2 x 50gram Silica Tyvek Tough Packs for Optics Protection

Description

Welcome to our Most Popular Moisture Control Line – It drinks up moisture from the air, stops condensation within enclosed storage areas, protects against mold, mildew and corrosion.

“It’s a miniature dehumidifier working night and day … yet needs no electricity.”

Why Moisture Control is Starting to be taken more seriously by Astronomers:

• Mould growth begins when a single spore of fungus lands, absorbs moisture and swells in size to form hyphae.  They spread and extend across the surface and grow best in dark, damp conditions.  Prevention of mould growth cannot be achieved without proper moisture control. 
• Once it starts to grow, it is difficult to get rid of, and can ruins optics in a short period of time by eating into the glass / flourite and optics of our equipment.
• Astronomy Equipment is particularly vulnerable as it usually not taken out during the day, may come in moist, or become moist when taken into the warm indoors from the cold outdoors.
