Why Upgrade to Spherical Mineral Desiccant?
While you want the cost benefits of clay, you can’t accept the “mess” associated with traditional crushed minerals. Here is how our technology solves your quality and sustainability challenges:
1. Eliminate Packaging Dust & Debris
Your premium product deserves a pristine presentation. The last thing you want is for your customer to open a shipment of electronics or luxury leather, only to find a layer of fine clay dust covering the product. This happens when irregular “crushed” clay desiccants grind against each other during transit, creating dust that leaks through low-quality packaging.
We engineer the dust out with a Dual-Protection System. First, unlike irregular crushed minerals, our Spherical Granulation Technology creates smooth, hard beads that minimize internal friction and breakage. Second, we encapsulate these beads in high-density, dust-proof packaging materials. This double barrier guarantees zero dust leakage, ensuring your products arrive exactly as you packed them, clean and professional.
2. Relieve Sustainability Pressure
Your clients in the EU and US are demanding plastic-free or natural packaging materials. Continuing to rely on synthetic Silica Gel is becoming a compliance burden that complicates your supply chain relationships.
We give you a natural advantage. Our product is derived directly from nature, making it non-toxic, non-corrosive, and 100% biodegradable. It meets all RoHS and REACH standards, allowing you to satisfy your clients’ eco-requirements effortlessly.
3. Escape Rising Material Costs
You shouldn’t have to pay for market volatility. You know the struggle: the price of synthetic desiccants fluctuates wildly with chemical and energy costs, making it difficult to keep your Bill of Materials stable.
We offer financial stability. As a naturally abundant mineral, Attapulgite offers stable pricing and a high performance-to-cost ratio. It is the smart economic choice that protects your margins without sacrificing performance.
Traditional clay is cheap but dusty; silica gel is clean but expensive and synthetic. We offer the best of both worlds. Our Spherical Mineral Desiccant provides the cleanliness of silica gel with the eco-friendliness and cost stability of natural clay. It is the modern upgrade your packaging line needs.

Mineral Desiccant: Frequently Asked Questions
The key difference is the shape and dust level. Our Mineral Desiccant uses Attapulgite clay processed into hard, round beads. This makes them physically stronger and virtually dust-free compared to the irregular, crushed texture of standard Montmorillonite clay, which can create dust during friction.
It depends on the humidity. At low-to-medium humidity (RH < 50%), Mineral Desiccant performs comparably to Silica Gel. While Silica Gel has a higher total capacity at extreme humidity, Mineral Desiccant offers a far better price point and is 100% biodegradable, making it the smart choice for sustainable packaging.
While the raw material is natural and non-toxic, our standard industrial mineral desiccant is designed for non-food applications. For food applications, we recommend our specialized Desiccant or Oxygen Absorbers. Please consult our team for food-grade options.
Because Attapulgite is a natural mineral, the desiccant beads are 100% biodegradable and can be disposed of as general waste without harming the environment. It degrades rapidly in nature.
