desiccant
Humidity-removing substance
A desiccant is a substance that absorbs moisture from its surroundings, used to keep things dry.
Silica gel packets are the most familiar desiccants, tucked into shoe boxes, vitamin bottles, and electronics packaging: Do not eat—the packet contains desiccant.
Industrial desiccants protect machinery and stored goods from humidity damage.
