Moisture in tool boxes, chests, drawers, camera cases, Pelican cases, and any other enclosed area can contribute to rust, mold and mildew problems. This canister of silica gel is an effective method of reducing harmful moisture in an enclosed area.

The durable aluminum construction allows the canister to be used in just about any enclosure. The 4" x 2" x 1/2" canister contains 40 grams of silica gel to protect up to 3 cubic feet.

The moisture indicator on the front turns pink to let you know when the canister has reached its moisture saturation. Once it reaches its saturation, just toss it in your oven to recharge the canister. Canisters can be recharged as often as needed.

Please Note: When you first use the Silica Gel Canister in a particular area, it may become saturated rather quickly as it absorbs residual moisture. Once the residual dampness is removed, you can maintain a dry condition with less frequent need to reactivate.
