Who we are
We manufacture at Gorwa BIDC in Vadodara and supply into more than forty countries — from half-gram sachets that go inside a tablet bottle to calcium chloride systems that hold a forty-foot container dry across the Indian Ocean.
What we actually sell is a judgement: which desiccant, how much of it, in what pack, for your particular enclosure and route. The products are the easy part.
Send us the problem and we will specify the answer — including when a cheaper product would serve you better.
Odd sizes, custom pouch materials and printed sachets to your artwork are routine work here.
ISPM-15, IATA and ISO compliant packaging. We ship this way ourselves, into 40+ countries.
MSDS across the range; SGS, RoHS and DMF-free declarations where your market requires them.
The problem
Corrosion starts above roughly 60% relative humidity. Mould needs about 65%. Hydrolysis in a pharmaceutical shows no visible sign at all. Knowing which mechanism you are fighting is what sets the target — and the product.
Rust & corrosion
Bare machined steel flash-rusts within hours once condensation forms on the surface.
Metal & engineeringMould & fungus
Leather, textiles and timber bloom above roughly 65% equilibrium humidity — and rarely clean up.
Textile & leatherContainer rain
The roof cools below dew point overnight, water condenses there and drips back onto the cargo.
Container controlElectronic component damage
Absorbed water flashes to steam at reflow and cracks the package from the inside.
ElectronicsPharmaceutical quality loss
Hydrolysis degrades moisture-sensitive actives with no visible change to the tablet.
Pharma packagingCaking & deterioration
Powders, spices and salt cake solid; snacks soften; dried fruit grows mould.
Food packagingPackaging & carton failure
Damp corrugated loses compression strength, labels lift and stacks collapse in transit.
Export shipmentsEquipment & oil contamination
Transformers and hydraulics breathe humid air on every thermal cycle, and the water ends up in the oil.

Amorphous adsorbent desiccant
The base grade: synthetic amorphous silica manufactured from sodium silicate, supplied loose in mesh sizes from coarse 1–2 through fine 30–60.
Adsorbs up to 40% of its own weight in moisture
Self-indicating desiccant
Cobalt-chloride indicating gel that shifts from deep blue to light pink as crystals, or blue to white as beads, telling you at a glance when it needs changing.
Changes colour when spent — no guesswork on replacement
Cobalt-free self-indicating desiccant
Orange-to-green indicating gel for applications that need a visual end-point but cannot accept a cobalt-based indicator.
Indicating performance without cobalt chloride
DMF-free & cobalt-free white gel
White non-indicating gel manufactured free of dimethyl fumarate and cobalt, for footwear, leather, textile and consumer goods exports.
Absorption capacity published up to 67.82%
Packed sachets
The core packed range: silica gel sealed into breathable pouches from 0.5 g to 5 kg, in Tyvek, non-woven, paper or cloth.
Fourteen standard sizes, four pouch materials, custom sizes to order
Tyvek-sealed desiccant packs
Type A silica gel beads sealed one-side into DuPont Tyvek, supplied with the documentation regulated customers ask for.
DMF-free and cobalt-free with MSDS, SGS and RoHS documentation
Large-format desiccant bags
Heavy bags from 200 g to 5 kg for corrugated cases, engineering crates and shipping containers.
Absorbs 35–40% of its own weight, with an optional hanging hook
Sealed-enclosure desiccant
Bagged desiccant for sealed enclosures where the target is a dew point, not just a humidity percentage.
Drives sealed enclosures toward a −100 °F dew point
Dual-layer container desiccant
Leak-proof dual-layer Tyvek and non-woven bags that hold a sea container dry across a full long-haul voyage.
Over 200% absorption capacity, protecting for more than 90 days
Calcium chloride & bentonite clay
High-profile food-grade desiccant in DuPont Tyvek, blending bentonite clay with calcium chloride.
Stops container rain, dewdrops and transit odour
Calcium chloride hanging pole
Vertical calcium chloride poles that hang in the corrugated recess of a container side panel and collect brine in a sealed chamber.
Four to eight poles protect a full 20 ft container
Reversible humidity indicator
Blue-to-pink indicator cards in single, three, four and six spot versions covering RH ranges from 5% to 60%.

How it works
The same six steps whether you are packing a tablet bottle or a forty-foot container.
Your product
What is being protected, and what does moisture do to it?
Moisture risk
Route, climate zones, storage period and the cargo's own moisture.
Desiccant selection
Silica gel, clay, calcium chloride or molecular sieve — they are not interchangeable.
Customised packaging
Pack size, pouch material, printing and format matched to your line.
Moisture protection
Sealed enclosure held below 50% RH, verified with indicator cards.
Safe arrival
Storage and transport without corrosion, mould or claims.

Insights
Most water damage claims on dry containers have nothing to do with rain, leaks or rough handling. The water was already inside the box when it was sealed.
It is not a gel, it does not get wet, and nothing chemically reacts. Understanding what silica gel actually does makes it much easier to use correctly.
Four questions narrow almost every application down to the right material. Most specification errors come from skipping the first one.
