DESIPAK@
DESI PAK@ unit bags exceedthe requirements of Mil-D-3
actual performance and will exceedthe moisture vapour a
tion of silica gel at government specificationlevels. The pe
mance charac"teristi6
of DESI PAK@ is indicated on the 6h
below, showing the amount of moisture vapour adsorbed
various humiditv levels.
The DESI PAKdperformance curve exceedsboth military
tions, which is the industry standard,and the silica gel pe
mance curve for these same specifications.At 20Vorelativ
dity, DESI PAK@ will adsorb 5070more moisture than req
MiL-D-3464E,whereas silica gel will only adsorb 3.5% mo
ture than required by Mil-D-34648.

DESI PAK@ meets Method II packagingstandardsdescrib
Mil-P-116E,which coversthe basic requirements of milita
ging methods of preservation.This involves packagingan
inside a sealed waterproof and moisture vapourproof cont
with the inclusion of a desiccantto prevent rust, mildew
sion damage.In method II packaging,the packageis main
a safe humidity below 40VoRH during the normal storag
of 1,8months to 2 vears.
No matter how much care is exercisedin producing a des
is only effective when it is active. Each pail or drum of D
PAK@ contains a humiditv indicator cat'd to insure that th

cant remains active, it is essentialthat the lid be tightly re
on its container.
