Multisorb StriPax® Sorbent Packets / Silica Gel Desiccants. Spooled or Pre Cut Packet Sizes

Stripax Sorbent refers to a range of compact, durable desiccant packets manufactured by Multisorb, renowned for their ability to absorb moisture and other volatile compounds. What makes them stand out is their superior construction quality, featuring medical-grade Tyvek® material, which ensures both exceptional strength and a high water vapor transmission rate, offering significant absorption in a minimal footprint.

Stripax Sorbent packets work by utilizing various sorbent materials, such as silica gel, indicating silica gel, molecular sieve, or activated carbon, encased within a highly permeable Tyvek® outer layer. This combination allows for the efficient adsorption of moisture or other undesirable gases from the surrounding environment, creating a controlled, dry, and stable micro-environment within the packaging.

While the primary function of Stripax Sorbent is protective, the materials used, particularly the Tyvek®, are known for their durability and inertness. Information on specific recycling protocols for used sorbent packets would typically be provided by Multisorb or Valdamark Direct, as it can depend on the sorbent type and what it has absorbed.

Multisorb offers a variety of sorbent fills for their Stripax packets, catering to different protective needs. These commonly include silica gel for general moisture absorption, indicating silica gel which changes color to show saturation, molecular sieve for very low relative humidity environments, and activated carbon for odor or volatile organic compound (VOC) adsorption.

The effective lifespan of a Stripax Sorbent packet depends on several factors, including the type and size of the sorbent, the initial moisture content of the product and packaging, the permeability of the packaging itself, and the environmental conditions it’s stored in. They are designed to maintain product integrity over typical shelf-life periods.

Stripax Sorbent packets are widely utilized in industries where moisture and gas control are critical. Their primary market applications include pharmaceuticals, in-vitro diagnostics, medical devices, dietary supplements, precision parts, electronic equipment, and optical instruments, safeguarding the integrity and performance of these sensitive items.

Yes, one of the key advantages of Multisorb's Stripax Sorbent is its customizability. They are available in a wide variety of standard sizes, including low-profile options, and can also be tailored to exact client requirements in terms of size, shape, and sorbent fill to optimize space and absorption capacity within specific packaging designs.

Stripax packets are uniquely designed in a strip format, making them ideal for fast, automated loading. Multisorb offers their own APA-series of Stripax Packet Dispensers, which facilitate lean packaging operations and increased reliability on assembly lines, ensuring efficient and accurate placement.

Absolutely. Stripax Sorbent packets are constructed using soft, flexible, medical-grade Tyvek® which is chemically inert, non-dusting, and lint-free. This superior construction ensures they pose no risk of damage or contamination to sensitive products such as pharmaceutical tablets or capsules.

Yes, depending on the sorbent blend chosen. Multisorb can furnish Stripax packets with blends of odor and moisture adsorbent compounds, allowing for comprehensive protection against both humidity and unwanted odors in a single packet.

The compact and low-profile design of Stripax Sorbent packets is a significant benefit, as they occupy minimal space within packaging. This "space-saving" feature is crucial for optimizing packaging efficiency and reducing overall package size, which can lead to cost savings in shipping and storage.

The outer casing of Stripax Sorbent packets is made from medical-grade Tyvek®, a highly durable, non-woven material composed of 100% pure high-density polyethylene fibers. Tyvek® is exceptionally effective due to its superior strength, puncture resistance, and high water vapor transmission rate, which allows moisture and gases to pass through easily while preventing leakage of the sorbent material.

Yes, a key feature of Stripax Sorbent packets is that they are non-dusting and lint-free. This characteristic is particularly important for sensitive applications like pharmaceuticals and electronics, where even microscopic particles could cause contamination or damage.

The specific moisture adsorption capacity of Stripax Silica Gel packets will vary based on the packet size and the relative humidity of the environment. However, they are designed for high moisture adsorption, with technical data often referencing their capacity at specific relative humidity levels, like 25% minimum at 25°C/80% RH.

Yes, due to their construction with medical-grade Tyvek®, Stripax Sorbent packets are described as highly durable and virtually puncture-proof. This robust design significantly reduces the risk of leakage, even in challenging environments.

Indeed, Stripax Sorbent packets are manufactured using FDA-approved (21 CFR-compliant) materials and are supported by a Type III Drug Master File (DMF). This makes them suitable for use in all regulated product packaging, including pharmaceuticals and food-contact applications.

The high MVTR of the Tyvek® material used in Stripax packets is a double benefit: it allows for rapid and efficient passage of moisture and gases into the sorbent material for absorption, while simultaneously ensuring the packet remains robust and resistant to tearing or puncturing.

When intact, Stripax Sorbent packets pose little to no immediate hazard. The sorbent materials are contained within the packet, and direct exposure is unlikely. However, as with any chemical product, specific safety information should be reviewed on the relevant Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the particular sorbent fill.

While ingestion is unlikely due to the durable packet design, if it were to occur, it could potentially cause a blockage. In such a rare event, immediate medical attention should be sought. The sorbent materials themselves, such as silica gel, are generally considered inert.

To maintain their efficacy, Stripax Sorbent packets should be stored in a cool, dry location and kept in their sealed containers away from moisture and odors until ready for use. This prevents premature absorption and ensures maximum protective capacity when deployed.

No, a significant advantage of Stripax Sorbent is its non-dusting and lint-free nature. This characteristic is crucial for protecting sensitive products, particularly in industries like electronics and pharmaceuticals, where contamination can have serious implications.

Yes, the uncoated, welded, medical-grade Tyvek® used in Stripax packets is chemically inert, meaning it will not react with or contaminate the products it is protecting. This inertness is vital for ensuring product integrity, especially for pharmaceuticals and other sensitive goods.

Stripax Sorbent packets offer several advantages over traditional bulk desiccants. Their compact, pre-portioned design allows for precise dosing and easy integration into packaging, reducing waste and manual handling. The high-performance Tyvek® material also ensures efficient moisture uptake, often surpassing the performance of traditional loose fills.

The cost-saving benefits of Stripax Sorbent are manifold. Their compact size reduces overall packaging volume and weight, leading to lower shipping costs. Automated dispensing capabilities increase production efficiency and reduce labor costs, while preventing product spoilage due to moisture also minimizes financial losses.

By actively controlling the internal package environment and preventing moisture-induced degradation, Stripax Sorbent plays a crucial role in extending the shelf life of sensitive products. This helps maintain product quality, efficacy, and overall consumer satisfaction.
