Clay desiccant are a newly developed desiccant. Betonies clay mainly consists of montmorillonite. It is scale like, in colour of white, grey, buff, pink, purple etc. it is a natural non-metallic sedimentary or volcanic mineral. Some are with porous structure, some are hard and bricked, and some are softly and satiny. It shows greater water vapour adsorption capability as compared to the compared to the conventional desiccant, such as Silica Gel or CaO; is a non- toxic, harmless and environmentally friendly product. It generally uses for various products such as auto/spare parts, electrical appliances, electronics, furniture, footwear, leather good, machinery etc.
