Micro-Pak Dri Clay® Kraft X2

Metal-Detector Safe Moisture Protection for Apparel

Micro-Pak Dri Clay® Kraft X2 is a specially engineered version of Micro-Pak Dri Clay® Kraft developed for the apparel and garment industry, particularly for products that undergo metal-detector inspection.

Made from natural bentonite clay and packaged in biodegradable FSC® Kraft paper, Dri Clay® Kraft X2 provides effective moisture control while being specially processed to minimize the risk of interference with apparel metal detectors.

Its proprietary filtration process removes trace minerals with magnetic properties that may occasionally be present in natural bentonite clay. The result is a desiccant specifically designed for garment applications where reliable metal-detector performance is required.

Key Benefits

• Designed for Apparel – Developed specifically for garment and apparel packaging.

• Metal-Detector Compatible – Specially filtered to remove minerals with magnetic properties.

• 100% Pass Rate with Metal Detectors – Designed to pass apparel metal-detector inspection.

• Certified Plastic-Free – Made without plastic in the desiccant sachet construction.

• Natural Bentonite Clay – Uses a naturally occurring mineral with excellent moisture-adsorbing properties.

• Biodegradable FSC® Kraft Paper – Sustainable paper packaging solution.

• Effective Moisture Control – Helps reduce humidity inside individual garment packaging.

• Non-Corrosive – Suitable for moisture protection without the corrosive characteristics associated with calcium chloride.

• No Liquid Leakage – The clay remains dry after moisture adsorption under normal conditions.

• Chemical-Free Formulation – No harmful chemical additives.

• Same Moisture-Protection Performance – The proprietary filtration process does not change the core ingredient or intended moisture-control efficacy.

Why Apparel Manufacturers Need Dri Clay® Kraft X2

Apparel manufacturers frequently use metal detectors as part of their quality-control process to identify accidental metal contamination or components that may have been left inside garments.

Natural bentonite clay can contain extremely small amounts of naturally occurring minerals with magnetic properties. In very rare cases, these trace minerals can potentially trigger sensitive metal detectors.

Dri Clay® Kraft X2 solves this issue through a proprietary filtration process.

The clay is specially processed to remove minerals with magnetic properties while maintaining the moisture-absorbing characteristics of the original Dri Clay® formulation.

This makes Dri Clay® Kraft X2 particularly suitable for individual garment packaging when the finished apparel has to pass through a metal detector.

Dri Clay® Kraft X2 vs. Regular Dri Clay® Kraft

Recommended Apparel Application

Individual Garment Packing

For apparel products that are individually packed before or during metal-detector inspection, Dri Clay® Kraft X2 is recommended when the metal detector is operated at a 1.0 mm sensitivity setting.

The 2g and 6g sizes provide convenient moisture protection for individual packed garments while minimizing concerns about interference with the metal-detection process.

Bulk Packing

For bulk packaging applications where the desiccant is added after the metal-detection stage, regular Micro-Pak Dri Clay® Kraft can typically be used.

This allows manufacturers to select the appropriate Dri Clay® solution according to their production and quality-control process.

Available Sizes

Moisture Protection for Garments

Humidity can negatively affect garments during storage and transportation, particularly in high-humidity environments and international shipping.

Excess moisture inside packaging can contribute to:

• Mold and mildew

• Unpleasant odors

• Fabric deterioration

• Staining

• Reduced product quality

• Packaging-related moisture damage

Dri Clay® Kraft X2 adsorbs water vapor inside enclosed packaging, helping maintain a drier environment around the garment.

Natural Desiccant Technology

The active ingredient in Dri Clay® Kraft X2 is natural bentonite clay, a naturally occurring mineral known for its moisture-adsorbing properties.

Unlike liquid-forming moisture absorbers such as calcium chloride, Dri Clay® remains dry after adsorption under normal conditions, reducing the risk of leakage and protecting products and packaging from liquid moisture exposure.

The X2 filtration process specifically targets trace minerals with magnetic properties while maintaining the desiccant's intended moisture-control performance.

Sustainable Packaging Solution

Dri Clay® Kraft X2 combines moisture protection with sustainability:

• Natural bentonite clay

• Certified plastic-free construction

• Biodegradable FSC® Kraft paper

• No harmful chemical additives

• Non-corrosive formulation

• No liquid leakage under normal adsorption conditions

This makes it an appropriate moisture-control option for apparel manufacturers looking to reduce plastic use while maintaining product protection.

Technical Specifications

*Based on the manufacturer's stated metal-detector testing/performance specification. Actual production-line performance can depend on the metal detector, sensitivity, product configuration, packaging and inspection conditions.
