Technical Specifications

When DampRid's white pellets are exposed to the air, they absorb excess
moisture and dissolve into a brine (salt solution). They won't dry the air to a
level that damages plants, animals or clothing. The formula is non-toxic, septic
safe and friendly to the environment. It's safe for home, family and pets and is
easy to dispose of after use.
DampRid® Moisture Absorbers work in three phases:
How DampRid® Works
Phase 1:
Excess moisture is absorbed into the white calcium chloride
crystals. The white crystals begin to harden and form a solid mass.
They have not yet dissolved. You may see liquid dripping into the
bottom chamber of the product at this stage.
Phase 2:
Excess moisture will most likely be dripping into the bottom of the
product. Approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of the white crystals will have
dissolved.
Phase 3:
All of the white crystals will have dissolved and the bottom of the
product will be full of liquid. You will see a small line of colored
freshener beads in the top chamber of our DampRid fragrance
products
DampRid® only absorbs excess moisture from the air — if placed in an area where humidity is
not a problem, the crystals will not begin to harden and dissolve. The DampRid® crystals remain
viable and continue to work, but only as needed.
DampRid® crystals will initially harden as part of the natural moisture absorption process.
Some consumers incorrectly assume the product is defective when they see the hardened
crystals.
If DampRid® turns to liquid form in a matter of days, this signals significant humidity and may
indicate a serious moisture problem that should be looked into by a professional contractor or
inspector.
DampRid® crystals may turn color — often brownish, orange, reddish, pinkish — from trace
amounts of minerals in them. This discoloration does not affect performance, and can be rinsed off
with water or left until the crystals have dissolved away entirely.
