typical analysis is greater than 99.5% CaS04. DRIERITE will absorb six to eight percent of its weight in water, depending on the relative humidity.
Indicating DRIERITE is impregnated with cobalt chloride. Indicating DRIERITE is blue when dry and changes to pink upon absorption of moisture. The color change is pronounced and clearly visible. It has the same efficiency as Regular DRIERITE, and somewhat greater capacity due to the desiccating effect of the cobalt chloride.
Drierite absorbs 6-8% of its weight in moisture and is fully regenerable for cost-effective reuse. Indicating Drierite transitions from blue (dry) to pink (saturated) for visual moisture monitoring. Sign in to your account or contact your sales rep for organizational pricing.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between indicating and non-indicating Drierite?
Indicating Drierite contains cobalt chloride for visual blue-to-pink color change when saturated. Non-indicating has the same efficiency without the color indicator.
Can Drierite be regenerated?
Yes. Heat treatment restores desiccant capacity for repeated use.
Is Drierite approved for food contact?
Yes. Drierite is FDA-recognized as GRAS.
