    Image of Product. Front orientation. Desiccants. Absorption-Indicating Desiccants, Bags.
    Bags turn from blue to pink after absorbing 8% of their weight.
    These desiccants are best when relative humidity is at least 40%. The area covered is calculated at 77° F and 40% humidity.
    The bags have a monitoring window to check for desiccant color change.

    Rechargeable Small-Space Dehumidifiers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dehumidifiers. Rechargeable Small-Space Dehumidifiers.
    Place these dehumidifiers in small spaces to protect moisture-sensitive materials such as photo lenses or 3D printing filaments. They absorb moisture with a silica gel that changes color, letting you know when they’re saturated. While they don’t need a battery or power cord during use, you do plug them in to dry them out—unlike other desiccants, they don’t require an oven.
