DIN 55473 Compliance Desiccant

What is DIN 55473?

DIN 55473 is a German industrial standard that defines the requirements, testing, and labelling for desiccants used in packaging to protect goods from moisture damage during storage and transportation.

Cargo Desiccant Bags – DIN 55473 Compliant

Cargo desiccant bags are crucial for protecting products while they are being stored and transported. Cargo desiccant bags contain high-performance desiccant materials such as clay (bentonite) or silica gel, offering an adsorption capacity that fully complies with DIN 55473, the German industrial standard for desiccants.

Where and When to Use DIN 55473 Desiccants

Desiccants produced in compliance with the German industrial standard DIN 55473 are commonly used by exporters. The DIN 55473-compliant cargo desiccant bags are hung or placed inside the packaging of the items that must be transported or kept in storage.

Clay desiccant, as defined by DIN 55473, shields delicate items from moisture while being stored or transported for extended periods of time. Products that meet DIN 55473 standards prevent corrosion, mould growth, and other damage caused by moisture. They are ideal for shielding pharmaceutical preparations, leather goods, machinery, chemicals, and electronic equipment from high humidity.
