Choosing the correct magnesium chloride desiccant specification is important for protecting products from moisture damage during storage, transportation, and international shipping.
Different products require different moisture absorber bag sizes depending on packaging volume, humidity conditions, and protection requirements.
SORBSTAR provides a wide range of magnesium chloride desiccant bag sizes from 2g to 500g, suitable for applications from small retail packaging to large industrial shipments.
This guide explains common magnesium chloride desiccant sizes, packaging options, and applications to help you select the right moisture control solution.
What is Magnesium Chloride Desiccant?

Magnesium chloride desiccant is a high-performance moisture absorber made from anhydrous magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) combined with a starch-based polymer.
When exposed to moisture, it quickly absorbs water vapor from the surrounding environment and transforms into a solid block. This helps prevent liquid leakage and provides safe, long-lasting moisture protection.
SORBSTAR magnesium chloride desiccant features:
- High moisture absorption capacity
- Solidification after moisture absorption
- Excellent performance under high humidity conditions
- Non-toxic and odorless
- Suitable for export packaging and container transportation
It is widely used in industries where moisture protection is critical.
