HYDROSORBENT® Silica Gel Moisture Absorbers for Camera (40gm - 1 Pack). Blue to Pink. Telescopes, Safe Dehumidifier Rechargeable. Reusable Desiccant Dehumidifier. Made in USA. 40g Mini Canister

I have a bunch of these things. I use them mostly for moisture protection for firearms, since I live in very humid South Georgia. I have found that these 40 gram units work very well. I check the indicators on them frequently, and find that in summer they will need "recharging" about every two months, in winter only about every four months. This refers to items kept inside an air conditioned house. The recharge is really just drying the silica gel, done in an oven set at 300 degrees for 2-3 hours. No odor, so your wife won't get mad..I stick mine on a cookie sheet and let them bake while I do other chores. Good product, recommended..beware of some on the market that LOOK almost the same as these, but contain less gel, or crummy gel. The knock-offs are usually much lower-priced than these, but are a total rip-off.

Using them in my gun case. I have to re-charge these every few months. They seem to work quite well, though after going shooting on a rainy day, I still encountered some very light rusting the next time I took the gun out. Only caveat: I always have a hard time telling when the color has changed all the way, because I’m red-green colorblind, and the pink isn’t particularly obvious. (Though the pellets start out in a very dark color, I’m never sure whether they’ve turned color all the way yet.)

used this product to keep sensitive equipment dry in a case and it seemed to work very well and the best part is it can be recharged and reused over and over . would say this product would work well for about 1 to 2 sq ft of storage space

I bought this to put in the bottom of my low whistle bag. I've got several in different keys and when they get all clogged up with spittle from playing, (yes I know that's gross), it can be hard to bend some notes out. This little thing really works to keep the moisture down in the windway. I've already had to recharge mine in the oven like directed and it worked!!!! This works great.

I bought this to place in a small gun safe. I've dried it out several times now in the oven. It's worked perfectly preventing dampness and rust in my gun safe. Would be nice if you could put it in a microwave - but that is not possible, since it has a metal case. A better design would be plastic.

I had originally purchased several of the generic version, that says "Reactivate when green" [...] "280 degrees F" on the tin. The beads never really change color on those much, and I don't think they really work very well in the first place By contrast, these Hydrosorbent desiccants clearly turn pink when they need to be reactivated. I swapped out the generic ones in all my Pelican cases for these. I was surprised to see that they did their job far better than the generics, by orders of magnitude. In my case, I had a piece of equipment which was used for several hours during an overnight, and thus was exposed to a heavy dew. The following day, after opening the case I noticed a frost / fog inside the LCD display. Apparently the generic desiccant hadn't worked very well. I left the equipment in the sun to dry it out, which worked. I then ordered these Hydrosorbent desiccants to replace the generics, because I didn't have time to reactivate before I needed the same equipment for another overnight. First off, what seemed to be a dry case after an afternoon in the sun obviously wasn't. Lo and behold, the first Hydrosorbent went pink after a few days, before the second overnight. I replaced the first Hydrosorbent with a fresh one. After the second overnight, with similar dew conditions, there was no fog inside the display. That says it all! I don't know whether I should even bother reactivating the generics after this experience, but I definitely won't be buying more. I'm sticking with these.

Product had some nice reviews, so I purchased this one. However, after my purchase, I read some rather disturbing postings about this product. Based on those reviews, it was stated that this particular canister contained dangerous, cancer causing material, and this could pose a real threat, especially when drying out in an oven for three hours. These warnings are a matter of open discussion in reviews, so I decided to throw out this product, and buy another with different material inside.

This would be a great product if you do not have high humidity. I have a very humid house. Purchased this for my safe to keep contents dry. While it did work great, it was overwhelmed with moisture within a week. Consider a larger one if you are using it in a very humid environment.

Celà fait maintenant 3 ans que j'utilise et ré-utilise ces dispositifs ré-utilisable et je n'ai pas eu de souci. Mes malles à optiques d'appareil photos restent seches et je n'ai pas eu de fungi.

A+++ Fast shipping. Will buy from again. Thank you!

J'en avais acheté plusieurs pour m'assurer de réduire le taux d'humidité dans des étuis à instruments. Je ne peux pas dire si c'était vraiment efficace le fait est que la couleur passait rapidement à la couleur qui indique une saturation en humidité. Je n'ai jamais réussi à les faire sécher pour qu'ils reviennent à la couleur initiale quand ils sont censés être secs. Je suis passé à un autre système de contrôle d'humidité depuis et je n'ai plus ceux là.
