Desiccant from GMP

This safe, easy-to-use drying agent helps get rid of excess moisture in splices, cable ends and splicing materials. Our B Desiccant is a moisture-absorbing material which resembles sand in consistency. It is ideal for use with plastic or paper insulated cable. It's packaged in sealed, screw-top, moisture-proof cans and poly/foil Mylar laminate bags.

C Desiccant lets you thoroughly dry out pulp or paper insulated conductors, coax cable and spiral-four conductors. It is packaged in dust-proof bags and ten (10) bags are in each can.

Each can contains a moisture indicating capsule, fastened to the inside surface of the lid. This capsule, when exposed to moisture or excessive humidity, will change from blue to a pink color indicating that the desiccant has been affected and should no longer be used.
