The 12 pages that link to Desiccant, each with the reason it gives.

• Crystal waterRelated: Desiccants can promote water loss from hydrates or protect them from atmospheric moisture.

• DeliquescenceCompared with: Desiccants manage moisture, while deliquescent substances may themselves become wet or liquid.

• Silica gelNarrower topic: Silica gel is a widely used solid desiccant in packages and equipment.

• DesiccationRelated: Desiccants create dry conditions in packaging, equipment, and enclosed spaces.

• EfflorescenceCompared with: Dry storage slows the moisture exchange that can trigger efflorescence.

• HygroscopyRelated: Desiccants exploit hygroscopicity to keep enclosed spaces dry.

• Calcium chlorideRelated: Anhydrous calcium chloride binds water and is used to dry gases and enclosed spaces.

• Magnesium chlorideRelated: Magnesium chloride absorbs water vapor in some drying applications.

• Molecular sieveNarrower topic: Molecular sieves are one class of desiccant, distinguished by controlled pore dimensions.

• Lithium chlorideNarrower topic: Anhydrous LiCl absorbs water vapor and can serve as a desiccant.

• Cobalt(II) chlorideNarrower topic: Cobalt chloride indicator papers can signal moisture uptake by desiccants.

• DefoliantCompared with: Desiccants dry plant tissue directly rather than primarily triggering leaf separation.
