Dessicant Active Packaging made with Tyvek®
Tyvek® has come to Chase Corp!
Active Packaging solutions made with Tyvek® have come home to Chase from DupontTM
Made by Chase Corp for DupontTM previously, these active packaging solutions come directly from Chase now. Made of high density polyethylene fibers, the materials are manufactured in a unique flash-spinning process without the use of binders, offering a durably rugged sheet structure. Our active packaging combines ideal physical properties of paper, film and fabric to offer unique advantages for a wide variety of demanding active packaging applications.
Active Packaging made with Tyvek® brand materials are extremely durable, puncture resistant and feature high water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) , allowing for easy moisture and gas passage, that makes this material ideal for sorbent packets.
Uncoated medical grade Active Packaging made with Tyvek® is chemically inert and is ideal for desiccant packs used in regulated healthcare product packaging. Note: Tyvek is a Dupont registered trademark and is authorized for use in this application by Dupont.

Healthcare Active Packaging
Superior materials for healthcare products protection
Key challenges:
For pharmaceutical and healthcare products, moisture is always a challenge. It can impact the chemical and physical stability of drugs and nutritional supplements.
Desiccant packs inside the product packaging can help absorb the moisture inside and help preserve the products throughout their shelf life. However, desiccants particle shedding or possible leakage might be potential contamination threats to the healthcare products.
The pharmaceutical and healthcare sector faces stringent regulatory requirements that vary from country to country, particularly concerning materials that come into contact with the contents.
What Tyvek® can provide:
- Supporting Regulatory information for selected offering: European Pharmacopoeia 3.1.3 and 3.1.5; USP <661.1>; US FDA Food Contact Regulation (21 CFR 177.1520); European Food Contact Regulation (EU N° 10/2011 and EC N° 2023/2006) – The regulatory information letters are available upon request.
- Breathability helps enabling moisture absorption.
- Low linting, super nonwoven structure and good durability to keep what inside always inside.
- Tyvek® styles without antistatic treatment will not promote the growth of mildew or other microorganisms.
- Chemical and solvent resistance (Tech. handbook).

Food Active Packaging
Tyvek® for Scavenger Sachet provides safe and robust protection
Key challenges:
In the food industry, safety performance always comes first. Strength, breathability and water resistance are very important attributes required by active packaging for food to ensure the packaging safety performance as well as in use.
Oxygen and Ethylene scavenger sachet also requires good gas permeability and robustness so as to help ensure the safety performance and easiness to use.
What Tyvek® can provide:
- Supporting Regulatory information for selected offering : US FDA Food Contact Regulation (21 CFR 177.1520); European Food Contact Regulation (EU N° 10/2011 and EC N° 2023/2006) – The regulatory information letters are available upon request.
- Breathability that enable moisture, oxygen and ethylene adsorption.
- Puncture resistance helps prevent the bag to burst.

Electronics Active Packaging
Electronic desiccant provides reliable protective packaging
Key challenges:
Electronic elements are usually of high value and very sensitive to humidity, static electricity and particles. Expose to those may result in irreversible damage and huge economic loss. Desiccants are essential to ensure the required environmental humidity during storage and transportation. Mean-while the package need to meet strict standards to avoid potential risk to the elements.
What Tyvek® can provide:
- Material not containing restricted chemicals above the limits, as listed in European Directives, such as RoHS (Directive 2015/863/EU) or REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).
- Puncture resistance helps prevent the bag to burst.
- Performance helps meet requirements of MIL-D-3464E military specification.
- Low linting and a smooth surface that avoid particle release and scratching.
- Anti-static treatment helps minimize electrostatic discharge.

Tyvek® 1025D, Tyvek® 1056D
Container Active Packaging
Tyvek® for container desiccant provides secure packaging under severe condition
Key challenges:
During transportation, the container may be subject to great temperature change. Especially when the container is moving from high temperature to lower, high humidity will cause water drops to form inside the container as well as inside package of the product which could damage the goods. Desiccant can help reduce environmental humidity but need to make sure itself meets stringent test to avoid potential burst and contamination of the container.
What Tyvek® can provide:
- Material not containing restricted chemicals above the limits, as listed in European Directives, such as RoHS (Directive 2015/863/EU) or REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).
- Puncture resistance helps prevent the bag to burst.
- Water resistance & breathability helps reduce humidity that may spoil goods in the container.
- Performance helps meet requirements of MIL-D-3464E military specification.
