Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the shelf life of an unopened VCI-WARNOCK desiccant pack?
When stored in its original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry place, our desiccant packs have an indefinite shelf life and are ready for use whenever you need them.
Can I recharge and reuse my VCI-WARNOCK desiccants?
Yes, our silica gel desiccant packs can be recharged. Simply heat them in a conventional oven at a low temperature (around 110°C / 225°F) for 1-2 hours to drive out the absorbed moisture, allowing for multiple uses.
How do I know when my desiccant pack is fully saturated and needs replacement?
Our premium silica gel desiccant contains visible moisture indicators. When the beads change color (often from blue to pink or orange), it signals that the pack is saturated and should be recharged or replaced for optimal performance.
