Solution for Moisture Sensitive Device and Pharmaceutical

DNP's Moisture Absorbing Laminate

This packaging material is designed to regulate internal moisture by blending a desiccant into a polyolefin-based film resin, allowing it to absorb moisture both inside the package and from its contents. For example, some pharmaceuticals are highly hygroscopic, absorbing moisture from the air and degrading over time, which leads to reduced efficacy. "DNP's Moisture-Absorbing Laminate" addresses this issue with high moisture absorption performance and flexible packaging design tailored to the specific needs of the contents.

What is "DNP's moisture absorbing laminate"?

A packaging material that absorbs moisture from both the package interior and its contents

This packaging material reduces the deterioration of pharmaceutical and food contents due to moisture, as well as malfunctions of medical and precision devices caused by humidity.

By absorbing moisture through a film blended with a desiccant, this packaging material can regulate internal humidity without the need for additional desiccant silica sachet, making it an effective moisture control solution for pharmaceuticals, food products, and medical devices.

Product features

Wide-area moisture absorption effect

While conventional desiccants provide localized moisture absorption, this film efficiently absorbs moisture over its entire surface thanks to the moisture-absorbing layer.

Ensuring end-user safety

To eliminate a risk of consumers accidentally ingesting desiccant silica sachet.

Compatible with small pouch

Even small pouch that can not enclose desiccant silica sachet can benefit from moisture control. Additionally, since separate desiccant silica sachet is not required, the overall packaging size can be reduced.

Simplified packaging process

By not using desiccants, the insertion process, its inventory management, and inspection procedures are reduced, leading to increased efficiency in the production process.

Moisture absorption performance

Absorption capacity

The moisture absorption capacity over time was measured for two types: 3.5g/m² and 6.0g/m². The graph indicates that once moisture is absorbed, it is not released again and maintaining a stable environment inside the package.

You can choose from the following two types based on the contents' requirements:

Moisture Absorption: 3.5g/m² Type
Moisture Absorption: 6.0g/m² Type

Main application fields & uses

Pharmaceuticals

DNP's moisture absorbing laminate is designed with moisture protection and absorption properties, helping to prevent the deterioration of packed contents.(e.g. granule, tablet, oral thin film)

Medical devices, precision electronic components

Electronic components in medical and precision devices can degrade or malfunction due to humidity. DNP’s packaging helps prevent rust and failures during international transportation.

Diagnostic devices

Diagnostic devices are sensitive to moisture and moisture may lead it to inaccurate result. Using moisture absorbing laminate helps to keep the pouch inside as dry as possible.
