Redi-Dri™

What is the most frustrating moment you have experienced in the lab? Inadequate chemicals for the reaction? Or rock-solid material as you open your bottle when you only need a small amount? If you have ever experienced these issues, we have your solution - Redi-Dri™!

Redi-Dri™ is an innovative packaging product line that helps eliminate clumping material by adding extra packaging process steps without adding any chemical additives, anti-clumping agents, or hydrophobic compounds. Now you can enjoy free-flowing material without any worries. This is absolutely one of our successes, and we are excited to offer you such a highly efficient and cost-saving solution.

The Redi-Dri™ product line utilizes the freshest, highest quality of material that meets the desired specifications. Such technical evaluation ensures the best opportunity for free-flowing products within our innovative packaging system.

Redi-Dri™ material is prepared and packaged using specialized equipment under environmental conditions specifically designed to promote product usability and high quality of products.

The Redi-Dri™ packaging system essentially provides a “desiccator” in every bottle and limits the environmental effects that moisture can have on product quality.

A time study was performed to test the Red-Dri Packaging System against standard packaging. Equivalent units of both packaging systems containing potassium chloride (KCl) were introduced to a controlled environment with 85+/-5% relative humidity. Material was visually inspected and tested on a monthly basis by Loss on Drying (LOD). LOD analysis was performed on representative 5 g samples at 130 ºC for four hours under full vacuum.

The traditional packaging allowed the KCl to absorb atmospheric moisture resulting in a hard clumpy appearance and a higher LOD value.
The Redi-Dri™ packaging prevented water absorption and LOD values confirm a decrease in moisture content. The Redi-Dri™ KCl remained free-flowing through the 9-months of testing.

Figure1: he graph illustrated above demonstrates the long-term benefit of the exclusive Redi-Dri packaging system.

The KCl samples from the traditional packaging continued to absorb water from the atmosphere which caused hard chunks to form as shown by increasing LOD values. The LOD results for the Redi-Dri KCl trended in the opposite direction of the traditional packaging and actually showed decreasing H2O content. The appearance of the Redi-Dri powder therefore remained free flowing throughout the 9 month study.
