Abstract
A desiccant system and a method for producing the same wherein a container is provided with a desiccant sheet that is trapped within the container and a water vapor impermeable cover for the container making a water impermeable seal thereto. The sheet may have a first substrate, and optionally, a second substrate, and desiccant particles adhered to the first substrate or trapped between the first substrate and the second substrate. A binder material may fuse the desiccant particles to one another and to the substrates. The sheet may be trapped within the bottle due to its tendency to unfurl to a flat condition, or it may be adhered to an inner surface of the bottle.
Claims12
A desiccant system comprising:
- a bottle having sidewalls thereof;
- and
- a desiccant sheet having characteristics that cause said desiccant sheet to unfurl within said bottle to a substantially flat configuration wherein said desiccant sheet comprises:
- a first substrate that faces contents to be placed in said bottle, the first substrate being water vapor permeable;
- and
- a composite layer formed on the first substrate, the composite layer including desiccant particles and binder particles having an average particle size of about 10 to about 30 microns, a portion of the binder particles adhering the desiccant particles to one another and a portion of the binder particles adhering the desiccant particles to the first substrate.
